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.

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???
- Walter3 years agoDropbox StaffI 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- Zefon3763 years agoHelpful | Level 5I'm excited to test this myself. If this IS what I find, that functionality alone would be worth the cost of admiss5. It would basically out perform a real SD CARD mount.
I work EXCLUSIVELY on mobile devices, and I tend to hold many more apps locally that I only use about 20%of the time, andA) I've had NO luck with other cloud services, andB) APK files don't always play nice with external storage implementations.
We'll see.
