Before resorting to the automatic backups on the Mac, try unlinking & relinking DropBox from iOS Scriv. This will ensure that any leftover crud from a failed sync is removed from iOS Scriv.
Ensure all projects are closed on your Mac and fully synced.
- From iOS Scriv Projects screen, click Edit.
- Select the Gearbox.
- Select Unlink DropBox.
- Select Delete local copies.
All of your synced DropBox projects should be gone from the iOS Project screen. Your local on my iPad projects (if any) should still be there.
- From iOS Scriv Projects screen, click Edit.
- Select the Gearbox.
- Select Link DropBox
- Select Allow from the DropBox prompt.
- Select the DropBox folder in which your Scrivener projects are stored. Default is Aps/Scrivener. Click Done.
Scrivener will resync all of your projects. This may take a long time. Monitor it.
When this is complete, try opening your problem project again on your iPad.
Best,
Jim
