You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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...
2.5 years later and still not fixed. This list of comments likely only scratches the surface of the number of people who are affected by this (most people just wouldn't bother to comment).
People want to be able to edit the file with other apps and, when saved within that other app, have that sync to their DB account.
Does the DB team even read these comments?

Doesn't matter. The overpaid, technologically illiterate suits with MBAs at the top have zero vision and cannot understand why someone would want this ability.
I need someone from dropbox to explain why this is so messed up. I used to love your service hiding the files on android phones is ridiculous.
- Obviously Dropbox has no intention of reverting back to when they had a real useable sync solution. Not sure which genius decided the core feature i started using this product over a decade ago was no longer needed, but their decision is clear.
I cancelled my subscription and found another working solution. Goodbye Dropbox, it was good while it lasted, but you refuse to listen to the customers.
