We recently went through some of the best ways to share files with a nearby computer , and many of you noted that Dropbox can still be a viable syncing method, even over Wi-Fi. Here's how to set it up. In our rundown, we noted that Dropbox, while one of our favorite services ever, isn't ideal for sharing with your friend sitting right next to you. While you can use Dropbox to share files with anyone, you usually have to upload it and download it from Dropbox's servers first (which takes longer than sharing over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or the other sharing options we mentioned). However, if both you and your friend have a Dropbox account, you can , in fact, use it to share files over your Wi-Fi network. All you need to do is share a folder from Dropbox's web interface.

Digital Inspiration (via FRAndroid , merci Benjamin ) propose un pas-à-pas pour imprimer de son téléphone sur n'importe quelle imprimante en passant par Dropbox .

On sait comment envoyer un document créé sur iOS à Dropbox : certaines applications sont intégrées à ce service Web, et on peut utiliser Habilis pour les autres (lire : Astuce : envoyer des fichiers vers Dropbox par mail ). Si vous utilisez Habilis, soit vous utiliserez le dossier Habilis comme boîte de réception pour votre imprimante, soit vous utiliserez en plus l'application Dropbox pour déplacer le fichier que vous souhaitez imprimer vers un dossier qui sera réservé à l'impression.
