Recently my laptop was put out of commission. Since then I've downloaded some music into my iPad's Dropbox app. I would like to move this from Dropbox to the Music app, but I'm not sure of a way to do it without my laptop. Any help would be great. The only ways to get music into Music.

Unfortunately because of the way iOS is architected it is not possible to take music from third-party apps or websites and put them into Music. Basically, you'll need some computer to import the songs into iTunes. It doesn't have to be your computer, just one that can either sync the tracks to the device or get them into iTunes Match. Once you have the sync, you can delete your songs from that computer.

You can play the songs from Dropbox by streaming them locally using the dropbox app or mobile safari if you save them to a shared folder and it will cache the songs locally as long as you have room. But, it's not the same as having them in the music app which is sandboxed and can't see the dropbox files directly.

The only downside to syncing from a second computer is that you'll have to wipe the existing music or manage manual syncing until you have a computer again.

It doesn't allow you add songs to "Music" but it does allow you to play songs from your Dropbox when your device is offline or in airplane mode. It works for what I needed. It is virtually impossible to take your music from dropbox into iTunes only using your iPad.

If you use a computer and drag them from Dropbox into your iTunes then you can easily sync your iPad to your computer. You should be able to export the what you want by going to the Dropbox app and clicking on what you want and then clicking on the symbol that has the arrow pointing into the box.

It has a simple-to-use interface for managing multiple files and folders. Its web-based service allows users to access their data from any computer with an internet connection, even from the remote internet.

When you synchronize your dropbox folder to your computer, it will only be synchronized to your computer when you specify the time and date you want it to be synchronized. This makes it easy to manage multiple files or folders. You only have to select two items to sync, instead of having to select all the files or folders. I can't find it. My attempt to download an mp3 to my ipad started with clicking the mp3 file, which made it play.

So I paused it and hit the square with upward pointing arrow it's probably got a name, but I don't know it. This revealed a pop up headed 'Airdrop'. I don't want to share this file, I just want to download it. I tried moving the file into a folder, but the Dropbox app on iPad seems very limited. Posted on Jan 23, AM. Sep 7, AM.
