Hello,
I haven’t succeeded in finding a Topic/Discussion on the problem I’m facing. I have Scrivener installed on two MacBook Pros using latest version of MacOS. I also have it on an iPad. Recently, I set up DropBox to serve as a place to house files that I want to access and work on across all three devices. However, whenever I try to open my project on a device other than the one I used to create and save it, I’m shown the following message:
"The project at “/Users/jbeynon/Dropbox/Apps/Scrivener/The Schizoanalysis Project.scriv” seems to be of an older format, but no binder.scrivproj file could be found inside it. It may be missing or corrupt, possibly because of a problem with the device on which it is stored, or because of a synchronisation problem.
Try ctri-clicking on the project in the Finder and selecting “Show Package Contents”, then look for a file entitled 'binder.scrivproj". Ensure it has not been renamed by a backup routine. If it does not exist, try restoring from a backup."
I have no idea whether the binder.scrivproj file was renamed by a backup routine, and I have no idea how to restore from a backup.
I don’t really care whether I use DropBox or iCloud. I just want to be able to set up the software on these three devices so that I can access and work on the same files across them. If I need to restore the software instances to factory settings, I’ll do that. I did save what few documents I had saved in the project as Word files. Any advice for the most reliable method for working with and saving/accessing projects across devices on which Scrivener is installed?
