Question or Issue
We use Dropbox for our choir to store backing tracks and music scores. When we open an audio file, it plays automatically. Is there a way to stop the auto play. We need to use this on our phone for when we sing outdoors or in aged care facilities as we don't have room for a computer.
I have tried turning the loop function off, but it is off on all files already. I don't want to have to use a desktop version. I just want the ability to use the app but to be able to turn off auto play in the settings. I can see that someone else had this issue 7 years ago and it looks like it has still not been fixed. Can I please vote for an auto play off button, as an update?

Hey there Hotel at Home welcome to the community!
There isn’t currently a way to turn off autoplay for audio files in the Dropbox iOS app. Audio files begin playing as soon as the preview opens, and there’s no setting to change this. I would encourage you to start a new thread in the Ideas forum, this is a place where Dropbox customers can request new features or improvements to existing ones.
