You will use a folder inside the Dropbox folder to sync your projects.

On Windows, you should see the 'Dropbox' folder in File Explorer's sidebar: On macOS, you should see the 'Dropbox' folder in the Finder's sidebar: When Dropbox is installed on your desktop machine, it places a 'Dropbox' folder in your computer's file system: You will need the Dropbox client installed and running on your desktop machine to sync with the iOS version.

Begin editing the project on Scrivener for iOS.

Tap the sync button to download any changes to your projects.

Close the project on desktop and open Scrivener for iOS.

Edit on your Mac or Windows machine, and wait for the changes to be synced by the Dropbox desktop client.
