Speed controls in the mobile app for audio and video files

Speed controls in the mobile app for audio and video files

The fact that I can easily play almost any audio or video file in my iOS is just another reason I've stayed with Dropbox over the past 10 years.

The new feature I'd love to see the ability to do a 2x or 4x speed on the audio/video inside the iOS app. 

This is available on the web interface.

Please oh please put it in the iOS app as well.

Life-changing for audiobooks, webinars, trainings, etc.

Dropbox should start implementing new good time saving features like this.

How is this not a feature. It’s been voted for 3 years. It’s super frustrating that you can only do speed control on desktop. Please update guys

Would love to have this feature as well.

 

The only workaround I found so far is to use the iOS version of VLC.

It can both download videos from Dropbox and even play them streaming from Dropbox itself as well.

 

The only downside to VLC is that playing from an offline download with speed control is solid, but playing from the network AND using speed control often times crashes.

 

Would love to see this natively in the Dropbox app.

Hello, i would like to suggest to put a choise between normal or 1,5x or 2x speed on audiofiles because it would save so much more time! PLEEEEEASE!

When would this feature be a part of the iOS app?
