Adding an external drive to iPad for “Make Available Offline” location

Can we get the ability to make an external hard drive the off-line location for Dropbox content in the iPad app?

Hi there RogueDog - thanks for posting on our Community!

 

I'm not quite sure what you'd like to achieve, could you elaborate a tad for me please?

 

For example, did you back up your external drive to Dropbox and you'd like the option to access it on your iPad device through the Dropbox mobile app and possibly make it available offline as well, or you had something else in mind?

 

If it's the latter, can you please describe with more details what you'd like to see implemented?

 

Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
