Hi Mac C., happy Tuesday!
In order to be able to open your content on your iPad when offline, you'd need to make them accessible first, following these steps.
As for your computer, is the content you're trying to open available online or offline too?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there.

Hi Megan, thanks for replying. Sorry for the delay. To answer your question, I have 2 folders in my Dropbox account that I want to access when I am online AND offline. Right now, both folders are set (via my iPad) to be available OFFLINE. I can only see them by opening Dropbox and viewing them as non-editable files. I cannot access them offline using Numbers, Pages or LibreOffice. I don't even know where I would find them other than in the Dropbox app. My question is... how do I locate and configure these folders to be accessible OFFLINE using Numbers, Pages or LibreOffice?
