Listen to music via dropbox
I placed my music in dropbox. If I want to listen directly using dropbox, I can listen only to one song at a time I had to select an other song in a folder to listen again. Is there a possibility to ...
Did you ever solve this issue? With only playing one song at a time?
There is no solution for this in Dropbox because it's not a media player. Find a media player application that has Dropbox functionality built-in to it.
Sadly, DropBox does not implement the necessary functionality to make this painless. The "make available offline" functionality is the only way how to get a whole directory or directory structure stored on the Android device, but the files which are synced that way cannot be discovered by the usual music apps because they are stored only in the app directory and in a way that is not usable.
Syncing with the Android device should allow to store directories in dedicated media folders and also on an SD storage device, if present, but DropBox does not provide this.
This is extremely basic and something everyone would expect from a Cloud storage solution, yet DropBox has failed for a long time now to provide this and continues to respond with "solutions" which are just absurd, like exporting every single file individually, without any option of actual syncing.
Very disappointed by this.
