iPad Pro 9.7 with MS Excel and OneDrive

Longtime PC guy here trying to figure out how to save files locally. I'm curious if there is an app/built-in function that allows me to do some folder structuring, so I can access my excel files when I'm offline. I see that I can save files locally, but I can't seem to see how to add different folders, ie. Estimate Folder, Project Folder, etc.

I went with an iPad pro, as I needed to have a cellular connection and liked the pencil, so I can mark up blueprints and love the adobe sign, but with the amount of traveling I do, I'm in dead areas or on a plane but still want to access my files. I used to be able to save files from OneDrive for offline viewing, now I'm not seeing that.

Open a file in OneDrive, then tap the three dots at the top right:

That way, you can make it available offline.

@J.A. Thanks for the reply. I did see that, but I guess I'm looking for something that would allow me to make a whole folder available offline. I have 10 folders right now I am working on and each folder has 20-50 pics, 2-10 excel files and at least 1 word doc. My old android tablet, allowed me to make a whole folder available offline. Is there a way to do that, or is it each file individually?

 

[J. A.]

That's not possible (yet?). It's still each file individually. Sorry!

It is possible using iCloud Drive, but unless you are also using a Mac getting to those files on your computer is less than optimum.
