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...

Hi everyone, due to recent updates made to Android systems, offline files can only be stored in a Cache folder. I am afraid that the only way to access your Dropbox files on your mobile device even when offline is to use the Dropbox App directly. This would be the intended functionality.
If you wish to access these files outside of the Dropbox App then you can always export your Dropbox files to your mobile device directly instead. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

If this were actually true then there wouldn't be third party applications that can do this. In good news for me, how you've handled this has convinced me to drop my $19.99/month subscription and roll my own personal NextCloud instance. So I guess thank you for convincing me to no longer work with Dropbox, thus saving me some money.
