Is there a way to change the auto-play of the audio files on the mobile app?
We used to love to use Dropbox to play music for recitals because it would automatically stop after each song. I have noticed that recently this feature has been removed and now it immediately goes to the next song and plays it. Is there a way to choose whether you can auto follow to the next track or play single track?
Multiple windows for folders in Dropbox on Android
This USED TO not be a problem, but I think an Android update may have set me back. I once was able to put a dropbox widget (folder shortcut) onto my Android home screen that would take me to folder A in dropbox. I had a second widget that would take me to folder B in dropbox. Then I could toggle back and forth between those two folders using Android windows (or "Activities" as they call them). Now, and again I suspect an update caused this, I still have my two widgets, I click the widget to folder A and everything is good. But when I return to the home screen and click the widget to folder B, it opens up IN PLACE OF the window that had folder A. I can no longer have both windows open. Without going into details, this is a major problem for me as I have to re-navigate inside dropbox to get back and forth to the 2 folders. Has anyone run into this? Thanks ahead of time.

Option to add a link to a file on the Android mobile app home screen
I have text files on Dropbox that I'd like to easily open on my Android device. Excel will allow me to save a spreadsheet to my homescreen, but my text editor will not create a link for a text file. Please allow us to put links to any file on the Home Screen. Thank You.
Offline files not downloading. They show a yellow triangle and a message "failed to download".
The company I work for uses Dropbox. There is a shared folder with several members. I’m trying to save the folder’s files for offline access on my tablet. At first this worked normally, and whenever I connected to Wi‑Fi they would sync immediately. However, for the past few days I’ve been encountering the following problem: a yellow triangle appears on the right side, and the app shows a notification saying “Failed to download offline files. Check your connection,” even though I am properly connected to the Internet. Then, as soon as I refresh, the files disappear and the folder shows up either empty or with only some of the files—which, oddly enough, do download successfully. The strange thing is that this only happens with certain files, which of course worked fine before. I should also mention that the problem is temporarily solved if I completely uninstall the app and set everything up again, but it reappears after a few days. I’ve searched all the forums and haven’t found an answer… Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance.
Photos don't load on mobile app (android) or desktop (windows)
This has been going on for a while. The photos are there - they are visible in grid - but if I try to view them, Dropbox stalls, apparently trying to load all the photos in the folder. If I choose OPEN WITH for any individual photo, Dropbox will load with any of a number of applications offered. But that means I can only view one photo at a time and cannot scroll through all photos in the folder. Viewing any photo individually in this way does not mean that it will be visible in dropbox afterwards. Making them viewable offline doesn't make any difference.
Can't open audio files on the Dropbox mobile app on iOS
I know there’s stuff going back a decade about how Dropbox needs third party apps to play audio files, but I’ve never had a problem until today. I’ve been using it for years on my iPhone to play MP3 and WAV files. It stopped working today and I can’t figure out why. I just get a message that says it can’t load the file. Any idea what may have changed?
