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.
