EarlierEnterprises may not have had a hard limit specified in the documentation but there has been a lot of discussion on issues packaging data. There's a good chance that's why these hard limit recommendations eventually came to be.
Entire package. They recommend excluding attachments to decrease package size. It's generally the tile layers + large extent + high level of detail, or attachments, that contribute the most to package size.
You can create up to 16 offline map areas per web map. I'd recommend creating multiple offline areas, as optimized (small) as possible, instead of a single behemoth. I'd look to the 11.1 or latest size limit recommendations as a good guide - under 1gb is better.
I'm on 10.9.1 and I'm having issues packaging offline areas due to the size of the packages. Since discovering the size limit in the 11.2 documentation, I wondered if the hard limit had always existed but not specifically mentioned.
I discovered that my map already had 16 offline map areas of various sizes (up to 3GB in size) which led me to question how the size limit was enforced. Then, I realised that when the offline map areas were created, they were very likely to be under 2GB in size initially.
As the size of some of the feature services grew, the data in the offline managed grew as well through the 'update' process. The 'Update' process appears to ignore size limits which is how I ended up with packages >2GB in size.
It does introduce a lot of issues in maintaining these offline areas because you could not knowingly be maintaining a perfectly working offline area that has exceeded the size limit but suddenly could not be recreated again due to the size limit and the result is a broken offline map area.
Generally, I keep my Dropbox files off-line. In the past, if I marked a particular file "make available offline", the circle next to the file name would turn green fairly quickly, and the file would then be available on my driv drive immideately. Now, however, the "make available offline option seems to have no effect. If I try to access a file, the access is veery slow and sometimes fail completely. However, I can usually still access files if I wait long enough. Also, I can move files (very slowly) to a flash drive. why has this change occurred?

Thank you. I am not sure I understand your questions, but I will answer as best i can. I do not know the app version. Where can I find that? I presume it is the current version. I dont know why it would not be. The app indicates it is "sincing" but the number of files sincing just keeps growing. In the past, the number of files sincing would drop to zero fairly quickly. I dont know the exact time the problem started, but I first noticed it about a week or so ago. Initially I thought it was just some temporary problem that would solve itself, but that has not occurred. I am not aware of any particular update at that time, but I cannot rule it out. There are 441,443 files in the Dropbox folder. The app indicates they occupy 3.8 TB of my available 4.0 TB. The app indicates 11,671 files are sincing, but, as i explained above, there does not appear to be much progress in reducing that number. Thanks for your help.
When you say "the number of files currently syncing", do you mean the number of files in the Dropbox folder? File Explorer counts the number of files in the Dropbox folder at , but, ordinarily, none are sincing because all have completed their synchonization, and the vast majority are set to "online only." At least, that is my understanding. Presently, the Dropbox icon in the system tray indicates 12,066 files are syncing, but that is the reason I am reporting this problem: the sync function does not apper to be working correctly. Ordinarily the number of files syncing would be very small and would quickly diminish to zero.
I would be willing to move files from my Dropbox folder if that is what you say I must do, but that diminishes the value of having Dropbox account. I have a plan with 4.0TB, and the Dropbox icon in the system tray indicates only 3.8TB is in use. So, usuage should not be a problem. Are you saying I am limited to a certain number of files as well as to 4.0TB of space? What if I zip some of the smaller files together?
In answer to your question about selective sync: The default is set to "online only", and I generally return files to "online only" after using them. However, my understanding is that "online only" leaves all the files in my Dropbox. Changing the setting only affects the file on my local disk. Is that correct? If so, I dont see what you mean by removing large files from the desktop app. Selective sync would keep them off my local disk, but the only way I know to remove a file from Dropbox is to delete the file, in whch case I would lose it from my local disk too, right? That would be counterproductive. Evidently I am confused.
You also mentioned that the app is syncing that amount of files, however the question is, since your plan is using 3.8TB out of the 4TB, do you have enough space for these files to sync to your account online?
I presume space is available in my dropbox. I believe all or most of the files "syncing" are downloading, not uploading. Also, if space was unavailable in the dropbox, I presume the indicator would show the full 4.0 TB used, or at least 3.9 TB and not 3.8 TB. I would also expect some kind of error message or warning that space is low.
However, in order to assure ample space in the dropbox, I started a few days ago cutting and moving some large files to a flash drive. That is a chore because dropbox will only download them one at a time, and very slowly.
The only workaround I could think of was to use editor tracking fields, but these fields are not populated until after a data point is collected. So form calculations needing this information will not have it unless the user re-edits the newly added point. This is not a great solution.
I figured, the editor tracking fields clearly have access to usernames, so maybe GetUser() does too. This DOES work while offline. When I say offline I mean my device is in airplane mode and I am using either an offline area created on the device, or an offline area created in Field Maps Designer. I tested both.
In my specific case, our organization uses first initial and last name as part of their usernames, so I can still get the information I want. I won't mark this as a solution though, as it is not quite as good as retrieving a full name. I also find it frustrating that this is not documented anywhere in the Field Maps references or the Arcade reference.
I created a bit of a workaround for this if anyone is interested. I would imagine this workaround is not practical or applicable for all use cases, but it is still something. I literally have not tested this offline, but I see no reason why it would not work, since the table in question could be synced and available offline. (I will test that in the coming weeks, but I figured the concept was worth sharing.)
For an unrelated task, I created a table with key (field) names, and lookup values to search for, then "value" field names, and values to return. I initially put last_edited_user to try and populate this, but that only hits the form on submit (so it couldn't actively apply from the lookup table.)

In the cloud and through the Dropbox interface, the extra protection from Vault would be available. On a local storage device, it would be "business as usual". However, some users (like myself) might find the extra security more valuable specifically in the cloud and through the Dropbox interface.
As secure as Dropbox sync presumably is, perhaps Dropbox wished to eliminate recurring sync from Vaulted files to avoid the repeated exposure of such files to data transfer between cloud and local, just to be extra cautious. However, I'd still be interested in "business as usual" syncing of such files with the added security of Vault limited to the cloud storage / Dropbox UI side.
I don't see the problem there in providign access to the Vault folder offline. There can be just an extra encyption for the folder which should solve the issue. Othe cloud storage and backup providers like pCloud which also I am using has got this feature available which is making the secret folders easy to access from desktops locally.
