Listen to music via dropbox

5 years on ....

I was at least hoping for a very very basic playlist feature by now to be honest. 

Another reason for doing this is customers who deal with audio for a living can then use Dropbox for work. I've just come from a community discussion with Sync artists, many of whom want to use Dropbox, but have to turn to other services because of a lack of a basic playlist feature.

Hey gstout, 

Thanks for posting your feature request here and welcome to the Dropbox Community!

Indeed, users' opinions are valued immmensely. Positive or negative, your feedback is extremely valuable as we are always looking for ways to improve. I will personally ensure that your need to create playlists in dropbox is passed along to the team, and I'd like to invite you to continue posting constructive feedback like this here.

Indeed, there is a special section on the Community that is dedicated exactly to this purpose. Please use the "Share an idea" section here (I can see that some already have) to give us similar ideas, we'd love to hear back from you. 

Again, I remain at your entire disposal if further asssitance or clarifications are needed. 

Take a look at their Dropbox player demo page - [link to external website removed according to our Community Guidelines]

Actually it's not a player at all, it's just an HTML page with a list of Dropbox mp3. Just create a Dropbox app, then add its credentials to your account. Then open this player page and it will play all your mp3.

Good suggestion!

For iOS, I swear by Documents6 by Readdle.  I really miss it on the Android platform.  What those guys have done in terms of reliable off-line sync, and of built-in players and readers - and for free - is truly remarkable.

In fact, it so much makes the Google Drive app look like useless rubbish that I uninstalled it and just use Documents6 on my mobile devices to access Google Drive instead!  But I digress :-)

I may have just found a solution that works for me.  Just hunted the app store and downloaded a simple free version of Music Player lite.  There is a paid version but i am able to click and drag and make a temporary playlist and then just hit the delete button to get rid of them and was still able to make a file name change while it was playing.  Simple but when i need to play a few songs or hear something this may just cover my needs.  Not sure what else it can do with the paid version but this was all i was wanting, to have a simple playlist when needed, don't want to save them just have more flexibility.
