Listen to music via dropbox
I placed my music in dropbox. If I want to listen directly using dropbox, I can listen only to one song at a time I had to select an other song in a folder to listen again. Is there a possibility to ...

Did you ever solve this issue? With only playing one song at a time?
There is no solution for this in Dropbox because it's not a media player. Find a media player application that has Dropbox functionality built-in to it.

This thread is like going to McDonald's and asking them to fix your car.

For an "experienced collaborator" that little gem was woefully unspecific and did not advance the argument by one iota. If you have something cogent to share, please give us the benefit of that vaunted "experience", or else hold your peace. Quips like that one are singularly unhelpful.
- Neil W.64 years agoHelpful | Level 6Why is that, exactly? In addition to sharing raw files, Dropbox already has a built-in audio player, a built-in image viewer, a built-in documents viewer and a built-in video player. In addition to viewing images individually it has the capability to create an entire image gallery from a folder of images - it is not a huge jump to assume a folder of audio could be played sequentially in the existing audio player. After all, thatâs essentially what a playlist is.
Applied to your scenario McDonalds is already selling all the car parts and advertising that it does vehicle repairs, so itâs not a silly or unreasonable request to say âyou have all the parts available and we know you will change a brake-pad, so why wonât you change a tyre as well?â
Also, Iâd generally expect a more helpful, and perhaps more adult response from an âExperienced Collaboratorâ. There may very well be technical challenges that mean this feature is not possible, and it would have been fine to relay those, but your response was facile, rude, dismissive and added zero context. As a developer looking in from the outside this should be relatively easy to implement and is therefore reasonable to request.
