How to clear the Dropbox mobile app cache on iPhone/iPad?
Using an iPhone 5C running iOS 9.1 and Dropbox 4.0.4. The iOS Dropbox app itself is only 55.8 MB in size, however my iPhone is reporting that Dropbox is using a total of 300+ MB in Documents and Data...

Just noticed today that there's a new button in Dropbox settings saying Clear cache. So hopefully the problem is now resolved :-)

Well, the MS OneDrive idea didn't work. I was defeated in my attempts to stop my little Windows 10 tablet from having files copied (against my wishes) from the cloud account onto my tablet's drive. And after 2 weeks of searching for solutions, I just have to move on. I've got a bunch of MOOC classes that I'm wrestling with installing software on the tablet, and there's neither the space on the tablet nor the time to mess with OneDrive. So as far as dropbox is concerned, I will just use it via the web and not have a dropbox app on the iphone. And as far as MS OneDrive, I just can't keep anything = nothing! on the cloud drive, because it is immediately copied over to the tablet. This is silly. Oh well...
