All reader apps in the Amazon appstore (except library apps like OverDrive) are marked incompatible by Amazon for all Fire's. They want you to read Kindle books on Fire's and make you jump through a few hoops to use other readers.
Other apps must be sideloaded. If you turn on Apps from Unknown Sources on your Fire (settings--->Applications) you'll then be able to sideload Android apps.
For free apps you can copy the URL of the app on play.google.com and paste it in at an APK download site (an APK is kind of like an exe in Windows) such as
https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ and download the app that way, once downloaded tap to launch and install the app.
For paid apps it's a little trickier. What I've done for my paid versions of Moon+ Pro and Mantano is load them on one of my Android devices and then use Astro file explorer to do a backup of the app. I then install this backed-up APK on my Fire which is signed into the same account as the app was bought with (so authentication works).

Dropbox is in the Amazon store and works with Fires.
