Dropbox problem from Mac to PC

Scrivener Scrivener for Windows
1

Hi,
I can’t open a saved make project from my PC. I deleted the duplicate project that people have said causes a problem and still nothing. What I get is a dialog box and then a new project file sometimes opens.

Cannot access… Then ……name of drive Project name etc…… Scrivener.scriv.zip/name of project scrivener.scrivx

File is not writable: Access is denied
Auto-saves needs write permission to your project

I tried from Dropbox and from Dropbox on my harddrive. When I tried to from Scrivener non of the files showed up in the Dropbox folder.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

To be clear, it sounds like you are trying to load the project straight out of a zip archive, and that won’t work because you can’t write to a zip archive—hence the warning that you can’t open a project in a read-only environment. Have you tried copying the “my project.scriv” folder out of the Zip and to your Desktop so that it can be worked on?
