Hi all
Am currently traveling and have run into a snag with Dropbox, it seems that when left to sync, if the iPad is locked or left to sleep when on charge that IOS in its infinite wisdom shuts off wireless access thus killing the transfer until the iPad is used again, even with background enabled.
Does anyone have ideas on a work around?
I searched the subject and it seems a little strange but others are suffering the same issue?
Thoughts welcome

Hmm... shutting off wireless when asleep doesn't make a lot of sense. The automatic backups to iCloud occur at night but only when the device is plugged in. Are your iCloud backups still working? That could tell you if it's a wireless issue.

How much data are you trying to sync to Dropbox?

Put the iPad on charge.

Dropbox will terminate its automatic camera uploading after 10 mins if it is not in the application exclusively. Just keep it plugged in and charge, and disable the lock screen whilst running Dropbox.
