I can't believe there are 21,000 individual little files, but I have five backups for each project.
The tutorial really needs to explain every step of this dropbox prep and how to open an existing file in the app. Not a mention and yet it's probably the first thing all of us are trying to figure out. Just a hint for next update.
If this 7 1/2 hours is the wrong way, wow.

Are you sure you want to have access to ALL your Scrivener projects on you iDevice? ALL of them? Everything you have ever worked on in Scrivener?
The simplest way of doing it is to open the projects you are working on, and then "Save as.." to the correct location in your Dropbox folder.

Are you moving them in Finder? Dropbox is just another folder in Finder, or at least that is the way you should handle it. And moving files within Finder doesn't Zip anything.
