If you’re one of those new million iPad owners then you need to know about Dropbox for iPad.
This free app is the missing link if you want to use your iPad for some light business. It works with the online Dropbox service, which offers you 2.2GB of free online storage. That storage syncs with your Mac or PC’s Home directory – where all your data sits – so you get access to all your most important files from wherever you happen to be.
We like Dropbox’ intelligent use of landscape mode when exploring your collection of files. We also like how easily the app lets you email files to others, or export supported files to other apps. Oh, better still while your credit card nurses your latest Apple gadget tax, the Dropbox for iPad app is free.
