Hi Shannon,
I'm assuming you're on iOS 11 since transferring to BARD Mobile via Dropbox Is not nearly as intuitive under iOS 11 as it was under previous versions. There is also an unlabeled button in the process so I'll say it isn't as accessible either. With that in mind, I'm going to give you the steps to transfer your book using the new iOS 11 Files app which works much better than doing it straight through Dropbox. This will necessitate that you make your Dropbox account available to the Files app. 1. Open the Files app on your device. 2. Select the Browse button at the far right of the bottomline menu. 3. Swipe to Locations and double tap. 4. Double tap the Edit button in the top right corner. 5. Swipe through the list and turn Dropbox on. It's been a while since I've done this but the process wasn't confusing the first time. I just don't remember the specific steps. 6. Once those first steps are done, they don't have to be repeated. Navigate to the folder in Dropbox containing the zip file you want to copy to BARD Mobile. 7. Swipe to the book's zip file and when it has focus, single finger swipe down until you hear share and then double tap. 8. A share sheet will open and swipe right until you hear copy to BARD Mobile and double tap. 9. The file will be available in your BARD Mobile audiobooks library. What has happened with Dropbox in iOS 11 is that when you double tap on the file you want to send to BARD Mobile and then double tap the share button at the top right of the screen, another screen opens with a button to email the file and with text explaining something like add people you want to share with. If you swipe again, at the very bottom of the screen is an unlabeled button that says button and possible text which you must double tap to open the share sheet. You then must swipe several times until you hear Open In and then you double tap. This opens yet another share sheet which contains the copy to BARD Mobile button which when double tapped will do just that. This copy to BARD Mobile was available on the first share sheet when doing the transfer with the Files app. Sorry to go on for so long but I'd rather have too many details than not enough. For those interested in reading more about the new Files app in iOS 11, Apple has a good explanation of it on this website: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206481 Alan Lemly -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shannon Dyer Sent: Friday, October 20, 2017 6:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Dropbox and BARD Mobile Hi, all. I am attempting to load a BARd book into the BARD Mobile app from dropbox onto my iPad. The file is in a dropbox folder which I can find on the iPad. Then, I double tap on the zip file and then double tap on the share button. Supposedly, I should be taken to a menu with an �open in� option, but this doesn�t seem to happen. Instead, I am given an option to email a link to someone. I�ve looked for the menu I�m supposed to see, but I can�t seem to find it. Can someone tell me what I�m doing wrong? I normally download from the Bard Mobile app directly, but something seems to be wrong with the wish list feature there. Instead of seeing my wish list from newest to oldest, I see it from oldest to newest which makes it impossible to see the end of the list. Anyway, I�m wondering if anyone can help out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Shannon -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
