Windows + iOS Sync not working

The thing is, it’s not really a question of “syncing”. The iOS app reads the normal Scrivener projects, even if you don’t have the desktop app, so if it doesn’t, there must be some fundamental error in either the projects or in the app. The only way to pinpoint the error is to eliminate all potential handling errors and do some experimenting.

Did you try deleting and re-installing the app? Did you try creating a new project in the iOS app, closing and re-opening it, editing and then saving the changes? Did you then try to open it on the dedktop, editing and closing, and re-opening on the iOS app?
You write that you have updated the iOS, to what version?

I did delete the app and reinstalled, with no change in behavior.

My phone is iOS 9.3.3 (iPhone 6S Plus)
My computer is Windows 10, Scrivener 1.9.5.0

When I created a new project on my phone, everything seems to work fine. When I create a new project in Windows, it still seems to work fine. The problem seems to be with pre-existing projects I have, which were created under the previous version of Scrivener for Windows.

I’m still not able to get it syncing in any reliable fashion. I created a new project in Windows, saved into the Dropbox folder on my computer. I added text into one of the files. Then I waited for Dropbox to finish syncing. On my phone, I linked the app to Dropbox and then synced. The project came over, but when I open that file, it’s empty. If I go back to Windows and open the project again, the file still has text in it.

Now I can repeat the above process, and sometimes it works fine. Most of the time, it doesn’t. If I have multiple files in the project, some of them will always work, others will work intermittently.
