Can I silence incoming calls while playing audio on Android phone?

Hi, I would like to silence incoming calls and any other events which might interrupt the playing of audio files on the android Dropbox app. Is there a way to do that? My current work-around is to use a different audio player, which I can do, but it's more convenient to use the Dropbox app because it's very easy to save files for offline use. With other apps I need to first transfer the files from my PC to my phone using Dropsync, then open the music player and find the folder.

    Dropbox has no such feature. It's not a full-featured audio player. It has the ability to play an audio file in your account, but it doesn't have the typical features that you would find in an actual audio player app.
