My primary use case for Dropbox, actually, is getting videos onto my iPhone. You can't simply drag and drop a video file into the phone as a mass storage device. With ITunes, the sync feature purportedly sync the video to the device, and consumes space accordingly, but there's no way to access the video on the device. It's actually way faster for me to upload a video to Dropbox from my computer, and download the video on the Dropbox app into my photos. The video quality is excellent, too!
- douche 10y agoWhat a magnificent Goldbergian solution! The needless complexity of simple tasks is sometimes breathtaking.
- puranjay 10y agoThis is one reason why I sold my iPad. I just couldn't figure out its cloud storage system. Android makes it so much easier - just install a file manager and you're good to go.
- ulfw 10y agoThis drives me crazy too and it is embarassing that on iOS after ten versions we still can't easily add a video media file easily. When I am short on time or not on my personal Mac I airdrop a video file to the iPhone/iPad. Sadly it ends up in the PHOTOS sphere, not the Videos app/internal directory. So the play controls are odd and it does not continue playing when exiting out. But it works. Kind of.
