It is important that you use the above link, because doing so will grant BOTH of us an extra 500mb of storage. Here are the steps to sign up and get some free storage space (you start with 2GB, but you should have over 6GB almost immediately IF you follow these instructions). You can access your dropbox folder just like you would any other folder on your own computers, (almost) no matter what operating system you use, and on other computers where you can't install the client, you can use your internet browser to access your files (you could do this on your own computer, too, but it would be more tedious than just using the folder). I'm sure you can think of other uses, also. Even if you don't have lots of work that you might need to carry around, you could also use this for storing your music to stream wherever you are. It is useful for working on projects in more than one place, since you won't have to worry about emailing files to yourself, losing your usb drive, or just having to wait until you are at the appropriate computer.
If you are concerned with security, this is not an app you will want to get.Dropbox is a cloud storage utility. There is another app – Downloader for Dropbox – that can do the same thing, but it requires you to enter your Dropbox’s username and password instead of the oauth authentication method. The larger the file size, the longer it takes to complete the download. The downloading process will be dependent on the file size of the folder. If you select “Yes”, do take note that the process is not interruptible. It will then prompt you if you want to start the download. Select the location in your SD card to export the folder to. You can either press the “Download all to…” button at the bottom of the screen to download all the folders, or long press at a single folder until the “Download folder to…” popup appear.Ĥ.

After the authentication, it will bring you back to the app where you can select the folder in your Dropbox account that you want to download. This will launch the Dropbox app and prompt you to allow access to the Folder Downloader app. Make sure the Dropbox app is already installed in your Android phone.
