Features

• Download files or folders individually.
• Upload files individually, including from an SD card.
• Delete and rename files and folders.
• Create folders.
• Search all of Dropbox or just the currently viewed folder, with up to 100 results.
• Create temporary (4-hour) links to files.
• Choose a custom download folder location on your device.
• Preview an image in its listing context menu (formats supported are jpg/jpeg/png/tiff/tif/gif/webp/ppm/bmp).

Issues & Limitations

• No sorting of files or folders in the list view, however there is search functionality to locate files quickly.
• If downloading a file and uploading at the same time, progress bars at bottom of screen may not render properly. Upload progress bar sometimes stays visible after transfer completed; app restart will allow for continued uploading.

Navigation

• Tap to download files or open folders, press-and-hold to open context menu. This can be switched around in Settings.
• To search, swipe right-to-left in any folder list view. There's an option to only search within the current folder (to include subfolders).
• To upload, choose 'Upload' from the pull-down menu and select the local file. It'll be saved in the currently viewed Dropbox folder.
• To refresh a folder listing, swipe back and then reselect the folder, or if in the Home folder, choose 'Refresh' from the pull-down menu.
• When renaming a file or folder, Enter key will send request.
• When creating a 4-hour link to a file, the URL will be copied to the clipboard.
• If a custom download folder location is unavailable when attempting a download, the app will revert to using the default Downloads folder until the relevent setting is changed again.
• Upload button on app cover will upload a file to the Dropbox main folder.

Rationale

• Good to have a native app with an interface consistent with Ambience.
• Less dependence on Android App Support.
