Obviously Dropbox has no intention of reverting back to when they had a real useable sync solution. Not sure which genius decided the core feature i started using this product over a decade ago was no longer needed, but their decision is clear. I cancelled my subscription and found another working solution. Goodbye…

It can't be that hard to implement, because IT USED TO WORK THIS WAY. It's not like we're asking for a new feature, just fix what you broke. Let me use my files offline with the program of my choice, like it used to be. No sure whose bright idea it was to change this, but it's the most idiotic idea any company ever had...…

Exporting them is not so bad now that I know how, but then I see no point for "offline" files that are not…

For example if I select a mp3 file, the applications I can select to open the file with do not include the audiobook player application which is my preferred player. This is a comon problem with many file types,…

Before the update the offline files were accessible in the file system. My audio book player found them so I could listen to them. The audio player support in the dropbox app is abysmal, so no i was not playing them through the dropbox application. You dont support this? Can you explain what "offline" files means then? Is…
