I had same problem with Dropbox while installing MMEx and Dropbox on a new Galaxy Tab A 8 (2017) tablet. Finally resolved it by making sure all permissions were allowed for both apps. Then used Open Database and navigated to the path: "Galaxy Tab A 8/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/U190835669/scratch/dropboxfolder/filename.mmb. The device name, dropbox folder, and file name will be unique to each user. I got there by trial and error using the Open Database command, then clicking on all the choices presented by each of the next dialog boxes, until I found the path to the database file in my Dropbox. Since Dropbox was not a choice in the initial dialog box, I chose the device name, and continued from there. Hope this helps others with a similar problem.

It would seem at present that there is no light at the end of the tunnel for the Android version MMEX. I have just got a new Android phone which had MMEX pre-installed. However, upon opening it and linking DropBox ect. I cannot open a database from DropBox. I have tried saving my desktop database as a.mmb file into the correct part of DropBox but it still doesn't work. Is there actually any hope that this will be resolved by an update?

I'm using version 2019.04.10.100.1000-beta and I just sync the actual database file itself with my favorite cloud provider (not dropbox) and don't click the "synchronize" button. It works flawless.

The database file path is:

/ Android / data / com.money.mamanger.ex / files / databases / yourfile.mmb

The other user above opened the database directly in his dropbox path and said it works fine.

Hi
I have been using MMex on PC and android for several years now. With Android you will have to use an older version of of the program and never update. Make sure it does not update automatically. This has worked for me for the last 18 months.
