Make folder available offline on iOS

I have been waiting very patiently for the ability to make folders available offline in the iOS app. It seems Android users have this function already. It has been asked for so many times going back ...

    OK solved. IPAD needed a restart to make this function visible.

      I want to make a folder offline available.

       

      I dont find this option, i only have
      - release (?) in german 'freigeben'

      - add

      - copy

      - move

      - folder options

       

      Its the same in my iphone and ipad. I'm using the latest german version on both devices.

        Hey Bruno B.16, 

         

        Thanks for reaching out on the Community! 

         

        Please keep in mind that saving offline folders saving for viewing on a mobile device is an available feature to Dropbox Plus, Dropbox Business, and Dropbox Enterprise customers currently and have the following limitations: 

         

        • The folder can't be saved for offline use if it contains more than 10,000 files or
        • The folder contains more than 10 GB.

        You can reference this resource for more details. Does any of the above apply to your case? 

         

        Please let me know in your reply! 

         
        Thanks, 
        JaneA
