selective sync on iPad/iPhone not available

[pckrullenbol]

I like the selective sync option, I’ve made a folder on dropbox.com named “no-sync” and that is not visible on the PC’s.

But this option is not available on iPad and iPhone. It is possible to add this?

It isnt needed because Dropbox doesnt sync to a mobile device - you download the files as you need them on mobile devices so it doesnt use space unless you actively open it 🙂

It's not about space, it about privacy, or the way many people want to use Dropbox.

You will need to give more detail about why you want it here.

I dont see how Privacy is an issue? The device has face ID / passcodes on etc. which lock it plus you can do the same to the iPad.

PLUS, remember Selective Sync does NOT stop a person seeing the files on a persons account. They can just open a web browser and navigate in and often will be logged straight in to a persons account. Any computer device with Dropbox on would do that and many mobiles the same.
