On the iPad I unlinked and relinked to the dropbox, I still get the same error. I've looked through the Marvin settings but don't see anything that looks like it would resolve the issue. Suggestions??? BTW if I should start a new thread please let me know.
Was that Marvin 2/Classic (red icon) or Marvin 3 (white icon)? Iirc, Dropbox changed their API at one point and only Marvin 3 was updated.

If you still have the older version which no longer supports Dropbox, you can use Calibre's built-in content server to transfer books to the iPad.

P.S. Managed to find Marvin 3's release date (2016). That iPad definitely has the older version.
