Dear list,
I'm having trouble setting up org-mobile in emacs for use with
MobileOrg on Android. I have the following in my init file:
;; org-mode OrgMobile
(setq org-directory "~/Documents/Org") ;; my folder is empty
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/MobileOrg")
(setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull "~/Documents/Org/notes.org")
In ~/Documents/Org, I have a file notes.org that contain my notes.
When I call org-mobile-push, only 4 files get created in ~ /Dropbox/MobileOrg:
agendas.org, checksum.dat, index.org, and mobileorg.org.
Based on my understanding, ~/Documents/Org/notes.org should be copied
to ~/Dropbox/MobileOrg/, and a link to notes.org should be created in
index.org. However, this does not happen. Am I not configuring
things correctly or am I misunderstanding how to use org-mobile?
I also tried setting:
(setq org-mobile-files (quote "notes.org"))
but this does not work either.
Thanks for your help.

Why is that folder empty?

I think it's preferrable to use an org file you don't use otherwise as
inbox. When pulling from MobileOrg, all notes you caputed on your phone
will go there so that you can refile them.

The latter is where MobileOrg puts its changes in.

The default value is (org-agenda-files), so it should push all your org
files to `org-mobile-directory'. What does C-x C-e after the closing
paren above return?
My settings are
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/Desktop/Dropbox/MobileOrg")
(setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull "~/repos/org/from-org-mobile.org")
which work pretty well.
Bye,
Tassilo

Setting the following made it work (file copied to MobileOrg's staging
directory):
(setq org-mobile-files (list "~/Documents/Org/notes.org"))
