Re: And with iTunes 12.7? Re: Using Dropbox to transfer books from computer to Iphone's Bard Mobile app?

[Alan Lemly]

Gerardo, 

I have an update on transferring Bard zipped books in a Dropbox folder to your 
Bard Mobile library. Instead of doing it with the Dropbox app, use the new 
Files app in iOS 11. Open the files app, select browse, and select Dropbox 
personal provided you've added Dropbox to the services recognized by Files. 
Navigate to the zip file you want to transfer to BARD Mobile and single finger 
swipe down on the screen until you hear share and double tap. A share sheet 
will open and swipe right until you hearcopy to Bard Mobile and then double 
tap. The book will be transferred to your Bard Mobile app with fewer steps than 
with Dropbox.

Gerardo,

I don't have any ideas for addressing your issue transferring your downloaded 
BARD zipped book to BARD Mobile from your Dropbox folder provided you followed 
the steps I posted.

You can transfer a downloaded BARD book from your computer to the BARD Mobile 
app using iTunes 12.7 and I think it's a bit easier than under earlier versions 
of iTunes. Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone to your computer and place 
focus on your iPhone and tap enter. Navigate to the Summary tab and tap the F 
key to move to file sharing. Tap your F6 key and you'll jump to the file 
sharing portion of the screen where the apps supporting it are listed below. 
Tab until focus is on your list of apps and down arrow to the BARD Mobile app. 
Tab until the Add File has focus and press enter to navigate to the folder 
containing your BARD zip file. After you finish this process, the book should 
be in your audiobooks library within your BARD Mobile app.

Good luck.

Here are the instructions I just got to work to transfer a zipped BARD book in 
a Dropbox folder to the BARD Mobile app:



  1.  Open Dropbox on your iDevice and navigate to the appropriate folder 
containing your BARD book zip file.
  2.  Place focus on the book you want to transfer and double tap.
  3.  A new screen opens and if you touch the middle of it, Voiceover will 
announce something like "zip files can't be previewed" which you can ignore. 
Touch the upper right of the screen where a button called more actions is. You 
don't want it but swipe left once and focus should be placed on a share button 
which you should double tap.
  4.  At the very bottom of the screen is an unlabeled button which simply says 
button on my iPhone 7. Double tap when it has focus.
  5.  A share sheet will open and you should swipe right until you hear open in 
and then double tap.
  6.  You'll hear an announcement saying "exporting" which might take some time 
to clear depending on the size of the book. You'll hear a sort of burble sound 
when it is done and another share sheet will appear on the screen which you 
should swipe right on until you hear "copy to BARD Mobile" and then double tap.
  7.  Go to your BARD Mobile bookshelf and the transferred book should be in 
its proper place such as audiobooks.



I'm glad this still works but I must admit that it seems less intuitive and 
less accessible than it did in prior versions of iOS.

Thanks Alan for the update.  I am still running ios 10.  I am waiting on ios 
11.1 before updating.

It might even be ios 11.03, because I seen a few different apps that have been 
broken with this current update.  That is really strange that you get that 
result with the export button.  Maybe the current ios update broke something in 
Dropbox.  Hopefully Dropbox will address this issue in a future update.
