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 ...
- Hi there
I bring good news. Making folders available offline is now possible on iOS :) - OK solved. IPAD needed a restart to make this function visible.

Dropbox StaffHey 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!
Hello JaneA
Sorry new in forums like this if i make some mistake :)
Have the problem that there are more than 30'000 File in my folder "Handbooks".
Was very surprised and was going through the Handbooks and found one for a LG Smart TV that has more than 30'000 Files.
I have cleaned up my structures and i do not want to move this Folder to another place, but setting the root-folder
as offline available, the whole structure is marked as unsuccessful. Is there any way to exclude just this folder
for the using offline ?

Hey AEB,
Thanks for getting in touch on the Dropbox Community!
Please keep in mind that, because of the offline folder limitations listed here, a folder can't be saved for offline use it contains more than 10,000 files.
The best way to keep your folders available offline would be to break them into smaller chunks and have each individual folder available.
Hope this is helps you resolve this issue!

Hello JaneA
Thanks for your answer.
Because this is just one HTML-Handbook i cannot break it into subfolders
without to make it unreadable, so i decided to not make it available offline.
But can you explain the limit of 10'000 more exactly.
Does this belong to the whole structure (including the content of subfolders)
or is it the limit of one layer (means it is the limit of entries in one folder, so i can
make a mainfolder containing 5 subfolders with each containing 10'000 files).
Warm regards
Albert
