Hi there. I'm new to iOS products. Currently an Android user, but am hoping to make the switch to iPads. However, I have a scenario that I use on the Android tablet that I need to be able to do on an iPad and I'm hoping someone can help me find the solution.

I need to have the iPad sync a folder (and all subfolders and files) from a cloud service (doesn't have to be iCloud) to the iPad's internal storage, so the files can be accessed when offline. It would be a bonus if I could schedule this sync to happen at certain times of the day (when I know the tablet will be in a WiFi zone). The sync only needs to happen one way - from cloud storage to iPad internal storage.

On Android, I used an app called FolderSync and it worked very well. However, I could not find this same app in the App Store.

Does anyone know of a way this can be done on iOS? The iPad currently has iOS 14.7.1, but am happy to update to iOS 15, if it's a requirement.

Thanks.

I use FileBrowser Pro and synch a folder plus subfolders from Dropbox to my iPad Pro (I just do it one way). The synch time is set up as a frequency - every 1, 4, 8, 12, or 24 hours.
