selective sync on ipad?
Is this possible? I know how to selectively sync on my computer, but I can't figure out how to do so on my ipad. HELP!
To make clear why the offline feature is useless, just consider this use case scenario:
- I have 10,000 photos on my dropbox cloud, sorted into about 800 subfolders in a geographical hierarchy four levels deep
- Of these, I want about 1000 photos stored locally on my iPad to work on offline, split across 100 folders at different levels of my main hierarchy
So when using the offline feature in the dropbox iOS app, In order to access say just ten photos in one of the subfolders, every time I wanted to access them , I would have to search through a thousand files looking for just those ten file names I wanted. That is impossible because I only know how to navigate my folder hierarchy to find the photos I want (in my case: world photos: USA: California: San Francisco), but could not possibly remember 10,000 photo filenames when they are all called something like P10004568.
