But I also have lots of other books in the .epub format that I can add to the reader directly (by adding them via the Adobe Digital Editions software) but then they don't sync to my phone. r I can also add them to my phone via dropbox but then they don't sync to the Kobo ebook reader. Does anybody have a solution to this syncing problem?
Thank you!

You heard wrong, then.
It is specifically the Kindle that can sync sideloaded books between devices.
The way it works is by emailing your books to a send-to-kindle email address (something@free.kindle.com) and then downloading the books from the same "Cloud" tab that lists your purchased-from-Amazon books for download.
See:

calibre can convert your EPUBs to MOBIs and even email them for you.
The only option on a Kobo for sideloaded books is to use alternative readers, as Ken says. That may or may not be something you are interested in trying -- there is a reason why people usually choose a Kindle if syncing sideloaded books is important to them.
