Can I use Dropbox as a music player to play music in my account one after the other?
How can I get songs to play one after the other on my Dropbox in my iPhone 6?
Hi there!
When you play an audio file in our app, you should be able to minimize the app and still hear playback. However, the Dropbox app is not designed to be a fully-featured media player, so if youâre playing items from a folder of audio files, it will not progress automatically to the next file. Playback will also stop if the app is open and you load a different file or exit from the playback screen.
When the app is open, you can use the scrubber to fast forward or rewind. From the lock screen on your device, you can use the controls in the Control Center to fast forward and rewind the item you are playing. You wonât be able to skip to the next audio item here.
I hope that explains things!
i installed vlc where you can download files directly from your dropbox to it. then put all the songs into a single folder and you have a proper player.
cheers,
christopher

can it replay music constantly?
on my ipod the scrubbing thing doesn't even work, nor the ff or rewind buttons. the only thing that works is pause/play and if the song ends, i can push play and it will repeat. very frustrating
