Android user here. When you link with Dropbox, Lightpaper wants to create its own folder to store documents in, and cannot get out of that folder.

It would be nice if I could access, oh you know, all the pre-existing Markdown content I have arranged in multiple folders and already syncing down to different places.

This is a fail for me. [Draft](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mvilla.dra...) does nicely on Android, and [Dillinger.io](http://dillinger.io/) on desktop/browser.

Looks like they have chosen to only use App Folder permissions rather than full Dropbox. I suppose it helps in getting production approval, but then if other apps are able to get them I wonder why can't lightpaper.
