Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Kay V., thanks for reaching out to us here!
Perhaps instead I can suggest taking this action through the Dropbox app instead. To move a file within the app, you can tap the "..." button next to the desired file and choose "Move" from the available options.
Also, if you need to quickly open a file in Dropbox that you have open via the Files app, you can press and hold the file to open the menu and choose "Open in Dropbox" so that you can take the relevant actions from there.
Let me know if this helps!
Hi Jay,
I prefer to use the Files app because I can open multiple windows, I can do a right click, it is good integrated with iOS. I need two windows because I want to see my documents when I rename them, also I need two windows because I can drag-n-drop and move my files with no efforts between two folders, the move option is not really a good solution for me.
I found an alternative solution, I’m using the PDFExpert app that integrates really well with Dropbox, it not the purpose of this app but I’m using it as a file manager and it is working good for my need, they allow me to use multiple windows and drag and drop, etc.
I would definitely prefer to use your app or the Files app instead of a third party app.
Thank you for your answers
