Hi, Just put whatever files you want to use with AccessNote in AccessNote's Dropbox folder and press the Sync button in the app. Then the files will show up.
As for a file having 0 bytes, I had that happen once too. I had used Pages to export a Pages file as plain text, and it used an encoding scheme the app didn't like, Latin Standard or something like that. I used TextEdit to save the file as UTF8, and it opened fine in AccessNote.
