Connect Dropbox

Read the books, comics, magazines and audiobooks in your Dropbox without downloading them all to your phone.

If you keep your books in Dropbox, Kevra can turn it into one more library. Your files stay in Dropbox; you only download what you're going to read.

Plus plan: connecting Dropbox needs the Plus plan.

How to connect it

In the Library tab, tap the name at the top to open Your libraries and, at the bottom, Add a library.
On Remote library, tap Add a library → Connect Dropbox.
Your browser opens: sign in to Dropbox and allow access.
When you see "Dropbox is connected", go back to Kevra. The library is already in the list (if not, pull down to refresh).
Open it and tap Choose folders to look only in the folders where you keep books, or Sync now to look at the whole account.

The first sync carries on in the background and we email you when it's done. More in Cloud libraries.

Books (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, FB2…), comics (CBZ, CBR…) and PDF magazines.
Audiobooks: an M4B is one audiobook, and a folder with several MP3s is a single audiobook, with its tracks in order.

Can Kevra change my files? No: the connection is Read-only. Kevra looks and downloads, but never uploads, moves or deletes anything.
Can I connect two Dropbox accounts? Yes. Each one is a library, named with the account's email. You can rename it (say, "Home Dropbox") from the three dots on its card → Rename.
What if I rename a folder I chose? Nothing happens: Kevra still recognizes it.
I use Moon+ Reader with Dropbox. Kevra can pick up your position and highlights from Moon+. See Migrate from another app.
It says "Connection expired". On Remote library, open the library's ⋯ menu → Reconnect. You don't lose anything you've read.
