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!

Another bump.

I am a scientist and I travel a lot-- constantly need to use different documents and presentations. Bought iPad Pro with the hope that I could use Dropbox to sync files. Essentially the plan was to have the new iPad replace my computer while traveling. Guess I should've done my homework, since Dropbox was the link.

I have to say, I'll probably just switch to oneDrive instead of Dropbox Pro-- a real pain because everything is already on Dropbox-- but I just can't see why entire folders can't be made to keep offline. 

Really disappointing, guys! Otherwise would have been a great product.
