I have an android phone, and have installed MobileOrg; I'd like to use
the dropbox support.  I seem to have logged in okay via MobileOrg, as I
see "Dropbox authentication".  Should the "MobileOrg" folder 
have been created for me on my Dropbox site?  (It looks like it is
automatically created on the iphone app).  Nothing was created, either
before or after attempting to sync.  So, I then manually created
"MobileOrg" folder, and tried to "Sync" again, but no joy.

I have also installed the Dropbox app, and can confirm that my phone can
browse my Dropbox folder using that app.

Any hints for how to debug?  thanks.

Stephen

No you need to create the folder from the Emacs side.

Example setup;

1. Install dropbox on your linux/windows box
2. Make sure its started (setsid ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd)
3. mkdir ~/Dropbox/syncdir
4. From emacs 
   (setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/syncdir")
   M-x org-mobile-push
5. From Android, Settings -> Configure Synchronizer -> Path
      /syncdir/index.org

6. From Android: Sync & Enjoy

I recently submitted a few patches for org-mobile android developer,
that fix a few annoying problems (ie back button resetting the view to
1st element), there should be a new version released soon with these fixes.

Thank you very much Max!  This works great.  Thanks for your help, and
to Matt Jones for the app.
