Hey Aha99177 - thanks for joining the discussion here.
The mobile app on your iPad isn't syncing locally your files like the desktop app does, it only provides you a way to preview the files you've stored in Dropbox and download them to your device or export them to whichever 3rd party app you'd like.
Have you tried offlining the files you want or downloading/exporting them to your device?

The ability to make an entire folder available offline is only available to customers on Dropbox Plus, Family, Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans. The ability to make individual files available offline is available to all Dropbox users.
