selective sync on ipad?
Is this possible? I know how to selectively sync on my computer, but I can't figure out how to do so on my ipad. HELP!

Old thread but I'm also going to point out that despite not using storage on the iPad, tablets are typically used by everyone in a given household. In my case, I'd prefer that my work-related files, my banking info and other personal data not be available to all users. There's always the off-chance that they might delete one of them or that there may be some information in one of the files that I want kept private. Selective sync isn't just useful for storage issues. I just upgraded today to Dropbox Pro and I'm deeply disappointed that this feature doesn't exist for iOS. I'm going to have to remove the app from my family iPad until the feature is available.
