Bring Dropbox to your Symbian Device in 5 easy Steps!

Bring Dropbox to your Symbian Device in 5 easy Steps!

Lately I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about the lack of a dedicatedDropbox 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:

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

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

5. Done! Your dropbox access is now setup and should look like this!

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”

All in one Android Phone Management Software

[by Ferose.Red, Powered By Mizaro Technologies]

I never liked Samsung Kies and used Windows Explorer for File and Media Management on Android Phone. Somehow, it is not so convenient and didn’t had option to backup Contacts and Messages. So, Dedicated Phone Management software was necessary.

Reading Caschy’s Blog, I came across Mobile Go software specially designed for Android Smartphones to manage Multimedia Files (Audio, Video and Photos), Contacts, Messages and many more!

Installation of MobileGo requires Mobile USB drivers to be already installed which if not, setup will prompt, download and install itself. Before connecting your phone to PC, USB Debugging mode should be activated as it installs MobileGo Daemon on Phone.

Interface of MobileGo is classified according to type of Files ad Content namely Contacts, SMS Messages, Music, Movies and Photos. You can add / edit / backup / restore Messages and Contacts in one click. Also, the Music and Movie management lets you organize playlists, add new songs to library or set them as ringtone.

Along with Data Management, it supports SMS / Contacts and Application Backup on demand which can be restored when needed. In my case however, it didn’t detect any Appliction installed (maybe because of Custom ROM) but SMS and Contacts backup worked fine.

Wondershare MobileGo is really a wondrous software and worth a try for complete Android Phone Management right from Windows Desktop.

Note: For Samsung Mobile USB Drivers, you may face problem related to Shewsbury which will ask you to restart Computer again and again. To avoid that, Kill that application from Windows Task Manager and Don’t press Exit button on Window.
