I didn’t D sync from dropbox. I simply copied particular folders from dropbox and dropped them into iCloud folders. One strange thing I didn’t notice, the first time around I tried to just copy the whole dropbox folder and put it into iCloud. It did move, but the files app couldn’t see anything in it. Then I decided to just move individual folders from subdirectories out of the main dropbox, and they showed up fine in the files iOS app.
