iPad Pro iCloud Drive Offline File Access iPad Pro

[Picapau21]

Hi Guys,

I am struggling to get a definitive answer on this but I think it is not possible to download entire iCloud Drive folders for offline access onto my iPad Pro 11 without individually opening each file.

Is this correct?

Thanks

One reason to use Dropbox, although it's offline folders are not perfect.

I use iCloud Drive quite heavily so it would be difficult to migrate over to dropbox but thanks for the info.

It would be nice if the Files app respected the Dropbox offline folders. Plus, I have had issues with apps that use Dropbox not understanding there is no network connection and to use the downloaded copy.

This is indeed an issue. Apple wan't to position the iPad as a computer replacement, but if you cannot work when you have no internet, that is a severe limitation compared to a laptop. People from Apple never travel on airplanes?
