Just so I am understanding correctly, are you saying that normally you can navigate inside a Dropbox folder by heading for each letter of the alphabet? The only headings I have within a folder is folders and files.  In order to go to a specific file, I have to just swipe until I get there.  This

Well, I fixed it, sort of. I couldn't just ask SIRI to send a message to that group. I had to ask to send a text message to that group. Leaving out that one word "text" changed it all. Now it works on both my phone and my mini IPad. Thanks to you and everyone who helped. Vicki -
