Automatically sync all files to an explorable folder on Android?
It would be immensely helpful to me to be able to automatically download every file to a folder on my Android phone when it syncs with my Dropbox account, the same way it does on my Windows PC. I can't seem to be able to find a way to do this automatically the way it works on desktop, and it's very frustrating. I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm using the free version of Dropbox. If this is a feature supported by a higher tier, I'll happily upgrade.

Hi Wnds, thanks for messaging the Community!
It is possible to mark all files and folders as available offline on a mobile device when you're on a paid plan using these steps.
Bear in mind, however, that this isn't the same feature as the Dropbox desktop application with a syncing folder, as the mobile app is primarily for previewing and editing individual files. These offline files are only visible in the Dropbox mobile app, and can't be accessed directly by other apps automatically.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
