Download Epubs from Dropbox
I have my library on Dropbox and when I need a title for my Kobo Aura I simply connect it through wifi to my Dropbox account and can select and download the book I want.
But without having changed any settings it now suddenly looks and behaves as 'greyed-out': I can see my directories but tapping will not open them as before. Anybody with the same experience, a solution and/or link thereto? Thanks |

It's working fine for me. Have you tried logging out of Dropbox and back in again?

I assume you are visiting Dropbox's mobile website with the Kobo's web browser? Does your account work on your desktop's web browser? (e.g. visit https://m.dropbox.com from Chrome/Firefox/whatever)

Just tried with a Kindle Paperwhite 2 and get the same behaviour. I can't enter any directories using the mobile web site.

The solution is don't connect to the mobile version of the website. If the Aura does it automatically, there is link near the bottom of the page for the desktop version of the site.

Better yet, tap Dropbox politely on the shoulder and ask them, "What's up?"
