Thanks for your reply. I want to be able to access my dropbox that I currently have on my desktop, on my iPhone and want it to sync with the changes I make on my desktop. I had this capability previously and don't know what happened that I no longer do. I use the OpenOffice calc program on my desktop, thinking this might be why I can't sync this to my iPhone? Thanks for your help.

Hey lvdw55 - sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify if you have both the Dropbox desktop app and the Dropbox mobile app installed on your devices?
If you'd like to sync files from your desktop to your mobile device, you should copy or move them into your Dropbox folder and work from there while the desktop app syncs your changes.
in any case, please let us know more and we'll take it from there.

Yes, I do have the app downloaded on my desktop and iPhone.
