Hi,

I have the same kind of problem as jbright3,

I have a dropbox payed personnel account with less than 1To on my computers,

Inside this there is all my professionnal data, and a 8Go folder for my child, who has a specific login account on the computers,

I just bought her an iPad, I thought I could make selective sync with it,

If I enter my own dropbox identifyer in the iPad, she can see all my pro data, and if she looses it at her college, I just dont want to imagine the consequences for me...

If I create a free dropbox account for her on her iPad, and share the 8Go fodler she has with the computers, it cannot work because free account is limited to 2Go,

so what would be the right solution ?

on a mobile computer I would have set selective sync on dropbox,

but with the iPad I dont find how to,

thanks
