How to clear the Dropbox mobile app cache on iPhone/iPad?

Using an iPhone 5C running iOS 9.1 and Dropbox 4.0.4. The iOS Dropbox app itself is only 55.8 MB in size, however my iPhone is reporting that Dropbox is using a total of 300+ MB in Documents and Data...

    Just noticed today that there's a new button in Dropbox settings saying Clear cache. So hopefully the problem is now resolved :-)

I actually fixed this issue...by just buying a 128gb iPhone 6s :)

Ok, the issue is still there, it just doesn't concern me as much as before when every single used MB on my phone counted. I've got a lot more breathing room now. I'll still "clear the cache" by uninstalling and reinstalling occasionally, but now I'll likely do it once a month instead of 3-4 times a week.
