I uploaded a few audiobook (mp4) files to my dropbox and want to save them on my phone in ibooks. I don't see ibooks listed in the export options. How do I add it? Or is there a different way to save these files?

Hey @UnsinkableMoo,
I'd be glad to follow-up on that!
Please keep in mind that based on a quick search I did online, I could see that iBooks can be saved on your devices as ePub files. Dropbox can't preview this filetype, though these can be transferred across devices using Dropbox if you put them inside the Dropbox folder.
If you've got iBooks on your computer, you could use these steps:
#1. Open the ePub files in iBooks (on your Mac).
#2. Copy the ePub files from iBooks into the Dropbox folder on your computer. Please keep in mind that everything you put in Dropbox will automatically be synced with the Dropbox app on your iPhone/iPad.
#3.On your phone, you could tap the file in Dropbox to open this particular file format, or export it to your device and use an application that can open this particular filetype.
Because you mention that these files are mp4 (audiobooks), though, could you please let me know whether you've converted them? Any additional details would be really helpful.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Warm regards,
JaneA

Did this ever get bumped up and answered? Still can’t find iBooks as option.
