In access note click on the sync button. Anytime you do that the newest version
of all files is synced between dropbox and the iDevice. Next time you get to
your mac, and it's on line, it too has the latest version.
The most important thing is that, if you do not press the sync button in access
note, access note is not automatically synced. (smile, "sunc"?)

Thanks John. I already have the folder you described on my Mac. Should it not
sync if I copy a file, whether brf or txt, to that folder? I copied the file
under the AFB folder on the Mac.
As for braille, I am not going to deal with translation because I am just
going to read the braille files, should I ever get them in there. I will go and
look at everything again tomorrow. You've done everything you can think of to
help me with this, and I appreciate it.
Regards,
Gigi

Hi,
I usually let DropBox install itself where it deems necessary. Mine is in
I guess my user home folder, a sibling of Desktop, Documents and Music.
Also, When you tell AccessNote that you want to use dropbox, I think it has
you login to dropbox, then it makes folders under the main dropbox folder
apps/AFB Access Note and all your Access note files.txt go there.
As far as braille is concerned, I personally like taking charge, using text
files, typing ASCII braille and bypassing the various snags of braille
translation. If you have a braille display, you will see braille but, as I
said, you'll have to take responsibility and type the characters you want.

Hi there
I am doing something wrong that is preventing Drop Box from sending files
to AccessNote. Where on the Mac do you put the files so that Drop Box will then
find them? This is a file that I have on my Mac that I would like to put on
this old iPhone 4 with Drop Box. It started out to be an experiment, but now
it's getting more important. My PacMate is giving me trouble, and it's about 7
years old anyway. I don't want to spend a bunch more money on it.
The instructions in Access Note say that you can also attach a file to an
email message and it's supposed to be able to get the file that way. Brf files
are not supposed to be edited in Access Note according to the directions. But
you're supposed to be able to red them. It sounds like Access Note is the
program I need to read brf files, but I can't get files into it, and I know for
sure based based on what you said that I am doing something wrong here.
Regards,
Gigi

I may be missing the import of your question, but I use Access note now
regularly. But, I do not use it for braille or with braille. All I know is that
i have it "hooked up" with DropBox and I press the sync button rather
conscienciously and my stuff is usually properly sinced.

Hi Guys
It's a long story, but I am in the process of testing an iPhone 4 so
that I can consider reading brf files with it, until I decide to get my
much-wanted iPad. I've got it under my Apple ID and everything. I have copied
both Access Note and Drop Box to my iPhone. I have Drop Box on my Mac.
It says you can do this either with Drop Box or sending an email file
with the brf file attached. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Gigi
