AFAIK there's no end-to-end encryption; though Dropbox claims to store your data encrypted, they could always read it (and so could anybody with the necessary "power", if you know what I mean (you've read the news the past 7 months, I guess)). | |

You get something like 5 extra gig for doing simple tasks like linking your accounts. All of your legal / illegal files are completely safe. Only you and a peeping tom over your shoulder can see your files. There is no file size limit. This is better than usb because your files will forever be backed up on drop box unless you delete them | |

Or WiFi for that? And what the limits of the data plan are? How much data should be transfered? Or whether there's a firewall blocking access to Dropbox? Or whether it's sensitive data ("media" could involve very personal photos) OP wouldn't want to trust to the cloud? With the device next to my computer, why should I use a cloud service at all? What's the pros, the cons? We like some quality answers here, common :) | |

When that is done simply download the app aptly named dropbox. Sign in the download the file on your device. This only takes a few minutes and you could do this with any file. From music to video. From a word document to an APK. Even files that your computer doesnt understand (maybe a file only compatible with macs or iphones) | |
