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...

Sadly it appears OneDrive doesn't have this functionality either, as far as I understand. MetaCtrl has apps for autosyncing for various services, including Dropbox, OneDrive, MEGA, and a bunch others, which makes me suspect none of these have it. Maybe that's why Dropbox doesn't care about the feature either. If the competition doesn't have it, why should they care? Certainly not because their customers request it.
In the meantime it appears OneDrive has block level up now too. And is has a sort of version history as well, as well as a rewind feature in case you have issues with the whole folder. Plus officer, for whoever's interested. I'm also considering GDrive for the extra photos space, and MEGA's nice and secure and gets you over that 4GB limit... I dunno, frankly given that none of them have this autosync feature which is what I'm really interested in, I might just end up staying with Dropbox out of convenience and inertia. I still have about a month to think about it.
