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!

Dropbox Community ModeratorIf it's black, that means the app has no connection to the internet, or it isn't signed into an account.
If you click the app, what message does it say on the bottom left?
Here's a screen shot. What do I do now, please?

This is the Dropbox desktop application file navigator, and isn't what you see when you single click the Dropbox icon near the clock on the bottom right.
Since it looks like the Songbook is a shared folder, what happens if you add files in there?
When I put song files into Dropbox now, the show up in file manager but do not show up in Songbook. I don't think that the people I have shared with are using it to do much except download the songs to their own file.

As I'm not familiar in how Songbook works, there isn't much else I can suggest from our end.
It looks like the Dropbox app is synced, so it could be that the files are not in the folder or area that Songbook is searching for the files.
I'd recommend checking with them once more, just to ensure their app is setup correctly.
I have checked settings on Songbook and it lists the name of the correct file in Dropbox\Songbook.
How can you tell if Dropbox is syncing? I thought you said that the Dropbox app should be white of yellow? It is black. It really is behaving as if there is no link between Dropbox and Songbook. Can you think of anything else that I can try?
Thanks.
I have made some changes to the files through my Dropbox file manager, deleting files without titles to clean up the list. These changes are not visible on the Dropbox internet site that you directed me to. The old files are still there.
It appears that the files are in both the folder on the online Dropbox and in my folder that I see in File Manager on my computer. They do not seem to be connected. Changes made in the folder the I see in File Manager are not reflected in the folder on Dropbox.
