They're essentially the same kind of thing. They're both folders on your
devices. They both store files elsewhere. On the computer side, or in
the computer's case, files can get stored locally if you want them to
be, but on tablets and phones they are not ever stored locally because
if you have a large Dropbox you don't have that much storage in a phone
or tablet, therefore everything accessed online.

you using Dropbox as an example of a file storage in the cloud

transfer files? I’m asking because I use One Drive, and I’m wondering
if Dropbox is somehow a lot easier to use than One Drive.

There are a few ways to transfer files to and from an iOS or iPadOS
device, some geekier than others:
1. Via Dropbox
By far the easiest way is to put Dropbox on every computer, phone and
tablet you own. Just like iCloud, put something in Dropbox on one
device, it appears on all the others.
2. Purchase an external drive and adapter and use an application to
read that drive on your phone or tablet.
Attach the drive to your computer, load it up with whatever you want,
then plug it into your phone and transfer the files from the drive to
the phone using the Files or File Browser application.
3. From a Mac, just use iCloud Drive, or see below for how to set up a
network share:
4. Set up a network share on the system with the files to which you
want access:
Here's how to do it from the gospel according to Microsoft:

Here's how to do it on a Mac:

On the iOS or iPadOS device, open Files or File Browser (if you have
that application) and add a network share as appropriate. You'll need
the IP address of your computer, and a username/password to access it.
It's the same username/password you use to log into it for normal use.
If you don't log in to your Windows machine but, as I do, have the
thing come up at the Desktop and you've forgotten your username, you
can get that from Control Panel by searching for "user" and choosing
the appropriate option. Set up your Windows network share to be as
inclusive as you like because only you have access to it over your
local area network. Even those who visit your network won't have
access to it because they will presumably not know the password to
that system even if they know your username, so you're secure.

If the mp3 files are labeled in such a way that they will play in
the right order, like chapter01.mp3, chapter02.mp3 etc., my
favorite way to do this is to zip the files into one .zip file
with the name of the book as the file name, then import it into
Voice Dream Reader.
Voice Dream Reader will take a zipped audio book and use the file
name as the name of the book and each file then will be its own
chapter and you can pause and come back to where you left off, you
can drop bookmarks, etc.
Others may have suggestions too.

Hello,
I have SC20 updated to the latest version.
What can I do to transfer MP3 books from Windows pc to my iPhone?
Otherwise, can I do it from my Mac also?
