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...

Dropbox StaffHi everyone, we appreciate the feedback on how to improve the Dropbox mobile app.
This is the expected behavior of the Android app, so it wouldn't be possible to change it for offline files to be visible outside the app.

Jay, The application for Android used to work in such a way, so... "to improve"... 🤷 There is nothing to improve! Just get back the feature available on versions 202.2.2 and earlier (and might be one more later).

What are you saying? The versions I mentioned above are "impossible"?!... Strange... 🤔 Probably they are imaginary... They don't exist and never existed on the earth.
Oh... I forgot to mention that I'm using the version mentioned and it's working "as expected":
... As most people expect, not as you expect! 👆 So it's possible... definitely. 😉
