Make offline files visible in the android filesystem
I think you should make files stored offline on Android available in the file system.
As it is now, the dropbox files marked as 'available offline' are hidden from the rest of the operating sys...
simpson b. Please share what apps you've found that have this functionality, I'd like to know my options.
I don't know what DB's policy on this is, some of the products that sync files also sync other cloud providers, like google, microsoft, mega, etc. Some are per-service and you can buy your own, some are one-size-fits-all. I don't want to advertise competition here. Especially since I am a paying customer of DB.
Just go to the Google store and type in "dropbox sync" and the results show 8 sync solutions from the top 12 or so results. I use the top rated one, I believe made by MetaCtrl. But I encourage you to look at the results as several apps out there work with dropbox and are way better. There's media players that work with remote media, password managers that use DB as a storage, there's decent backup apps.
Basically everything that we keep asking DB to do and won't. For example, the MetaCtrl software allows folder pairs and sync direction (as in, only sync this folder up and never down) to cut down on the risk of having 15 devices all have the same files and of one malfunctions or is tampered with they all crash. It's already implemented with camera roll sync in DB, camera roll is write only for DB so you can delete local images.
I know I'm giving you a roundabout answer to a point blank question but honestly there's so much to discover around DB that I feel everyone should at least look. Just read the description and look at the screenshots. It will be a well spent 10 minutes.
