How to download and save dropbox files on blackberry locally

mvm saikrishna — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:35:55 +0000

Unfortunately the dropbox for blackberry won’t allow to download files on to sd card or phone memory.
I even contacted dropbox regarding this issue. But still they don’t have any plans for this it seems!
So, I found a workaround for this problem.

Method 1:
If the files are pictures or pdfs or any document type of files, select the file and press menu key.
Select the “Add to favourites“. In this way, you can view them offline.

Method 2: (Recommended)
Select the file and press menu key.
Choose the option “Email link to this file“.
Now copy that link and open it in browser.
Click “download“ button to save the file locally.

Note:
The amount of data costed is same for downloading in browser or by native dropbox app.

Method 3: (For advanced users)
Open file manager and browse to dropbox folder on your sdcard.
Now you can see different folders with random names like “q342jfdbafdafaq13qrklmlvkfsb”.
Open that folders and you can find the files that you viewed on dropbox native app.

Note:
This is the cache dump location for dropbox.
