Dropbox display on Mobile differs significantly from PC display.

When I enter the same web url in a broser on a PC and a mobile I get significantly different displays. The PC is 100% OK. The mobile display asks you EVERY TIME if you want to get the Dropbox app (even if you already are having it) or if you want to proceed to the url address.

I am asking Dropbox to please proceed directly to the url address.

    Hey Trulsf! Thanks for your feedback here.

     

    Out of curiosity, are you accessing the Dropbox website via your browser on an Android or iOS device?

     

    If you’re on iOS, you should be able to select the "Request desktop website” option, after tapping on "Aa" in the URL.

     

    Hope that helps.

      Actually I am on Android. My version is 12.0.0.

      It is quite annoying that Dropbox is asking you to install the Dropbox app every time you access the web pages even if the app is installed.
