Hi Dani, I'll tell you how I get BARD zip files in one of my Dropbox subfolders into BARD Mobile and it doesn't involve using the Dropbox app. I use the Files app which I believe was introduced with iOS 11. Here's what I do:
1. Open the Files app. 2. Select the Browse button from the bottomline menu. 3. From the list of available locations, swipe right until focus is on Dropbox personal and double tap. 4. Swipe until you reach your BARD subfolder and double tap. 5. Swipe until you reach the BARD zip file you wish to transfer and double tap. 6. In the upper right corner is a share button which you should double tap. 7. On the share screen that opens, swipe right until you hear copy to BARD Mobile and then double tap. 8. I got somewhat spotty success but found that it worked best when BARD Mobile was not running before I did step 7 to copy to BARD Mobile. When I made sure I removed BARD Mobile from the App Switcher before copying the file to it, it immediately opened when I executed the copy and I was located in my Bookshelf where I had to double tap on Audiobooks to complete the transfer. 9. Also, depending on how large the zip book is, you might experience a few seconds delay in the Files app when launching the share screen. Good luck and I hope this helps.

I'm trying again to download books with BARD from Dropbox. I have the latest version of both apps. I have copied the zipped DTB files over to the BARD folder in Dropbox, but can't get further than that. I can't see the "Open with" option that the BARD Help file says is supposed to come up. When the .zip file sits outside the folder and I try to use the Share option, I'm told that Dropbox can't open zipped files. What am I missing?
