Hi,
A lot of users were accessing offline files on Android by looking into Android/data/com.dropbox folder. With one of recent updates this is gone. It would be very welcome if users can set a location for offline files (internal storage or SD card) and also folder that is accessible by 3rd party apps (file system, audio player, email,...).
