Hi, Is it possible now, or in the near future to mark an entire folder + subfolders as favorite, and so synching new added files too ?
I want to make my image portfolio offline accessible on my Ap...
Perhaps I'm the only one using the Offline files function but I'm surprised that one has received much attention over the years.
I use this function a lot (on the iOS app) and would like if it could reflect the folder structure of the cloud-based storage.
I often refer to files I have made available for offline use, for instance because I am travelling internationally and don't have access to wifi. This is difficult to do in a user-friendly way in a very very long list of files.
A normal file browser type of interface would be the best. With larger phone screens this should be possible to fit in.
If Dropbox could also simplify the "make available offline" function, it would be ahead of the iCloud Drive which really doesn't let users save files for offline use in a simple way. For instance a long press on a file or folder could bring up a simple menu with save for offline use, in addition to things like move or copy.
Thanks for considering
I can't image this would be the most difficult feature to implement.
I use both Dropbox and Sugar Sync since each has its advantage. I have both clouds synced via cloudhq.net.
SugarSync allows offline FOLDERS on iPad. Today I tried to do this with Dropbox but it only allows individuals files to be selected for offline use and NOT Folders unless I am missing something. It would look like a mess if I had hundreds of individual files syncing offline and not organized neatly in folders
You can access all of your Dropbox files by syncing cloud to cloud via cloudhg.net to SugarSync then designating an entire FOLDER in SugarSync to be available offline.
SugarSync is tricky when you have multiple devices syncing to one SugarSync account. You would only choose ONE device to sync via cloudhq and NOT your entire SugarSync cloud.

As I said on the other thread... it is coming! Look up Project Infinity. However, we dont know yet who will be able to use it (Pro/Business etc.) or when
There's a rather good app, PDFExpert, that will link to multiple file sources (including Dropbox) and allow All Files of ALL types to be up/downloaded for offline use with Open In...
Been using it for years as the solution to lack of Dropbox (and other storage source's/apps) full-offline functionality.
n.b. PDFExpert has a full multi-way sync, whole sozrce/folders/files, so updates on multiple ios devices are not an issue either. Think of it as an interface to all your cloud & home storage - which has nothing to do with highlighting pdfs (its orginal function).
BTW I don't work for them, just sharing a solution that works for me and has proven a real tme-saver.
Thank you for the replies and the suggestions. I have begun using Mega which has a easy to use offline function and offers a lot more space. I'll still be using Dropbox but not very often.
I also need to have Folders available Offline. Please put at the top of your To Do list DropBox.
Otherwise love Dropbox.Thank You!
