Hi Ela, in response to 1:
a) Please could we have a direct link to Offline files/folders on the Home page of the mobile app, ideally as a button in the navigation menu at the bottom of the page (plenty of room for a fifth button).
b) Perhaps even more helpful would be having single click sort by name / by modified buttons on each folder – ideally each folder would also remember the last way you sorted it (as that's usually the way you want to see it).
c) Could the top-level folders look or be coloured differently (in order to prevent accidental navigation "above" them, which in some circumstances, such as the Android "Add to Dropbox", cancels the action)?
Thank you.

This is exactly what we see lately! Sometimes the download starts, sometimes it 404s.
Seems to be random.

ElaMGeekDesign Thanks for replying. Are you trying to download the file and its not successful?
I am sorry but the UX of downloading/uploading files to dropbox mobile is poor.
Is there really no download/upload progress bar on the mobile app?
How am I supposed to know if a file has uploaded/downloaded to or from my phone without a progress bar?
I hope I'm missing something and there is actually a way to enable this...

Hey Antony P.3 - sorry to jump in here, but I wanted to let you know that we checked back with the team and it seems that the spacing between folders can't be customized at this time.
Thanks for your feedback on this!
