I'm looking for an Android app that would work like DropBox's native app, BUT would allow me to download a whole folder instead of only individual files.
Requirements:
You can give Folder Downloader for Dropbox a shot. I have used it once but have never needed it again.
Simply sign into your Dropbox account, long press on the folder you wish to download and either tap and hold on a folder and select Download folder to or tap the button at the bottom that says Download all to which downloads all the files and folders in the folder you are currently browsing (so for example if you are on the base folder, it will download everything in your Dropbox account)
Features
Download folder to)Screenshots of a test run I did (click images for larger variants):
I tapped and held on the folder "Test folder" which has two more folders in it, called "Test folder 2" and "Test folder 3". Then I selected my SD card for the app to download to:
And here you can see that the app successfully downloaded all folders recursively (although I didn't test with files, it will recursively download those as well):
I used ES File Explorer. I added the Dropbox as a Cloud source, then I could select multiple items (folders or files), and either Copy or Move the items to another folder, whether it's on another Cloud, a computer on my LAN, or onto the local device/SD card.
