Setup and Verification
To set up Dropbox syncing between your iPhone and PC, you'll want to double-check the Dropbox set up steps in Scrivener for iOS. Ensure you've linked the correct Dropbox folder in Scrivener for iOS, which is usually the Dropbox/Apps/Scrivener folder by default.
This means you need to access your projects from that same Dropbox folder on all your devices if you want to sync changes between them. To confirm the linked folder, navigate to the Projects list in Scrivener for iOS, then tap the Edit button in the header bar and the gear button in the footer bar.
Make sure you're using the correct Dropbox account by checking the files in the Dropbox application on your iPhone against what you see in the Dropbox folder on your desktop computer. If they don't match, you might be signed into a different Dropbox account on the two devices.
Verify Setup Steps
Double-check the Dropbox set up steps to ensure you've linked the correct Dropbox folder in Scrivener for iOS. This is crucial for syncing changes between devices.
The default linked folder is Dropbox/Apps/Scrivener, but if you've stored projects in a different Dropbox folder on your computer, change it to that folder at step 6.
Navigate to the Projects list in Scrivener for iOS, tap the Edit button, then the gear button, and finally Dropbox Settings to confirm the linked folder path.
On your desktop, open the Dropbox folder in your Finder or File Explorer and verify your projects are stored in the same linked folder.
Verify Correct Account
You may be signed into a different Dropbox account on your mobile device and desktop computer.
To ensure you're using the correct account, open the Dropbox application on your iOS device and browse around the files. If the files don't match what you see in the Dropbox folder on your desktop computer, you may be signed in to the wrong account.
This is just a test to see if you're using the correct Dropbox account, so don't try to open the project from within the Dropbox application.
The changes you've made in the project will sync to Dropbox automatically as long as the project is stored in the same Dropbox folder that you configured your device to use.
Do Not Open Scrivener Projects
When setting up Scrivener on your iOS device, there's a crucial step to avoid: opening Scrivener projects directly from the Dropbox app.
You won't be able to access your projects if you try to open them through the Dropbox app on your iOS device.
If you link your Dropbox folder in Scrivener for iOS, your projects will become available from the Projects list within the app, allowing you to access them seamlessly.

Desktop Application
To use the Dropbox desktop application effectively, you must install the Dropbox client on your computer. This will create a Dropbox folder where you can access your projects with ease.
The desktop application is essential for seamless syncing, so make sure to install it. It's a straightforward process that will save you time and hassle in the long run.
Instead of uploading your Scrivener project to the Dropbox website, you'll want to move it into your Dropbox folder on your computer. This will ensure that your project is synced across all your devices, including your iPhone.
To avoid any syncing issues, make sure the project is in the same folder that you have linked in Scrivener for iOS. Double-check the Dropbox set up steps to ensure everything is in place.

Invalid Project\" or \"Does Not Contain a Valid Binder Structure\" Errors
If you receive an "Invalid Project" or "Does Not Contain a Valid Binder Structure" error, it's likely because Dropbox on your desktop hasn't fully synced all the files.
The issue is that each Scrivener project has many files inside it, and if you don't wait for Dropbox to upload all the files, the iOS version can't download the necessary files to open the project.
To fix this, simply check on Dropbox on your desktop and wait for the files to sync.
You can tell when Dropbox is synced by following the instructions in the Preparing Projects for Syncing section.
Once Dropbox is synced on your desktop, tap the sync button in the iOS version to download the rest of the files.
Syncing Files
You can transfer music from Dropbox to your iPhone's music library without using iTunes with the help of a computer.
With iMyFone TunesMate, you can add music from your Dropbox account to your iPhone's music library. TunesMate will automatically convert any unsupported music formats.
TunesMate allows you to sync music to your iPhone without causing any data loss to your existing music library. This means you can transfer music from different computers without erasing your existing music library.
You can also transfer music to your iPhone selectively, which is useful if you only want to transfer certain songs or albums.
To make Dropbox automatic sync files on your PC, you can use the Dropbox desktop app. However, it's worth noting that Dropbox doesn't automatically sync files by default.
On mobile devices, you can enable automatic sync of photos and videos to the cloud by opening the Dropbox app, logging in to your account, and clicking on the Account tab.
Dropbox provides methods to automatically back up files and photos to the cloud on both PC and mobile devices. This can be a lifesaver if you accidentally delete an important file or edit and change a file before saving it to Dropbox.
