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 hear copy to Bard Mobile and then double tap. The book will be transferred to your Bard Mobile app with fewer steps than with Dropbox.
