In short, you need to:

1. Retrieve your old propgrams from Dropbox.
2. Transfer them to new BASIC app.

More detailed:

- go to dropbox.com website on you iOS device
- navigate to Dropbox / Apps
- select "smart BASIC" folder and download it
now you get "smart BASIC.zip" file in the downloads folder of your "Files" app
- unzip this archive by tapping on it
now you get "smart BASIC" folder with all your old programs
- share this folder with "BASIC" app
now you get all your old programs in new BASIC app

Hello mr Kibernetik.
Thank you for your quick response.
I am sorry but your procedure don’t work on my iPhone11.
The problem is just at the end to share the folder with SB v6.3 app. How to do that?
In the same way the reverse upload the folder Examples from SB v6.3 to Dropbox don’t work.
Thank you.

This is the iOS 15 standard sharing procedure:
In the Files app -> press and hold the folder you want to share -> action menu appears -> select "Share" -> destinations list appears -> select "smart BASIC" app.
Now this folder appears in BASIC files.

Sorry there is no Share choice at this point. The Share procedure is present only for one file. As I have many files and folders to transfer the SB6 is unusable. I will remove it from my iPhone.
Shame…

Sorry there is no Share choice at this point. The Share procedure is present only for one file.

This is how operations menu looks for a sample folder "My folder" in the Files app.
Note the "Share" menu item at the bottom of this menu:

You could move all your multiple files inside a single folder to simplify files transfer. But of course it's up to you how you manage your documents.

Ah surprise!!
There is no Share choice for me!!

[Mr. Kibernetik]

My device operates iOS 15.
And I am showing you the functionality of the standard iOS "Files" application.
But your interface looks very differently. Are you using the "Files" app to share your folder to BASIC?

[burns300]

Hourra!
It is OK!
The procedure is not very simple it exists…
Thank you Mr Kibernetik!

First I thank you for your help.
But I dont know why the upload of txt files to Files from my iPad (iPadOs 15.4.1) dont work while it is OK from my iPhone 11 (iOs 15.4).
Please do you have an explanation?
Thank you.
