Where EXACTLY is the Marvin 3 sync file in Dropbox?
I have linked Dropbox and got sync set up in Marvin 3, and it works great.
I'd like to know exactly where the Marvin 3 sandbox file is, but I cannot find it anywhere in my Dropbox. My Dropbox is practically empty, so I'm surprised I can't see it anywhere. It's not in the Apps folder so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Where the heck is it? |

Mine is in the Apps folder...but you may be able to put it in a different folder when you set it up??
\Dropbox\Apps\com.marvinapp\Sync |

I think I figured out the issue. Marvin 2 used Dropbox for its sync location, but Marvin 3 uses iCloud for this. I think, anyway.

Iirc, Dropbox changed its API in 2017 breaking compatibility in older apps so I'm surprised people can still use syncing via Dropbox in Marvin 2. |

I seem to recall that's why I switched from Marvin 2 to Marvin 3 (because the Dropbox integration was broken).

I broke my iPad Pro a month ago. My permanent replacement hasn't come in, so I haven't been able to access my iCloud files. Will all my Marvin 3 books along with their highlights and annotations be accessible once again? I backed my iPad regularly to the cloud, but I didn't use any in-app backup methods for Marvin3 specifically. I can access my "files" folder from my iPhone, but I don't see anything there.
