Are you using Marvin? Have you used a user name and password? Looking at the file structure in Dropbox itself seems to imply that you need to share a link, but I can't see how to do that.

This looks so different to the pathway I had to use in the past (both in Stanza and Marvin) that I'm having trouble getting my head around it and working out where the problem is.
I regularly use this method with Marvin so if you get it correct it should work without problems. The URL should end with the same last part as you traditionally used with DropBox. Typically with the default setup the main change is the start where you used to use 'dropbox.com/uXXXXX/Public and now use 'yourwebsite.updoc.co'. An easy way to check the URL is to use the HTML version of the catalog with a browser - if that works then you know the issue is what you are entering at the Marvin end.

One change is that if you have opted for the 'Pro' version of updog then it is now possible to use a username/password combination to increase security - something that was not possible with the Dropbox approach. That also works OK for me with Marvin.

If you are prepared to PM me with the details of the URL you are actually using I can try it from my end to see if I can spot what might be going wrong. If you do that can you confirm the path in Dropbox where you have your Calibre library located so I can check that against the URL you are using.
