If you use more than one Android device, there are times when you wish that cloud services give you the option to export important files not just to your smartphone or tablet’s internal storage, but to an SD card. Well, Dropbox has probably heard of that need and is now allowing you to do so with their newest update.
While it is handy to have important documents like trip itineraries, vacation photos and crucial office documents on the cloud, there are still times when you want them on a physical drive so it would be easy to transfer from one device to another. This was the job of flash drives, and a long time ago, floppy drives (you do remember that right?). But now, SD cards are the most convenient way to transfer a file from your smartphone to a tablet or laptop and vice versa.
Dropbox makes it easy. Just tap on the Quick Action button beside your file, choose the more button, then export then save to device. It will then give you the option as to save it in your internal storage or on your SD card. If you don’t see an option for an SD card, go to the menu on your save to screen, click settings then display advanced options. Try the save to device step again and you’ll see your SD card there now.
Aside from this new option, version 2.4.5.10 has also improved search options as well as improved support for the upcoming Android L (we still have no idea what dessert it will finally be). The update is currently rolling out but if you still haven’t received it, you can manually update by going to your Google Play Store.
