iOS: Paper mobile app icon in dark mode.
Hi Please offer a dark mode iOS home screen icon for Dropbox Paper (web link saved to desktop). I attached a screenshot with my remaining overly white iOS icons.

Turn Auto Play off for audio Files
Please add a way to stop audio files from playing instantly, as soon as you open them. On the Dropbox app, using an iPhone, the minute you open the file it starts playing. If you have previously played that audio file and paused it half way through, you can't stop it from playing in time to take it back to the start. We use Dropbox for our choir and keep our backing tracks and sheet music together. During a performance we need to make sure all the files have been returned to the start and we can't have them ready to go to press play.

Save Offline Folder Link to Home Screen on iOS
I want to be able to go directly to a single offline folder directly by clicking on an icon on my Home Screen on iOS just like I can add (share) a URL from Safari to my Home Screen. One click on an icon on my Home Screen takes me directly into a specific folder in Dropbox folder.

Add "starred folders" option to “Save to Dropbox” menu on iOS.
I use Dropbox a lot, every single day at work. I have to upload plenty of photos from my phone (iOS). And every time, when I choose photos, than “Save to Dropbox”, and now I have to choose folder from the very beginning of structure….every time. (3 recent folders doesn’t help really well because every time I have to upload to a different folder). so, it will be great, I’ll make you a Monument if you add a least “starred” folder to the “Share menu” (for example: at the very top “Starred folders”, than “Recent”, than the rest…) or, if it hard to perform with “starred” folders…let’s do another “marker”…any. just please give us an opportunity of quick access to chosen folders. Me and my crews will really appreciate it, now lots of guys who experience the same pain😆 Thank you in advance!

The Dropbox app should have a dedicated backups tab
I hope this message finds you well. I primarily utilize Dropbox to back up my laptop files and maintain a clone copy of my external drive. The service has been invaluable in ensuring the safety and accessibility of my data. I wanted to suggest a feature that I believe would greatly enhance the user experience: the addition of a dedicated tab within the Dropbox app to view backups. Currently, this functionality is only available through the web interface. Having direct access to my backups via the app would significantly improve convenience, allowing me to quickly verify and manage my files wherever I am. I believe this feature would be beneficial not only to me but also to many other users who rely on Dropbox for comprehensive file backups. Thank you for considering this suggestion. I appreciate the continuous improvements you make to Dropbox, and I look forward to seeing how the platform evolves. Best regards, Jesus E.

Need search feature for folders when saving files to Dropbox on iOS.
I select a file on my iPhone, then I select that I want to save it to Dropbox. I am not able to search for what folder I want to add the file to. I can create a new folder (not very useful) or I can scroll through my hundreds of folders and sub folders looking for the exact one I want. This is time consuming and n it very helpful. Why don’t we have a simple search feature for folders like any other app has. This is honestly the worst part of this app and close to a reason to find another cloud service.

Allow users to enable/disable visible file extensions on iOS.
Currently, there is no option to hide the “.mp4” extension from file names. It would be helpful if we could hide the file type as a simple setting.

Select audio track for MKV file in Dropbox App
I love Dropbox’s video preview - super helpful for watching MKV files without downloading them! Whereas previewing an MKV file in the web browser version of Dropbox has an Audio Track selection option (if your MKV file has multiple audio tracks, e.g. English audio, Japanese audio), the Dropbox App for iOS does not have this option. Can we please have that option in the Dropbox App for iOS?

Searching for files using their full file-path.
Dear team Searching for files (e.g. by name) on the iOS app is very quick and good. However, once found, it would be great if we could see the full filepath of that resulting folder or file (e.g. C:\Dropbox\.... ) so that it can be quickly found on my laptop or desktop machine. Can you add this feature please? (Under the iOS app, you can select 'Show in Folder' via the three dots next to the file, but this still doesn't give visability of the full path.) Thanks if you can help.
