It appears I'm having the same problem.
I have a Kobo Glo, software ver: 3.3.0 (April 17, 2014) Australia
I have folders set up on Dropbox for family to download books direct to their Kobo - type and version same as mine. I upload to folders on Dropbox but books will no longer download to any of the Kobos.
Downloading was working fine up until June 12 that I know of, failing on June 29 and thereafter. Once the (Dropbox file) Download button is pressed, the Kobo screen flickers but then nothing happens. This feature has worked flawlessly since January, soon after we bought the Kobos.
So I recently setup similar file sharing accounts on Box, Divshare, FlipDrive, Minbox, Cloudme and SpiderOak - all gave the same results. No download.
If I do a random Google search using the Kobo, and click/press/point on a file on the search page (PDF or EPUB), it downloads ok. So a direct link works, but pressing a Download Button on a file sharing site fails every time.
I'm sure a sync has altered something on the Kobo, even though the software is dated April - the problem being on two Kobos that I know of, after June 12.
I don't have an answer to the problem, and I don't want to hack the Kobos. I'm just hoping the Kobo crew will come to realise this malfunction has occurred, and fix it.
Cheers,
Matt
