Super User IIDoes Dropbox sync other files if you add them? e.g. if you add a photo to the iPad Dropbox does it appear on Mac?

If the files appear normally on the Dropbox side of things, then there may be some other issue with the Scrivener app. Have you ensure that it's connected to Dropbox correctly?
Have you tried contacting the developers for further assist with their app?
Yes, it's possible it's on their end. I did contact them for support a while back (when I first came across this issue), and they suggested a few solutions (such as doing a complete reset, uninstalling and reinstalling Scrivener), which did temporarily fix the problem, but now it's started happening again and I thought it was worth exploring if there is a fix on the Dropbox side of things, as their solution didn't work. Seems like Scrivener app and Dropbox are not communicating properly.
