I installed Simplemind Pro and have Dropbox installed on my rooted Galaxy S3 Android 4.4.2 phone.

I'd like to set up Simplemind to save and read files to Dropbox which it is supposed to do.

Below are your instructions on how to do this along with what happened when I followed them:

How to connect SimpleMind for Android to Dropbox

Make sure the Dropbox app for Android is installed. YES

Open SimpleMind and tap the Mind Maps button YES

Top left in this window's toolbar you'll see navigation tabs as depicted on the right. Initially this will usually be "Local". Tap that to see supported clouds and select Dropbox. YES

If Dropbox is not visible in this list, use "Cloud Setup" to enable Dropbox support. VISIBLE

Selecting Dropbox from the navigation Tabs, opens the build-in Dropbox Explorer. AN EXPLORER DOESN'T OPEN. THERE IS A TEXT BOX THAT SAYS "CONNECT TO DROPBOX". WHEN I SELECT THIS I GET THIS ERROR MESSAGE: "CANNOT SETUP DROPBOX: UNABLE TO ACCESS PUBLIC STORAGE".

In this Explorer authenticate with Dropbox using the "Connect to Dropbox" command. This prompts you for confirmation to let SimpleMind access your Dropbox folder. I NEVER GOT ANY SORT OF PROMPT TO LOGIN AND CONNECT.

I've been told that this is because Simplemind is not finding a public folder. I don't know if I have one, where it would be, how to set it up, etc.

Any ideas?
