I had updated a few camera clips on my Dropbox last year. There are total 30 clips. I was playing them directly through dropbox on my internet connection. Mostly on wifi. Now for a week I am going to friends place. I want some way through which I can download those Dropbox video directly in the internal storage of ipad. How can I do that. I had installed the app but it still stream videos on wifi only.
You can do that through your pc. That will be more easy. You can install dropox app and you can just copy paste the videos in your iPad. This is quiet simple. I do not think Dropbox has a any direct feature to transfer your video files. It stream the content online through internet. And if you are on your regular telecom network then this thing will be lot more slower. So just download it on your pc and move it.
There is no option for that. I am also trying to find a direct way to copying flies in the internal storage of ipad. But it is not possible. The file are still on the cloud storage. The above solution will work if you have a mac or windows based pc. You can just download those and move them. Dropbox must add a sync option. Through which you can sync the file directly in the internal storage. This will be far more easier and better.
You can do that through Cydia. There is a app available for that. But to do that you have to jailbreak your phone and this will void the warranty. If you are ready to go ahead with the procedure then post back. I will give you detail steps on the same. There are few apps which work only after jailbreaking the device. You cannot even instal cydia in your phone if it is not jailbreaked. The process is also available on may website.
There are few things you have to check. See that your phone has ample of storage left. There are chances that due to lack of storage drop box does not shows up the option to download the videos. I am also trying to find out a possible solution that will work. Dropbox must have something for offline viewing. You can delete the files later on which will be downloaded back again. There are some other cloud sharing apps which have this feature.
It is very simple to add a file for offline viewing. You can not only add videos, but you can also add text and music files. All you have to do is just mark them as favorite. The file will be downloaded back on the internal storage of your device. It is very simple and easy to use. I had done this on my iPod. I was looking for some way through which I can access my music files offline. I found once you tap on favorite button the files are downloaded in the internal storage.
