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.

Wish I could use Dropbox on my Android 7 and also open my third-party app files via the website
Would be nice to have access to the previous version and install it and of course accept less latest functions.
It would have been nice with a warning before so I could have disabled automatic updates!
Alternatively it would be very convenient if - like in the app - after logging in to the Dropbox website via Chrome one can choose which app already installed on the unit to open the file with. Example: in a Dropbox folder I have some *.ost files used with the app OpenSongapp. This I can choose in the app but not via your website. Please enable, thanks

Hey Elo Detsor, thanks for the heads up!
We were asking if you're using the app or our website, in case this Help Center article could help.
In any case, I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.
If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way!
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with Android 7. Dropbox app has without a warning been discontinued for Android less than version 8
Thus I open Dropbox website in Google chrome on the said device and see all my files as in the Android Dropbox app. However, I don't get a chance to Open with... as in the app where I can choose the installed app OpenSongapp to open eg *.ost files
Kindly add this to your improvements - or perhaps even better allow me to install the previous version that worked very with Android 7, thank you

Hey Elo Detsor, hope you’re doing great.
First of all, I’d like to thank you for all your feedback; I’ve made sure our team can see it, too.
Now, as for the second part of your post, are you referring to the Dropbox website on your mobile (Android) browser, or your computer instead?
Let me know.
- Thanks for quick response. I refer of course to the Dropbox website on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 mobile (Android 7) Chrome browser.
