Guest Brianrh Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 I've just installed Dropbox on my home and work PC's and my Android San Francisco. After playing around with retrieving podcasts and ebooks on the PC's I expected to be able to do the same with the SF. I expected to be able to find my files in a folder on the SD card but I couldn't find one. I can see the files in the Dropbox app and stream them to play/read them. Is this how the files are supposed to be used or should there be a folder containing them on the SD card? Thanks. Brian

Brian Sadly this is the way the mobile app works, its all online instead of downloaded to the sd card.
Guest Brianrh Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Sadly this is the way the mobile app works, its all online instead of downloaded to the sd card. That's a shame as I can't use my preferred mp3 player or read epubs even though I have two ebook reader apps on my SF. Is there any other file sharing system which will allow you to synchronize and download files? Thanks. Brian
Guest Pully Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 you can download files from the dropbox app to your sd card and using Titanium Media Sync from marketplace I think you can keep folders synced.

Guest GaryJH Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 You can also download to your SD card from the Dropbox app. Once you've found the file you want in the app, long press on it and you should get a menu with a Download option. For me, this has created a folder called dropbox on the SD card, containing the same folders as I have in dropbox. The only folder that contains any real files is the one that I selected 'Download' for from the app
