Can't play music when I minimize the Dropbox app on Android
Hello. When I minimize the app while playing music on android it stops playing. I've tried to add a new player and open my files in external apps but nothing works. My whole music team uses dropbox and it's very incovenient for us, and I saw a lot of people talking about it on the internet. Do you think it would be possible to fix this problem? Thank you so much

Simply put Dropbox isnt designed as a music player. It does it to help people access single files for work etc. on the go, not, listen to music - hence the 20gb bandwidth limits apply to streaming via mobile devices.
The only work arounds I can think of are to use third party applications.
