    Hey MikeA01730, thanks for your cooperation, I’m just updating the thread here with the latest update from our team specialists, so as to have it for future reference. 
     
    When Offlining files, you may keep in mind that a yellow icon will appear next to them if they’ve been updated in the meantime, as Norah mentioned above. Once you click on this, it will then update the file to the most recent version and make the latest version available offline. In the event that the device isn’t connected to wifi/cellular data, you’ll need to wait until you have internet connectivity to download and view these files.
     
    I would suggest making sure that your offline files are up to date when you plan on using the offline files feature.
     
    Once again, thanks again for checking in with us on the Dropbox Forum & don’t hesitate to post away at any time in case you have further questions or you’d like to share your thoughts in the future. Take care!

Thanks for pinging me back here again Terry P., you should be able to see that once you click on the Account tab đŸ‘€ on the bottom-right hand corner on your iPad→:gear: Gear icon (top- left) & you scroll a bit further down. Please let me know how you get on with this suggestion once you get a chance or if you have any follow-up questions!

Thanks Jane, got it.

IMO that Settings window should fill the screen in either landscape or portrait mode, and if that still doesn’t include all content it should add a clearly visible indication or scroll bar.
