What does the box with the arrow down do on the app for Android devices?
When you select a file, what does the box with the arrow down do? Downloads/imports the file? If so, I can't find the location of the file on my phone.
Ah, I see now; thanks for the clarification atdoan11!
This button offlines your files, which means that it makes your files available for offline access and they're stored within the mobile app's cache.
On your Android device, you can access these files using a third-party file viewer. You can also preview these files in the Dropbox app and open them with any third-party app that supports its file type.
I hope this clears things up and I'm always around if you have any more questions!
