Unfortunately the official Dropbox app for Android is quite limited and doesn't do full synchronisation (this is to avoid running out of storage on your device). All of your OpenSong files will be inside a folder called OpenSong at the specified storage location. The storage folder being used is noted next to the internal, external, or other storage choices - not the one that is highlighted. To check where OpenSongApp currently stores your files, go the the right hand options menu, choose the Storage category and select 'Manage storage'. You want to merge the songs on your app with other songs stored in a Dropbox/OpenSong/ folder (from a PC, etc.,) - no further action needed. You have an empty Dropbox/OpenSong/ folder and you want to use the songs on your app to fill this shared folder - no further action needed.

You can use the backup option in the storage menu of you want to keep these songs in case. Clicking on the red button will wipe your Android songs folder - This will prevent the upload of my version of songs which may overwrite the ones you already have in your Dropbox account. Open the right hand options menu, choose the Storage category and select 'Manage storage'. OBVIOUSLY DON'T DO THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DELETE THE SONGS ON YOUR TABLET! I strongly advise you to reset the local Songs folder on your Android device. You already have songs and sets stored in a Dropbox/OpenSong/ folder and you want the app to use these as the main resource.

If all is well, your PC is now set up correctly!īefore continuing, decide which option best suits your needs: To check everything is working, try creating a simple song on the desktop app and browse to your /Dropbox/OpenSong folder to look for it. You may have to restart the desktop version of OpenSong for any changes to take effect. I would strongly recommend that you copy this folder rather than moving it - this will be a backup should you need it! This should include the Songs and Sets folders. in your OpenSong desktop program and want to move them to the shared Dropbox folder, use your computer's file manager and copy the entire contents of the default storage location (*noted earlier) into the Dropbox/OpenSong/ folder. Click on 'Custom' and browse to the /Dropbox/OpenSong/ folder you have just created then click on 'OK'. Under the File Locations tab you will see where OpenSong currently stores your files (*note where this is if you want to move your current desktop OpenSong files to the Dropbox folder).

Go to the settings menu and select General settings.
