Export folder of scattered files on Android to access from a third party app
Hello, I'm on Android, trying to access files from a third party app. I can't seem to find the files on the local device even when I have them marked as offline accessible. I see there's a way to export an individual file, but the large number of files I'm trying to have access to are spread through a bunch of folders and I need to keep the folder structure intact, so it's not feasible to manually download each file. Is there a way to get my Dropbox files into a folder that I can access with a third party app somehow? This seems like a pretty basic use case so I'm frustrated I can't seem to find a way to do it.
Can't add Dropbox as a place on a Microsoft Office app on Android tablet
Microsoft wont add Dropbox as a place I use dropbox on Desktop and Apple devices with a different account. It works fine with excel to save documents. For the last 6 months my android devices have worked great as well. However, recently, when trying to save an edited excel document that I’ve opened with dropbox on my android device, it does not give me the option to save the document to Dropbox folders once I’ve edited and click “save as”. After clicking “add a place” then Dropbox, and then signing in, it loads and takes me back to excel, yet it still doesn’t show up. No error message, just isn’t an option. Click add a place again, and can click dropbox as an option again, sign in, ect. It’s an endless loop. I have tried uninstalling both apps, disconnecting Microsoft and excel from the dropbox’s connected apps, other troubleshooting. nothing working so far. If you know a solution, please advise. thanks!
Unable to open available offline file on my Android.
Hi. I'm using the Android version of the Dropbox app. (ver. 450.2.2) I set the text file to "Available offline" and edit it offline. In certain circumstances, offline files cannot be opened. 1. Connect your Android device to the Internet and sync files. 2. Edit the text file marked "Available offline", save it, and synchronize it with the server. 3. Disconnect your Android device from the internet. 4. Tap the file you just synced. 5. I can't open a file and get the error message "Network error. Retry later." If you open a synced text file while your device is online, you can then open the text file even if your device is offline. If you sync a text file and then go offline without opening it online, you will not be able to open the text file. Please fix this behavior.
I can't edit Excel spreadsheets on my Dropbox mobile app (Android 13).
For the last 3-4 months I have not been able to edit, delete or add Dropbox entries (an Excel spreadsheet) on my Android phone app (Version 13). The app always asks me to sign into Microsoft. When I do I end up in Excel, not Dropbox, with not the Dropbox file. I am signed into my Dropbox account. I can see/read the spreadsheet. When I select the edit button I get sent to Microsoft Office. Ever since I started using Dropbox on my phone (many, many years) I have always been able to update my passwords on the Excel Dropbox spreadsheet. I can edit on my computer and the data will sync with my phone app. I used to be able to access the edit function on my phone, which would then sync to the Dropbox on my PC. Does anyone have any suggestions, as to what I am doing wrong? Thank you, in advance.
