How can I loop certain video files but not loop others on iOS?

Device

Question or Issue
Hello. I like to loop certain video files but not loop others and have the settings save to that specific file. Is this not possible? I can play a file on loop, but if I change another file to NOT loop, then it changes the file I had set to loop, off. I'm not sure if there's a problem or if this is a limitation of the software?

    Thank you, Jay. I guess I thought that since there was a loop for “all files”, that Dropbox would remember the settings. Thanks for setting me straight.

    Hi Wanda C.1, thanks for messaging the Community!

    Currently, there isn't an option to set a tag to allow certain files to have loop enabled by default.

    As you've discovered, having one file looped, then disabling it on the next file will also disable the loop in general for all files. 

    We appreciate the feedback on this matter and we take all comments into consideration when improving the Dropbox site and services.
