![]() Also synced with iTunes and now the file browser shows the folder and it's no longer zero kb. From there, Jeff told me to tap edit on my iPad and drag the projects from "On My iPad" to "Dropbox". For the first time, a Dropbox list appeared in my iPad's Projects list and the Apps/Scivener folder in Dropbox showed my "Test" Project. Today I decided to add a new "Test" Project on my iPad with one file in it. So, I understood what was happening, but couldn't fix it. The Projects and the empty folder showed in my iTunes file browser. However, when I first (and many subsequent attempts, reinstalls, etc) tried to sync my existing iPad Projects to Dropbox, a folder was created, but it was empty. The options are to backup my iPad to iTunes on my iMac and work with files from there or, easier, to sync with Dropbox and work from there. Thanks to Jeff at Literature and Latte for working through this with me over several detailed replies. However, on return, I tried to set up the Dropbox sync and it didn't work. I took it on a trip and worked on a number of new projects created on my iPad. This app is very easy to work with on my iPad. Very easy to use, solution to DropBox sync problems ![]() Ultimately, I think this app has to be taken out of Dropbox and put onto the cloud. If it continues, I will just have to use this app on the desktop, writing on another program with the ipad and copying it over to this app later on. I will give it another try and see what comes of that. Not sure if the recent update will solve the infuriating Dropbox problems. I ended up deleting the chapter and starting over with the back-up I had emailed to myself. This it did, but with the older version of the chapter that I was editing and I thanked the gods for that back-up I had stored elsewhere. When I returned to the desktop, it wanted to sync with the ipad. After the first time, I got it back and backed up everything I was working on, and I was lucky I had the foresight to do that for this app kept crashing. Today, for instance, it refused to sync and kept shutting down. Unfortunately, the Dropbox syncing is maddening. I have the new ipad, 10.5, 256gb, and was looking forward to using this app on it. I write mostly on iPads because I am rarely home and they are easier than laptops to lug around. I am a relatively new this app, just learning it, and involved in a lengthy writing project. I was exuberant to see this app materialize with an ipad version.
