Thanks Grant and Neil. If I save a file as a favorit and then modify it when offline, do I have to do anything when next online to make sure the modified file is synched per usual in Dropbox?
Thanks very much.

But on an iDevice it's the other way around. You have to explicitly specify that you want an individual file to be available offline. You do that by opening the file in question and pressing the 'Add to Favorites' button. There's no download progress' available, but it should happen pretty quickly. The 'Remove from Favorites' button deletes the local copy of the file from your device again. To browse files offline, you can either select the Favorites tab in the Dropbox app along the bottom of the screen towards the middle, or you can browse the tree of viles as you normally would. If you try to open any files whose content is not stored on your device, you'll simply be told that the file is not available.
