Apps or whatever and could access it and download it to my phone from the dropbox app. This one it doesnt allow you to upload to it from the device and you cant download from it either. if i want to get something from my dropbox i have to email myself the share link. that is totally useless

I can upload and download with this app on my 9630. Works great.

Following that argument you wouldn't need Dropbox either for Moment, just email yourself..

I guess you have to be in my shoes to see how it fits so well for me...
Scenario: I have excell files that need simple text input daily, I get the info when I'm away from office....so the files are in Dropbox...
I have Dropbox on BB...gather info, open Dropbox, open file then edit save update, close Dropbox....get back to office and data is there waiting so I can then apply to program without having to go find my notes and enter data...

Works perfectly, I don't need to create and upload files nor download, but I do need to access and edit. Dropbox does this.

The moment wont allow .apks to be downloaded via email. but i guess it isnt that big of a deal. i just wanted more from dropbox

Zip?

But yeah it would be nice to have mor functionality.

yeah you could zip then email. but just dropping them in the dropbox was easier

I just place a file in the dropbox folder on PC and then open the app on 9630 and refresh. It shows up and I download onto phone.
