How to clear the Dropbox mobile app cache on iPhone/iPad?
Using an iPhone 5C running iOS 9.1 and Dropbox 4.0.4. The iOS Dropbox app itself is only 55.8 MB in size, however my iPhone is reporting that Dropbox is using a total of 300+ MB in Documents and Data...

Just noticed today that there's a new button in Dropbox settings saying Clear cache. So hopefully the problem is now resolved :-)

...continuing... So I was trying to solve the OneDrive problem by Googling a method to delete the app on a windows 10 home user tablet. My search results didn't seem to have anything about sync (or maybe I was blind to it).
But after reading the comment here, I Googled un-sync OneDrive and discovered another arcane solution of finding the secret control panel setting... Anyway, I'm trying that and we'll see if it works.
The point is, I was taking an Apple approach to a Windows problem. (Apple: Don't like your app? Just press on it and delete it!) But Windows isn't Apple and it helps to think about the problem from a different perspective, ie, instead of asking how can I delete the app, I can ask how can I turn off the sync?
