3.
After you log in, the next time you
open the
Dropbox app, you will
immediately be taken to your
Dropbox shared folders.
4.
Tap any folder to open it or tap any
document to open and view it. First,
the file is downloaded to your
DROID; second, you are asked how
you want to open and view the file.
5.
Depending on the type of file you
tap, you will either see the file open
immediately (like a picture) or be
asked which app you would like to
use to open the file. In the image to
the right, we tapped a
.pdf
file, so
we were asked which application to
use. If you always want to use the
same app, then tap the
Checkbox
icon at the bottom next to the text
that says,
Use by default for this
action .
Moving Files From Your Computer to Your DROID
Once the software is set up on your computer and your DROID, you can drag-and-drop or
copy-and-paste files into your
Dropbox
folder on your PC or Mac. Within a few minutes of
doing this, that document will appear in the Dropbox app on your DROID. The same thing
works in reverse: if you place a new file in the
Dropbox
folder on your DROID, it will appear
in minutes in the
Dropbox
folder on your computer (see Figure 21–3).
