If you look inside the new project (on the server), what do you see?
In Finder on the Mac, do the projects have the green “fully synced” icon?
(I’ll boost your trust settings so you can post screenshots.)
From the Dropbox web view, if you click on the BurnThroughTheWitches.scriv Scrivener project folder, you should see something like this:
Particularly, in the .scriv project folder you should see a file named BurnThroughTheWitches.scrivx. This .scrivx file is the “binder structure file” that is mentioned as missing in the original post of this thread.
Are you seeing the .scrivx file?
Best,

Hi JimRac - clicking on BurnthroughTheWitches.scriv in the web view of DropBox gives me the following:
Can’t load this file type
This file type is unsupported here.
A .scriv file is a folder. You should be able to see the contents of that folder via the Dropbox web interface. (Make sure you click on the name of the folder, to open it, not the checkbox to select it.)
Also with Finder, can right-mouse click “Show Package Contents” to see what’s there (or not, is possible for this problem).
Since the projects behave properly on the Mac, but not the iPad, I’m working on the assumption that this is a sync issue, not a Mac Scrivener issue.
Ah yes. If sync then also maybe flaw has been synced. Mystery.
Thanks for the tips. “Show package content” in finder worked, but I still couldn’t find a way to open the .scriv in the dropbox web view to show me the contents - so instead I downloaded a .tar of the dropbox scriv and checked that it indeed has the .scrivx file in there.
So… still wondering why it won’t open on my iPad :\
Just a thought but I could share the dropbox link to my newly made project to one of your emails if that can help debug.
Or I can send you a copy of the scrivx file, if it’s some kind of project config file you can look at to assess.
