Make folder available to other apps on Android?
I'd like to use Dropbox to sync Obsidian markdown files on my Android phone and tablet (since the official Obsidian sync corrupts my files). How can I do that? I tried doing "Make available offline" but that didn't make the folder available to other apps, only within the Dropbox app. I tried DropSync but that only syncs once every hour, which is not often enough for using Obsidian.
Thanks!

That's not really something that Dropbox can do automatically. There's no way to make a folder available to other apps on the device, and files or folders marked as available offline aren't directly accessible though the Android file system; only through the Dropbox app.
Well Dropbox should get working on this feature then. Making files and folders available across devices used to be Dropbox's core function.
