Make offline files visible in the android filesystem
I think you should make files stored offline on Android available in the file system.
As it is now, the dropbox files marked as 'available offline' are hidden from the rest of the operating sys...
As I noted above, Google Drive does not have this functionality either, but Onedrive seems to have it, though I haven't tested it. I have, however, tested it on the MEGA app. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer it by default. In fact, it's just like dropbox in that departament, but there is a MEGA sync app out there that can do the job for it.
I have found an app called "Autosync for Dropbox - Dropsync" but I haven't tested it yet.
EDIT: If Dropsync works like the MEGA sync app, then basically it boils down to what's cheaper, and so far it appears MEGA is a bit cheaper than dropbox. Might transition there, since it's also used to share files on the net more than dropbox is, and I could make use of those extra download limits.
EDIT2: Turns out Dropsync is almost identical to MEGA sync. Probaly made by the same chaps. Great to see. I'll use it until my dropbox subscribtion expires, then I'll decide if I stick to dropbox or go to MEGA. Maybe until then Dropbox will get their stuff together and I won't have to use a third party app to get the functionality dropbox previously offered.
