What if you have the new Ipad Air 13inch?

Do you mean the 13" MacBook Air? There is no iPad Air that is 13" (iPad Pro has a 12.9", but that works just like a regular iPad or iPhone).

 

There is an option to remove a file , but just afraid that if I use that option , it will remove the file from the Dropbox account.

Regardless of what platform you're on, if you remove a file while in the Dropbox app on mobile devices, the Dropbox folder on computers, or the Dropbox website, it will be removed across all other devices linked to your account as well. Anything you do within Dropbox takes place across your entire Dropbox account.

 

To everyone else in this thread, you can now save folders offline in iOS. I know it's still not the full syncing solution that many of you want, but it's something...
