Dropbox integration no longer works – Filer Review

Edit: As of today, Dropbox integration no longer works for this; apparently they updated their API so a lot of third-party integration is breaking. Hoping we can get a fix; this app is still useful in that it provides an easy way to download files, but not having Dropbox integration makes this usefulness limited as you can't upload anything from the phone. (Oh, and my comments below about the music player no longer apply, as this got a music player built into it at some point.) Original review: One of the annoyances of the iPhone was not being able to download files—having to download them to a desktop/laptop and then transfer them to the phone for storage was a pain. But this app makes it so easy to download and store files. Dropbox integration works great, so you can even download something you come across on your phone and then upload it so you can access it on another computer without having to bring a cable in the interim. I was waiting to buy this until it updated for the iPhone 5, and now that it has I finally decided to. The only thing that would make it better would be a better built-in music player (right now you have to transfer to a 3rd party app or use "quick look"). Ideally you'd be able to transfer it to your iTunes library on the device, but Apple doesn't seem to want to support that; it's hardly something the dev can fix. A built-in music player would be a nice workaround for small audio files though. Otherwise it's a great, solid app.
