Is there software to stream songs from a specific folder (and subfolders) in the Dropbox mobile app?

I have quite a music collection saved on Dropbox in terms of files. Used to sync all offline to my phone but the library got too big to import all to my phones storage, ran out REAL quick.

Is there a third party app with some library display functions showing the library of files I have in some specific dropbox folder (+subfolders) that I can stream from on the go, assuming I have some data connection ofc.

Simpely put;

  • dropbox contains files (that will not expanded anytime soon)
  • third party app reads those files and indexes them accordingly
  • playing from third party app streams the song on device

I'm aware of latency issues or lack of offline access but that's not a requirement.

Thanks in advance! Feel feel to ask questions if clarity is required.

    Hey STRINIX - thanks for posting on our Community and happy Friday!

    I'm afraid I don't have anything to suggest, but I'll leave this thread open for other users to jump in and offer their insights on this.

    In the meantime, could you clarify your device's exact OS for us?

    Thanks!
