Hey SemantixSound, thanks for reaching out to us.
We do have this thread, where other users have expressed an interest in having a repeat button in the mobile app.
Would that be something that interests you, or are you referring to the website?
Let us know and we'll take it from there, cheers!

I believe it would be amazing handy in the app. Sometimes while I’m driving in the car, I just want to listen to one song over and over again even just to learn it on the way to her gig. Even though it is off-line and download it to my phone, I still have to continue to press play or ask Siri to play it again. A repeat function would be super crazy helpful.
SemantixSound For sure. But especially considering Dropbox is a filesharing service specifically oriented towards team sharing, complete with an option for leaving feedback, since people like you and I are specifically delivering audio to a team/client, and in my case as a (primarily) video game composer, I'm more often than not writing audio that is meant to be looped seamlessly.
Here's an example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/22luvtilnp02zg8/BB_Conversation_Foreboding_44_105bpm.wav?dl=0Without a repeat button, the loop is abrupt and jarring. I've written literally hundreds of assets for various projects that are all meant to be looped, and sharing them with the sorry excuse for an audio player that is native to the dropbox site has finally annoyed me to the point where I'm ready to change file sharing providers.
It irks me to no end that after years of asking, the Dropbox team has not implemented this request. What will it take, Dropbox? I'm in several composer forums/groups on various sites, do I need to start a petition? What exactly is the hang-up? Even if your devs are coding the backend from scratch, adding a repeat button to the track is something that even a kid with no programming knowledge and a wordpress template can manage, so why are we still begging? I highly doubt they're incapable, it just seems like the request is being ignored.
