Upload APK files

Can I upload APK files to Dropbox?
I'm not talking about the select set of integrated apps Dropbox uses; im talking about regular, non-split APK files, of small to moderate sizes.

    I don't see why not, but note that Dropbox isn't responsible for handling the extraction of the APK file, but your device and the software you'd be using to extract it. 

    Let us know if you have any other questions Zefon376

    Hey Zefon376, thanks for posting your question to our Community today!

    You can upload any kind of file you want to Dropbox.

    Of course, you wouldn't able to open the .apk files, say, on our website, but you'd be able to upload them.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

      After upload and download, the APK package (APP) would extract and function as-normal???
