If you have a Dropbox account, the Dropbox app is a no brainer to have on your iPad or iPhone.

It makes accessing your files from the cloud very simple. You can move files from other apps into Dropbox as well.

Once they are there, you can view them which can come in handy if you need to do a presentation. Just upload it to dropbox and then view it on the iPad.

Dropbox is essential for syncing and backups

Tough to review the app since its just a small part of the dropbox product offering, which is fantastic.

The dropbox iOS app does everything you need it do (sync files) and it does it well. There have been numerous times where I've been saved just by having the dropbox app on my phone.

Killer feature: automatic camera uploads

I wouldn't have gotten through grad school without Dropbox. It's great for reading over friends' term papers and PDF reading assignments.

files on the go: iPad & iPhone!

Never be in a client meeting and be looking for "that file" again. With Dropbox you can easily have access to all your important documents from your laptop, iPad, and of course iPhone all at the same time. The app is a feature add-on for the dropbox.com service that allows for you to virtually backup any files that you want to keep or have while you are away from your office.

A new way to stream video

I was never a huge fan of these types of services. Not because I'm paranoid about who owns my data (whoever can get to it) or privacy concerns (what's privacy? Oh yeah, something smart hackers are nice enough to give us much of the time) but because with google docs and other tools I'd just not needed to use something like this all that often. Until...

I started helping out a great org (BEARTREK- Find them on Facebook by that name) who has amazing videos that I always wanted to share with people. 90 seconds of amazing footage can tell a better story than I can, and you can usually get just about anyone to watch something awesome for 90 seconds. But of course much of the time, no matter how awesome my wireless connection or 3G speed I just couldn't get a quality stream. A jerky 90 second video that takes more than 2 minutes to watch doesn't really tell a story.

And then came my savior, Dropbox. I've put the video into Dropbox, starred it on the app and now it lives on my phone. I'm able to play it anywhere, wireless or not, quality connection or none, without having to sacrifice quality.

If you have multimedia that you're always wanting to share but can't figure out a way to do it this app is the answer. Thank you Dropbox for helping a nonprofit tell it's story!

I used to love this app until I found out recently, too late for me, hopefully not too late for u, that unless u buy a monthly subscription, which enuf of these $10/monthly subs, ur info goes away after a month. So although I was storing things that needd to b saved forever, they wer being discarded each month. Good lesson to read fine print!!

Even Better Now That It Is Supported

  • Posted by talugo October 06, 2010

I loved the concept of Dropbox when I first found out about it. The amount of storage provided, free of charge, is what drew me to the product.
Now that there are so many apps supporting Dropbox and using it for storage, it has become a necessity.
All the great text editors, note apps, scanners, productivity apps, file readers, and password keepers that partner up with Dropbox enhance the value of Dropbox.

It's free, get it, you can use it for the free storage, but I'm sure in the future you will need it for an app.

DropBox App

I love having access to all the files in my dropbox folder on my phone. I can listen to MP3 tracks that are saved (through QuickTime) in there as well as access documents and files. You can upload photos and videos either by taking one or by choosing something already existing on your phone. Really, really handy!

This is truly awesome! I no longer carry a thumb drive around at work. I can easily continue a project at home....limited only by the amount of storage you choose. I back up my 1Password and bank info on it..etc.

I am a professional photographer. I use my iPad to show clients images and slide shows. This app allows me to pop these up while at the clients location. This just WOW's the client and has literally made me money.

Nicely Designed App

Both the iPad version and the Mac version work very well and look great. Dropbox offers 2GB of space before charging a fee (which I think is totally reasonable). I just wish apple would make it a little easier for apps to integrate themselves with the iWork suite. It's tough to actually EDIT documents in Dropbox sometimes, but at least they are there. Works better than MobileMe for file sharing.

The solution to the lousy iWorks apps for iPad!

Dropbox is awesome and is an easy way to synch the files you need into folders in the cloud and then bring them down to the appropriate platforms- Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad. This was the best way for me to get Office files into Keynote, Numbers, and Pages. The importing via Dropbox wasn't perfect with Keynote or Pages , but it seemed to have less errors.

Plus you can just use Drobox to show off your Office docs. I also pulled them through Dropbox and into Goodreader and PDFReader Pro.

After the last update for this app brought it up to speed with the iPad the features can't be beat. You can now watch video from you Dropbox on your iPad, you can also listen to music that you might have stored there. This app simply Rocks. Not to mention you can't beat free 2gb of cloud storage. Which can be expanded to 8gb with friend invites at 250mb per new friend that you get to sign up for Dropbox.

This is a wonderful application that serves many file sharing functions. On the mac you'll se the DB icon in your main toolbar. Place files in the "drop" and segregate them for business associates, social activities, general purposes or for syncing between multiple machines in local or remote locations. Growl notification lets you be informed when changes are made by others. Love using this. So will you.

Dropbox does everything you want and nothing you don't. Using it to synch data to it's service from your desktop or iPod is simple to understand and works nicely and easily. The best way (even better than using my iDisk) to get data synched.
