What you want to do isn't possible. iOS doesn't have a usable file system with folders, etc. Apple has restrictions in place to prevent that.

You can mark files in Dropbox as available offline, so you have access to them even when you're not conencted to the Internet, or you can export files to other applications, but it's not possible to export files to a folder on the iPad.

Hey there @Dropthebox2,

If you want to have your files and folders locally stored on your computer, you can either install the desktop app which will create a Dropbox folder with your content or manually download them from the website.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Simply not true for newer Ipads. Other apps already allow the transfer of files between server and the IOS/iPadOS file system. Get facts straight and update your app to support this feature.
