I am using Documents by Readdle until DropBox can get this sorted out. It works, but is unecessarily time consuming. I can have two-way selective synchronisation with a folder just like I can do with DropBox on all my other devices. I am synching all my travel related Drobbox folders with my iPhone and iPad in this way. 

However I cannot for the life of me understand why Dropbox is forcing me to use such a convoluted approach and have to use a third-party app to do what should logically be done inside of the Dropbox app. It is completely inconsistent.  They seem such a good company otherwise.

Please get to work on this Dropbox and make the app work  consistently with how Dropbox works on all my other computers. I don't want to be forced to cancel my DropbBox account and use iCloud!!
