For anyone interested in future, here's the code all in one place. Do rate it up if this helps.

In your *.h file add this

@interface v1BackupComplete : UIViewController 
{

    UIDocumentInteractionController *docController;

}

In your *.m file add this

/************************
 * Dropbox ACTION
 ************************/
-(IBAction) dropBoxAction2
{
    NSLog(@"dropBoxAction2 ...");

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask ,YES);
    NSString* documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSMutableString *fileNameStr3 = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"test_VCARD_Backup.vcf"];
    NSString* vcardDataFileStr = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileNameStr3];


    NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:vcardDataFileStr];
    docController = [self setupControllerWithURL:fileURL
                                   usingDelegate:self];

    bool didShow = [docController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:self.view.bounds inView:self.view animated:YES];

    NSLog(@"didShow %d ...", didShow);

    if (!didShow)
    {
        UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"ERROR"
                                                        message:@"Sorry. The appropriate apps are not found on this device."
                                                       delegate:nil
                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                              otherButtonTitles: nil];
        [alert show];
    }
}


#pragma mark - UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate

                                               usingDelegate:(id )         interactionDelegate {

    UIDocumentInteractionController *interactionController =
    [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:fileURL];
    interactionController.delegate = interactionDelegate;

    return interactionController;
}
