iOS on iPad and iPhone not recognising RM8 files on Dropbox

RM8 won’t save to dropbox so I place a copy in the appropriate folder but only RM7 files are seen by the iPad and iPhone RM App. Any suggestions? Windows 10 .

Are you SAVING or EXPORTING?
You need to Export.

Your RM8 file is an RMTREE file. It must be converted to an RMGC file that the mobile app can read. You can’t simply make a copy of your RMTREE file and rename it to RMGC or anything like that because there must be a conversion process. To run the conversion process, the steps are File => Export => Dropbox. What happens when you run these steps?

Thanks Jerry, I was using the window that pops up when you close the file but I realise that this only produces a backup file.

I’ve now found the export route and all’s fine now.
Thanks again, Frank

I was saving a backup and then tried to copy the rmtree file directly to Dropbox!

I’ve now found the export route.

Thanks
