Selective Sync on iPad ?

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to use the selective sync feature, on an iPad ?

I can't find it, seems to only be available on my MacBook, not iPad.

I need to be able to hide a folder from the iPad, and not simply by keeping it offline, where the folder is still visible.

I need to hide the folder on the iPad.

Any help appreciated,

Cheers, Superoo

Hello from me as well, @Superoo!

No, I’m afraid that this isn’t possible at the moment. The mobile app is designed so that it shows exactly the same files/folders as the ones you see on your web account.

Thank You Rich.

So to confirm, there’s no real way to hide a Dropbox folder on a mobile device ?

No. Mobile devices don't sync your files the same way the desktop clients do, so there's no need for Selective Sync. The mobile clients don't have all of your files stored locally like the desktops do. They only show you a list of the files in your account and allow you to upload or download files as needed.

There's no way to do that.
