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, due to recent updates made to Android systems, offline files can only be stored in a Cache folder. I am afraid that the only way to access your Dropbox files on your mobile device even when offline is to use the Dropbox App directly. This would be the intended functionality.
If you wish to access these files outside of the Dropbox App then you can always export your Dropbox files to your mobile device directly instead. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

You and DB are just searching for (invalid) excuses. Not for solutions.
Every other app out there can make own folder in the root drive that is fully available to the user and all other apps (android user). For example, I have an app from DJI (drones) and cached photos are stored in publicly available folder. Even the standard Gallery app has access there. So - no excuses from DB. You tell us just bullsh*t. I think it's time to move to a competitor.
