paperwhite and dropbox
I am going crazy trying to find out how to use a dropbox to send books to my Kindle Paperwhite. Looks like maybe not possible... Thanks

On the last disk I attached there was a file: .dropbox.device that has both hidden and system attributes set.
If I remove this file, will the popups stop happening.
The "Do not ask again" box is specific to the device you've plugged in, and Dropbox writes the .dropbox.device file to be able to identify that specific device and never ask you about it again. It does not prevent Dropbox from asking the question for other drives connect. To do that, you need to disable it in Dropbox Preferences on the Backup tab.
