starting out

[David Nelson]

I am brand new to Go.  I put my file in dropbox from my computer then opened dropbox on ipad and selected devices and 'download' and it says it put the file on my ipad.  I downloaded FMGo and I can open FMGo but it does not show my file.  It only shows template files. I have tried everything.  Please help me get started.  What do I do to copy my file into the filemaker directory so FMgo can see it?  I cannot find files at all on ipad.  I cannot find where it put my Fm file.

The chances are it didn't put your file anywhere. If the iPad had actually downloaded the file you would have been confronted with the "Open With" dialog. Try downloading the file again and when the dialog comes up choose FM Go.

Hi Rick

ipad keeps saying the file is downloaded onto my ipad from dropbox but it is not seen in the list of files when I open FMGo.  Any ideas what to try next?  Thank you.

In the Dropbox app, tap on the file and then on the 'share' button... You will see the option to 'Open in...' Tap that, and you will see 'Copy to FileMaker Go'... Tap that and the file will be copied into FileMaker Go and opened... See attached...
