I only need one folder to be visible when accessing my mobile app.

I only need one folder to be visible when accessing my mobile app.

Can’t figure out how to do this:
I’d like *just ONE* specific folder from my Dropbox acct to be accessible on iPhone, however I don’t need the folder’s contents to physically be stored on iPhone…. Just Accessible. How would this be possible? Thanks!

The mobile apps don't work like that. They show you all of the content in your account. You can select to have a file or folder stored for offline access, but all content in the account will be visible. You can't set it to only show one folder.
