"Make available offline" for multiple items
I have a request for your iOS app. From the right side ... menu items, I wish "Make available offline" was higher up the list. I use this often and I always have to screen to get to the item and click the item to make the file offline. It would be even better if "Make available offline" was one of the choices when I can…
Improved MP3 Player: Play Audio While Viewing Sheet Music or Documents
Hi there, (for iPad/iOS and general) It would be great if the MP3 player could be displayed side-by-side (for example, in a side panel), so that MP3 files can play in a built-in player while a PDF or other document is open at the same time within the Dropbox app. This would be extremely helpful for musicians and similar…

Support send to iPad/iPhone in preview markup
Normally when I take screenshots on my mac I can send the image to my iPad and markup the image on my iPad (without needing to save the image to my iPad). I find this really useful as I can markup my screenshots with Apple Pencil. It would be super handy if Dropbox screenshot markup supported this also.
View shared photos as a gallery
When I share a Dropbox link to a folder with photographs, the web link is not optimized for photo viewing on any platform (phone or desktop). The thumbnails are too small and compressed. And on a phone's web browser, users can swipe through individual photos, but it requires two separate taps, thereby quickly becoming…

File type selection does not include an "All" tag?? And why even if selecting "Documents" (mine is a .doc) it does NOT show it? Anybody could help, PLEASE?…
How to keep original photo file names when uploading from iPhone to Dropbox
How do I prevent Dropbox from renaming my uploaded photo file names to date/time? It is important information that I would like to preserve as I need to tie photo numbers I read on my phone to documents in real time.

I see a blank screen, when I use the "Upload photos" button on Android.
For the last two days I've been unable to upload photos through the Upload Photos option. Although I have lots of photos on my phone I just see a blank screen. Before yesterday I always saw all the photos I'd taken grouped by day so I could just click a day and upload all photos I took then. I can still upload them through…

Can I locate and install older versions for the mobile app?
I've been using Dropbox successfully for years on three devices including an old tablet running Android 5.1.1.

Feature request: Delayed camera upload It would be very helpful to have an option to delay automatic camera uploads.

How to reset my camera uploads on iOS? Dropbox will only re-add newer photos.
Hi! I need to force the iOS app to re-upload all the photos in my Camera Roll/iCloud Photos. I set it up so it uploads everything, not just new photos, but it will only upload new items. I believe it recognizes older pics as "already uploaded" and I don't know how to reset this. I have already re-installed the app, deleted…
