How to integrate Dropbox and Dropbox for s mode
I have 2 dropboxes. 1 is a Dropbox that I access on my desktop Windows machine, and another is a Dropbox for s mode that is accessed through my iPad. I didn't ask for that one. It seemed to show up ...
Could you clarify where exactly you expect to find the option to 'Open folders in'?
A screenshot of where you would see this option would be great!
Okay, I've downloaded the Dropbox app to my desktop. Now I am having some basic file management problems. I am trying to use the same techniques that I always have to move files around, and it doesn't work. For example, I moved my large file of songs into Dropbox by clicking and dragging, but my cursor was off a bit, and I deposited them into another file. I can not figure out how to move the file up a level in the directory. Also, I would like to rename a file that I named inaccurately. I can't quite figure out how to do that. Is there a manual outlining how to do this?
I am still not able to get the iPad to read the same dropbox file as Windows does.
Thanks for you assistance!

Dropbox Community ModeratorIt sounds like you're using the new Dropbox desktop application. You can return to using Explorer/Finder using these steps, which should allow you to manipulate your files easier.
Let me know how it goes!
Okay, it sends me to preferences so that I can chose to oped folders in file explorer. I can find settings, and I can find preferences, but I can't find "open folders in" so that I can choose file explorer. Under preferences I have Language, Date format, Time zone, early releases, see info about people, manually add contacts, smart sync for mac. Is there a drop box or file tab or something that I am missing?

Let's not go into how this worked (because I don't know), but I have just been able to open my DropBox files in File Manager. Now I am able to go into the folder, copy the files I want, and move them into the only folder that the iPad Songbook seems to recognize. Then I will be able to delete the other folders that I created in trying to solve the problem. Finally I will have "One Songbook file to rule them all". Now that I can access them in File Manager, I know how to - well - manage the files, so I hope it will be smooth sailing from here on.
Thank you so much for your help and your patience. I will rank you sky high in terms of helping!
