You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
My ability to use iOS 9 multitasking would be (nearly) complete if Dropbox joined the many apps that support it. For instance, being able to look at a dropbox document on one side while taking notes ...
Is iOS multitasking going to be supported in the iPad app soon? Particularly for the iPad Pro? It's greatly needed by me. I often refer to documents in Dropbox while I'm working in other applications.
+1 for split screen support asap
I am astoryboard artist and I just discovered I can't draw on Sketchbook Pro and have my Dropbox stored reference open on the side. I had to save the images into Photos. Waste of space, waste of time! This prompted me to write this post, because it is disappointing. Dropbox is normally quite well integrated with most functions in the iPad. It is really important that Dropbox support this feature soon, I noticed Google Drive supports it. I have been hearing a lot of my clients are happier with Google Drive. I pay for Dropbox but I will only use one Drive service: the one that does what I need. Dropbox, you'd better shape up if you want to keep your customers!
I am a Dropbox pro customer and really need Dropbox split screen support for the IPad Pro. Dropbox has an amazing featureset but this lack of splitscreen/multitasking support is now a major limitation and is causing significant inconvenience.
Progress on this would be really appreciated, thank you.
I doubt anyone is even listening. Like shouting in a cave. Hey Dropbox, how about split view view view view.....
Yes, I am still waiting on acknowledgment of whether or not split view specifically is coming. I was making the point that Dropbox does seem to confirm future features here in this forum, using that thread about iPad Pro optimization as an example.

Dropbox doesn't discuss future features or offer timelines for its upcoming features I am afraid.
That doesn't completely seem to be the case here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203636663-Dropbox-client-for-iPad-Pro
In any case, hopefully it's coming soon.

Bruce is hardly going into any depth about any future features in that topic...
Not in depth, no, but he does acknowledge the feature is coming in the future.

Which thread are you reading? All Bruce says about split view functionality is this:
Currently we don't have support for the split view functionality, but I'll be sure the pass along the feedback and feature request.
The rest of that thread is about the app scaling specifically supporting the iPad Pro resolution - this is not the same as split view support, the two are completely separate features.
