Thanks, as DB on iPad newbie I didn’t know this feature. Will give it a try. But it won’t allow me to have a folder structure on my iPad, will it?

If you're a paid user you can mark an entire folder as available offline.

 

The ability to make an entire folder available offline is only available to customers on Dropbox Plus, Family, Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans. The ability to make individual files available offline is available to all Dropbox users.
