Download a Folder to Android
This is SO frustrating. I have a real need to download entire folders to my android device. For some years I have used the FILE DOWNLOADER FOR DROPBOX from Play Store. I had to reset my android devic...
Very disappointing. It just doesn't make sense to me why we can't do this. For example, I read using Cool Reader. I used to be able to click an epub from my dropbox and it would open in Cool Reader, but now it doesn't (even if it might open Cool Reader). If I want to download my recent stash of books, I have to do it individually. Make available offline is useless to most of us. Are you working on this feature? There's competition out there now.
I see some more action on this topic. Just to update, on Android I still don't believe you can dowload an entire folder from Dropbox (someone tell me if this has changed). But....
1) You CAN download muliple files by selecting the files and going to the menu where you can 'Save To Device' all those files in one operation. Not sure when this appeared in Dropbox as a friend told me about it some 6 months ago.
2) I still use ES File Explorer for entire folders. It is a bit convoluited in terms of menu selections:
Go to top left menu and select CLOUD.
You wil see your Dropbox folder (you may need to provide Dropbox credentials if it is the first time)
Select the dropbox folder.
Long Press the folder(s) you want to download.
Select menu at bottom right and select COPY TO option
Then the rest is easy.
Thank you SO much, I have been tearing my hair out over this, downloaded ES File Explorer and followed your instructions! You are a STAR!!!
