Offline access to encrypted Dropbox folders on iPad

iancottam

We really need offline access to files that have been marked as a 'favorite' in Dropbox and which, hopefully, means that Dropbox on the iPad then keeps a local copy (subject to space).

I know the iOS app is free, but this would be such a boon to my organisation (and no doubt others) that I would expect you to make a lot more sales on the PC and Mac side.

Hey Ian,

thank you very much for your input. You can pitch your idea here: http://boxcryptor.uservoice.com/forums/100207-general

I'm sure it'll find some support :-)

Meanwhile as long as you're not completly offline but just want to minimize your data traffic you can use the caching feature. We need a little bit of traffic to get the file listing from the provider. But as long cach is activated the files are stored locally.
Thanks
David

I just spotted that GoodReader can download entire Dropbox (sub-) folders for offline working. Is there anyway to interface such a downloaded folder with the Boxcryptor app? I expect not currently, but it may be a cheap way for you to implement this much needed feature.

We already have a solution in mind, I hope it'll work out like imagined :)

Thanky you and happy holidays!
