Hi Brad, If you've already created a database on Android and sync'd it to Dropbox then in Windows, Select the "Database" menu item and then "Open Database". Browse to the Dropbox folder containing the database sync'd from your Android device. By default this will be in [Dropboc Folder]/Apps/UPM. If you haven't yet created a database then I'd suggest creating a new database on your Android device, syncing it to Dropbox, and then following the instructions above to open it on Windows. Hope that helps....

HI folks. I've not found any problems with UPM on Windows 11. Syncing via Dropbox also works. If anyone is still have issues with UPM on Windows please share the details, i.e. error messages, steps to reproduce the error. In most cases the problem is a missing Java runtime. I posted above how to install Java, https://sourceforge.net/p/upm/discussion/517033/thread/d592049bd7/#3947

Hi Gary. Yes, my plan is to update/fix the Windows app over the coming days.

The new version is a available on the Play store now. Didn't take very long after all.

It may be a few days until the updated version of the app appears on the Play store. It needs to go through a review with Google. They said it should be done within 7 days. Hopefully it won't be too long.

Hi folks. I've just released a new version of UPM on Android that should address the Dropbox sync issue. @Brad I don't understand why UPM isn't showing up in the Play store on some devices. It certainly should. The new version I've just released includes updates to the target SDK versions, i.e. the versions of Android that the app works with. This may help resolve the problem you've seen. I'll be looking into the Dropbox sync issues on Windows over the coming days.

Brad Kusik, what error message are you getting when you attempt to start UPM? If this is the message, Windows cannot find "javaw". Make sure you've typed the name correctly, then try again. This means you're missing the Java runtime. To install this, 1. Go to https://www.microsoft.com/openjdk 2. Click "Download" 3. Download the latest version for your operating system. The latest version for Windows today is microsoft-jdk-25.0.1-windows-x64.exe. 4. Run the file you've downloaded to install Java....

Hi folks. Sounds like something changed on the Dropbox side. I'll look into. I might need a few days. It's been a few years since I've worked on UPM so I need to get my Android tooling back up and running (and reacquaint myself with the code). Delighted to hear you still find UPM useful 😊 Adrian
