Subject: [Talks] Bring Dropbox to your Symbian Device in 5 easy Steps!
Hi all. I have tried this, and it works, and is accessible. Woohoo! Not
sure how easy it is to pay them though, which is necessary if you pay for
Dropbox storage.
Below are the easy instructions, taken from

Enjoy!
Reminder: Bring Dropbox to your Symbian Device in 5 easy Steps!
Lately I've seen a lot of people complaining about the lack of a dedicated
Dropbox Application for
Symbian.
Sure it would be nice to have one, as the apps on both,
Android
and iOS are really well done. but it seems most people don't know that you
can have a much much better way to browse your files on Symbian than the
mobile
web app. What better than having Dropbox integrated directly into the
Filemanager? It's easy, it's free (if you have a free Dropbox account) and
its very
fast to setup! And here's how its done:
1. Visit
dropdav.com
and sign up - you just enter your dropbox credentials and that's it! This
is free if you have a free Dropbox account, but will cost you a monthly
fee if
you have 50 or 100GB running. In case you are interested how this works,
here's a bit from dropdav's website:
block quote
DropDAV is a translator. It seamlessly translates communication between
your WebDAV client, over the WebDAV standard, and Dropbox, via the
powerful Dropbox
API.
Note: Dropbox imposes a file upload limit of 300 MB. Bigger files must be
uploaded using the Dropbox Application.

2. Grab your Symbian Phone (this even works with older ones!) and open the
built-in file manager
SymbianDropbox1
3. Hit options - map new drive

4. In the following screen enter as follows:
Name: anything you like
Address: https://dav.dropdav.com
Access Point: choose your prefered setting
Username: your dropbox username
Password: your dropbox password
SymbianDropbox3
5. Done! Your dropbox access is now setup and should look like this!
SymbianDropbox4
You can now enter Dropbox, hit options and connect. your content will now
be shown and you can start using the content, f.e. downloading it via
"copy into
folder"
