Downloading all dropbox files on ipad

To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. I have an iPad Pro 9. From iCloud in files it works well, and from the Dropbox app also ok, the problem is from Dropbox on the files app.

The app shows all the contents but when trying to download a file it keeps on waiting to download and never starts. Posted on Oct 14, AM. I simply removed the dropbox "location" from my files app, and reinserted it, now it works perfectly. Hope this solves it for you too. Posted on Nov 7, AM. Page content loaded.

As far as I see, it saves only files marked as "Favorite". Adding everything manually does not seem convenient Not really. It isn't designed to store everything, but does try to cache files you have downloaded and save them as long as the iOS device doesn't run low on space and tell apps to throw away files that can be re-downloaded. Keeping more than a Gigabyte of free space on the filesystem will keep iOS from purging the files dropbox has downloaded.

That's not possible with the Dropbox app on iOS. A good alternative would be GoodReader which allows to sync Dropbox folders. I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded!

Pretty cool. This was a breeze. Thank you! Gavin Whitham. PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location. Jim Griffin. I have tens of thousands of pictures If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me.

PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers. I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

Open GoodReader on iPad and expand the section in the bottom right of the main screen which says "Connect to Servers" Tap "Add" Tap "Dropbox" Enter your details and click add Now tap the server you just added I called it "Dropbox" In the bottom right hand corner of the popover that just came up is a button saying upload.

Tap it. Select the files you want to upload and tap "Upload" You will only need to do steps the second time. Improve this answer. Tom H Tom H 3 3 silver badges 6 6 bronze badges. Thanks, that's interesting. I don't have anything in my 'My Documents' folder in Goodreader, but I'll have a go at seeing how I would get stuff into there.

You can get it in via a plethora of different means: iTunes file sharing, opening from email, tap and hold an attachment , via any webdav server, mobileMe, you name it they probably have it I had NO idea.

This makes me think I need to go back and read GoodReader's docs to see what else it can do. Guillermo Esteves Guillermo Esteves 4 4 silver badges 8 8 bronze badges. Habilis is "retired' — Jaydles.
