Audio Player Repeat Option
As a film and TV composer, are use dropbox exclusively for sharing and listening to files. It would be super amazingly handy if the player had a repeat button. Often times I want to listen to a certa...
Hey SemantixSound, thanks for reaching out to us.
We do have this thread, where other users have expressed an interest in having a repeat button in the mobile app.
Would that be something that interests you, or are you referring to the website?
Let us know and we'll take it from there, cheers!
I use Dropbox to learn Choir songs so bead to repeat on a loop. Could this button be added?

Dropbox StaffHi Carolivessinging, thanks for joining us here!
Although we don't have such an option right now, you can have a look at the thread I mention in my first post in case that echoes your request.
Check it out, and let me know if it helps. Cheers!
Hi, I'd like to throw this suggestion a +1. I mentioned it directly to support about a year ago, I was unaware of the message board here.
To clarify, while I'm all for a looping feature in the mobile version also, I'm mostly concerned with the desktop web browser for now. Like the OP, I too am a (video game) composer and have been a dropbox customer for over a decade, and such a feature would greatly help me. I share my tracks with my team via dropbox almost daily and because they are meant to be looped, the lack of a fundamental "loop audio" button makes dropbox a less-than-ideal method of sharing the audio.
Knowing the little about programming and web design I do, this should be an extremely easy fix. If dropbox has a built-in share feature so that the tracks can be streamed with the visual waveform on the website, I hope you can see the benefit in having the dev team whip up a "loop audio" feature. It's a very simple request and it would absolutely push the file-sharing experience over the top for us audio folks.
Thanks for the consideration, cheers.Honestly I'm just embarrassed for the Dropbox dev team at this point.
It's 2021, and you still have yet to add a Repeat button to the desktop browser audio player.
I've been paying for dropbox for years now and I'm ready to leave over this continuously ignored request. This is not a complicated feature, and after several support email suggestions over the years and seeing this post ignored here on the forums, I'm ready to switch to another service that isn't going to just blow off the request indefinitely.
