Is there a way to run the Dropbox app in the background on my iPhone?
Hey everyone, I just switched to an Android from an iPhone. I am facing a feature problem that I loved on my iPhone! Which is, if I open up an audio file from my dropbox app I can just do other stuff on my phone. On android however, it stops playing whenever I switch over to a different app. Is there a way to let it run in the background just like the iPhone? Thanks!

Dropbox Photos tab loads forever on the site or mobile app
When I attempt to view the Photos tab in either theDropbox app, or on Dropbox web, it loads indefinitely. The loading bar cycles through its usual loading messages until it says “Almost there …” then loads no matter how long I wait. It is possible the issue may be due to the fact I recently removed a training data folder containing a very high number of images (~500,000) and now it's in a re-indexing loop, or something like that. It's been a week since that event. How can I fix this, so I can view all of my photos in one place again?Backdoor/bootleg way to download & install Dropbox on latest Kindle Fire Max 11 tablet?
I have the Dropbox app on my previous tablet, the Fire HD 10. At one time Dropbox was in the Amazon app store (analogous to Google Play store). It's not there any more. The Kindle is an Android device, but Google Play apps can't reliably be installed. I assumed I'd be able to install Dropbox on the newest Fire tablet. Not so. I spent an hour on the phone this afternoon with an Amazon CSR who ultimately told me that if an app isn't in the Amazon app store, you can't install it. Even though the Dropbox app is in my Amazon app library, I still can't download/install it on the new tablet. But I wouldn't expect him to know of a secret way to do it, or if he did know, to tell me. I can log in to Dropbox.com on the Kindle's Silk browser, but when I try to open a "paper," I get a message to download the app. 🙄 Yeah, that's what I'd like to do. I do have a Dropbox Plus paid subscription. It would be great if I could somehow transfer the app from my older Kindle to the new one. Can anyone help?My ebooks don't sync to my pocketbook Dropbox folder.
I used to be able to synchronise ebooks from dropbox on my phone to dropbox on my pocketbook. Starting from yesterday is doesn't work anymore. De pocketbook folder on my phone contains an ebook. But the folder on my pocketbook remains empty, after several times of synchronising. I have tried logging of my dropbox account on my pocketbook and starting again. But nothing helps.
How do I see files uploaded via "Dropbox Backup" on my iPhone?
On my Mac in addition to the regular Dropbox folder, I also have my Desktop and Documents folder syncing to Dropbox. That's all fine, but I don't see how I can see/access those files from the Dropbox iPhone app. Can this be done? Here's a screenshot of what it looks like on the Mac: [email removed as per Community Guidelines]
