Make offline files visible in the android filesystem
I think you should make files stored offline on Android available in the file system.
As it is now, the dropbox files marked as 'available offline' are hidden from the rest of the operating sys...

Hey dmpus, thanks for your post!
Files you make available offline should be stored in the Dropbox cache, but you can still export files to your device through the Dropbox mobile app.
You'll find the option to do that, if you tap the vertical ellipsis button next to each file.
And you can also long press to select multiple files, then tap the vertical ellipsis at the top right corner and select 'save to device'.
Let me know if you have any questions!

I searched in both phone internal folder structure as well as sdcard and could not find dropbox anywhere. Note, my phone is not rooted (if that matters).
Thanks again for your help!!

If you're trying to access the files through your phone's file manager/directly in the operating system, that's no longer possible. A change made about a year ago now has the files stored in a location that is not user accessible.
