Switched from apple to Android and dropbox on apple allows you to play music while having the app in the background. Android doesn't and it's pretty inconvenient. I was reading a post where someone said that being able to play music in background on apple is unexpected behavior but that doesn't change the fact that it's possible on apple. Please make this a thing. Kinda regret coming to Android after being with apple for so long but the way life is playing out, I had too.

    Had the same issue when I switched to Android. Switched back to Apple again, not saying this was the only reason but definitely a huge reason.
