IOS Dropbox offline file need re-download if access from the Files app?
Hi,
I have a dropbox folder contain many pdf files set to 'available offline ' on my ipad. However, whenever I try to access these pdfs using the IOS Files app, it seems I will need to re-download the pdf files so that I can open with other third party apps. I suppose I already have a offline copy of these files in the dropbox and why should I need to re-download them? Is there anyway to direct open a pdf using third party apps (not adobe reader) in the dropbox app?

Apple devices are set up in such a way that sharing between apps is almost impossible. If you want them locally on the Files app you need to download them in to that using the files app I'm afraid
