Feature request - LAN/p2p Sync on iOS

Been revisiting Dropbox and subscribed to professional to give it a proper go

 

Maybe not a priority for dropbox currently (or consumer focus in general), but I’m missing p2p / LAN sync on iOS similar to Syncthing. Server sync works fine but p2p would be a lot faster in getting new files to show up on other devices, especially in situations where I can’t rely on a internet connection (crappy wifi) 

 

Since the Mac app already supports LAN sync I’d love to see this coming to the iOS clients next

    As it has been removed from desktop services I cannot see it coming to mobile devices unfortunately 😞
