Dear Dropbox team,

I use Dropbox extensively for my tax-administration. In this light: what I like about the webversion of Dropbox is that when you are previewing a document, you can press [left-cursor] or [right cursor] and Dropbox then shows you the previous or next document. Very handy to browse through your contents this way.

However, being on the road I don't have my PC with me 😉 and so using the iPad app of Dropbox I find myself in a limiting situation, because on the iOS app there is no functionality to swipe left and right to flick through my contents when I preview documents.

So my request is to add this feature to the iOS Dropbox app, so we can swipe left and right in Preview mode to flick through our documents in an easy way. 

Thank you!

I am a huge supporter for this feature-request! Many other apps already got this functionality, we do not want to change Dropbox to anything else so let's keep the app updated with functionalities, at least that other apps already have. Thanks!

I believe it would be great if you can swipe through the files inside the folder instead of having to go back to choose the next file. I use the app alot to share folders with mp3's in them. When i want to go to the next mp3 i wish i could just swipe or have skip button that will take me to the next mp3 file...but instead i have to go back and choose the next mp3.

Swipe to go to next or previous document will reduce a lot of work load for using app.

Yes please! Being unable to swipe to the next file in a folder is a real pain. I’m a band member who uses Dropbox to share our files for performance.
