Listen to music via dropbox
I placed my music in dropbox. If I want to listen directly using dropbox, I can listen only to one song at a time I had to select an other song in a folder to listen again. Is there a possibility to ...
Did you ever solve this issue? With only playing one song at a time?
There is no solution for this in Dropbox because it's not a media player. Find a media player application that has Dropbox functionality built-in to it.

I was at least hoping for a very very basic playlist feature by now to be honest.
Another reason for doing this is customers who deal with audio for a living can then use Dropbox for work. I've just come from a community discussion with Sync artists, many of whom want to use Dropbox, but have to turn to other services because of a lack of a basic playlist feature.- Walter

See you around the Community and thanks for the feedback!
These ideas are not related and are not interesting. Just let us access the shared folder from other apps of our choosing. That's it. No need for streaming, or implementing playback, or integration with some other services.
You know what I do right now? I connect my phone via USB cable to my PC, manually copy the musing files I want, then play them using the app of my choice. Why can't I do exact same thing by making a folder available offline in Dropbox? That's really all I want, super simple.
- Actually, you can listen the music from Dropbox now with this Alexa skill:
