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...

Is that why my go***bleep** smarthome stopped working, cause all my tablets have stopped having access to the shared resources that dropbox synced.
Look. I like dropbox, a lot, but some of these decisions are incredibly hard to understand. What am I supposed to do, Dropbox, export each file in my music collection? Manually export every jpg that is used as a background? Export an entire website structure by hand, file by file?
Why are you making yourself so difficult to like? Make a dropbox folder in the root storage or whatever and sync there.
This is ridiculous. Either sync to all supported platforms or admit you can't - I can see and export files from a web browser, I don't need an app.
Also, hell, Dropbox, it worked until I opened the app it it forced me to update so it works, you just killed the feature cause newer users upgraded to a newer android. So an app that works on an OS that works just gets nuked cause you can't be bothered to keep the feature.
