Hi, no. You will still have internet access via your cellular network. You would still be able to view or play all files you placed into dropbox. What Grant is saying is, if you want something to be stored exclusively on your phone, in the case you have no internet access at all, you need to save those specific files to favorites. Once in favorites, its saved to the drive on your phone.
