You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Make offline files visible in the android filesystem
I think you should make files stored offline on Android available in the file system.
As it is now, the dropbox files marked as 'available offline' are hidden from the rest of the operating sys...
crckrmn77 Exactly! Just when I decided to stop using Syncthing and instead sync my music with dropbox they removed this functionality, and now it's suddenly in need "a bit more support". It's preposterous. If they hadn't billed me for this year already I'd have left.
Previously the issue was that dropbox wouldn't download on sd cards, and my interal memory was insufficient. I got a better phone, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
It appears Google Drive doesn't allow this functionality either, but onedrive might have it locked behind a premium subscription. I might get a free month with them to see if they provide what I'm looking for, but for now I'm stuck with dropbox for another 10 months. Fingers crossed this feature gets re-added before the end of that preiod, because I really love dropbox, it saved my data in the past, but if I'm going to pay 100+ euros for a cloud service, I'd like to be able to use it to sync my mp3s.
EDIT: Then agian, I remember a time where you had to select files individually for offline avaiablility. Thank God that's no longer an issue.
