Chris,
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.
