Listen to music via dropbox
I placed my music in dropbox. If I want to listen directly using dropbox, I can listen only to one song at a time I had to select an other song in a folder to listen again. Is there a possibility to ...
Did you ever solve this issue? With only playing one song at a time?
There is no solution for this in Dropbox because it's not a media player. Find a media player application that has Dropbox functionality built-in to it.
This is a terrible response.
People, many, are using dropbox to listen to music. It's a far better solution that iTunes. This dismissive response shows a lack of fundamental marketing intelligence.
- Your customers want playlists and have been asking for years.
- They ARE using your app to listen to music. You can pretend or insist they are not, but they are.
(My primary reason for getting a paid account was that my LARGE music files made me grow beyond the basic account size. Had I not used you for music and audio I'd still be a free user.) - There are other (bad) solutions on the web to create playlists for dropbox because you have refused to. http://www.online-playlist.com
Why not embrace your customer feedback and make ANY solution to handle this.
It could be as simple as allowing users to make a text file with a specific extension that listed the files names they want in a list.
Or if you are feeling fancy, add an option under the multiple file select menu that said: "Play all" and supported a swipe right and left while playing to skip forward and back.
My point is STOP TELLING PEOPLE THEY DON"T WANT WHAT THEY WANT and please LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS.
Thanks,

I wholeheartedly agree. Dropbox needs to make offline files available or findable via other apps than Dropbox! Why are my files (backed up in Dropbox) in my PC visible via the Files Explorer, and the same files in my Mac visible via that Mac's explorer, but those SAME files are available offline in my phone only through the Dropbox app? This is what is blocking my Music Player apps from accessing and handling my music files offline in my phone.
This is a widely held need. How can we, the paying Dropbox customers (and the free ones too!), use Music Players in our android phones to play our Dropbox folders that are meant to be "available offline"?
