I have a lot of files organized into folders and subfolders on iCloud. On my Macs, I can select an option that ensures that the entire iCloud Drive is synced to the internal SSD at all times. There is an option to select that offloads unused files, etc.

On the iPad Pro, I cannot find a similar option. I want the entire content of the iCloud Drive replicated on the internal storage, much the same as the Macs. I can of course browse the drive and download individual files (there is a little cloud symbol next to them) but I want the entire drive on my iPad for offline viewing (like when I’m flying without WiFi and want to get some work done).

Does anyone know how to do this?
 
No option to do this at the moment.

Wish they would add an option similar to photos - either optimize storage, or keep everything offline. Hopefully in iOS 12.
 
Thanks, that’s what I figured. Let’s hope they add this feature. The lack of it doesn’t play well into the “Pro” of the iPad.
