    Hey Christian! Thanks for the screenshots. Before reinstalling the Dropbox app on your Android device, did you clear the Dropbox app’s cache (via the app settings)? I’d like to see if that makes any difference.

      Yes, I did that.

      The screenshots were taken 1 (!) day after the complete deleteing + reinstall on both iOS and Android devices.

        So just to clarify here, are you referring to the difference in the total amount of GB you notice or to how fast the cache is increased on Android Christian A.8?  

         

        As for your offline files, have you marked the exact same files to be available offline across all of your devices?
