If you’re looking for access to your Dropbox files we’d recommend grabbing a copy of the excellent and free Dropbox app for your iOS device (we have a walkthrough of the iPhone version here).Īlternately if you’re interested in accessing a variety of cloud-based and server-based sources like Dropbox, MobileMe, WebDAV, and FTP, you should check out Air Sharing ($2.99-6.99). FileBrowser and NetPortal are designed to help you access shares on your local network (or remotely access those shares if you have configured your router to allow outside access). Take a moment before we go any further to make sure you have at least one folder shared for testing purposes. If you need help configuring file sharing on your machine we’d suggest checking out our past tutorials for Windows, Mac, and Linux simple file sharing.
