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...

The loss of the key feature I paid for dropbox for on my new tablet is infuriating. Cloud storage is not a shiny special feature, there are many competing services. Dropbox used to distinguish itself by having "available offline" mean what it says. Now, they're simply not "available" at all.
Trying to replace all other file interfaces is insane. You're doing it badly. The strength was letting other applications handle things appropriately for their specialized needs.
I have apps like moonreader+ that try to integrate into Dropbox by using your inter-app communications, and even *they* can't access files consistently.
