Hi Mac C., happy Tuesday! 

 

In order to be able to open your content on your iPad when offline, you'd need to make them accessible first, following these steps.

 

As for your computer, is the content you're trying to open available online or offline too? 

 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there.

My Dropbox content is available online AND offline on my computer. I have no issues with that. My only issue has been how to access selected Dropbox folders of files on my iPad and iPhone.  I followed the instructions you sent... I made sure the 2 folders I want to access on my mobile devices are set to be available OFFLINE. However, I still cannot find these folders when I open Pages or Numbers on my mobile devices. How do I find them when OFFLINE?
