Since my original post I have discovered ES FILE EXPLORER available free on Play Store. The previous app I used only downloaded folders and was very easy to use. ES FILE EXPLORER does tons of things and so using it is a bit more complex. But it does the job.

You might like the android app "dropsync". I have been using the free version for years now and its fine. Very easy to use. Apparently the auto sync doesn't work perfectly anymore, but I only ever manually sync anyway. Terrific when heading to a meeting or court (I'm lawyer) for updating and then taking the enire relevant dropbox folder with me on my (old) samsung pad (in a subfolder I created on the external memory I named "aa dropbox download folders").
I'm not across how good or bad dropbox does this function now - it didn't download to android at all years ago when I started using dropsync.
I have used es file explorer in the past - but I didn't know it could do this! I use a more simple file manager now to call up and see the folder and files I have synced.
