KOReader: Dropbox: Fail

steveparry · 09-22-2020, 01:40 PM

I installed KOReader on my new Libra and am still exploring it. I tried activating the DropBox access. I put the token (long stream of letters and digits) into the box and hit go. I just got a dialogue about 'no such folder' or something similar. Does it actually work? I wondered if the wifi was off when I tried to activate it but I think it was on. All my books are on DropBox so its important to be able to access it. i since discovered an email from DropBox checking it was me... Perhaps I should again?

Feature works for me on the Kindle. I think I just copy-pasted the token to the lua config file or something since I kept getting it wrong manually typing on the e-ink Kindle.

Don't think I've added it yet to the Kobo. A firmware update removed KOReader and haven't had the motivation to reinstall.

@ilovejedd: (Minor nitpick for future readers) Correction: a FW update disabled *one* way to launch KOReader, not KOReader itself

It does work.
As said, to avoid misprints it's better to copy-paste the token
