Dropbox On Iphone - Can I Remove A Sub-Folder From My Device?

[RSDonovan]

I have a lot of sub (and sub-sub) folders on my iPad Dropbox. Some of these folders I have "Made Available Online" so I can see/play them without internet or 4G.


My iPhone space is running low so I would like to "Remove from Device" certain of these folders and still have them available in Dropbox to re-download when I want them.


To "Remove from Device" you 'just' need to hit the three dots … next to the file name and select Remove from Device. Easy.

Except this option is only available for level 1 folders e.g. \dropbox\audiobooks

for any lower sub-folders e.g. \dropbox\audiobooks\Bill Bryson the option "Remove from Device" is greyed-out (not available) on tapping the three dots …

So I can only remove ALL my audiobooks by "Remove from Device" on \dropbox\audiobooks which is definitely not what I want to do. I have many authors under \audiobooks and many books under each author.


This is such an obvious thing to want to be able to do that I can't believe Dropbox have omitted the function so I think I must be missing something!


Can anyone help?


Thanks

No personal experience but I'd start looking at settings and right click menus. It's conceivable that delete means from the box not the iPad so you are prevented from deleting that which other devices have access to ?
