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.

Hi kindofsudden - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
I just gave it a go on my Android device and I got the same results as you. Can you clarify when is the last time you remember this (I.e. multiple Android windows or activities) working for you?
In the meantime, have you considered using a web browser instead?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
Thanks for the reply. I feel like it's been a few months ago. I'd hate to have to do this through a browser as it would disrupt my workflow.

Can you walk me through your exact workflow and clarify what you'd like to achieve in case we can think of a walk-around kindofsudden?
