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...

As a long time paying user of Dropbox, I absolutely view this enforced change as a massive step backwards. Paid users don't necessarily want to use Dropbox apps as part of their work flow, I certainly don't.
Please give your paying users the option to allow other apps on an android device to access Offline Files. Or rename the Offline Files feature to "Unuseful Hidden Files Only Accessible Through the Dropbox App". As sarcastic as that reads, it's certainly how I see it.
As others have said, Dropsync works well, but the fact we've had to seek this third party application proves how the new restriction is not what your users want. I don't want to have to install a third party application to fix the feature that has been removed from the Dropbox Android app.
If this isn't resolved I'll most probably stop paying for Dropbox and find an alternative that doesn't have this restriction. There are certainly many cheaper or even free options as mentioned by others.
Please listen to your users, thank you.
