Make offline files visible in the android filesystem

"Save a file to the Dropbox folder on your computer, and it will synchronize automatically to your mobile device. Cloud file sync is available on multiple devices and platforms, from Windows and Mac to mobile devices like iPhone, iPad and Android via the Dropbox mobile app."
Of course it syncs to my Android. You just have to open the app, wait for it while having internet, then select the file, then click export and it gets downloaded.
How is this not "syncing"? What do you mean you can just use a browser?
What do you mean the browser has a "download" option for a folder and the app doesn't, so you can download and unpack it?
What do you mean what is the point of the android app? It's for uploading the camera reel and ... erm. Well it's worse than the web interface but at least it has fewer features. Might be faster.
