...or (for when you're home,) just use the content server like I do. 
I personally find either method to be so much faster than dealing with the dropbox app. |
If you change your library as much as I do calibre2opds is not an option. It takes too long to generate files, too long to reupload them and each time I need to update my library which is sometimes several times a day I have to go through the process again. It took 15 minutes last time I tried calibre2opds to Dropbox.
I don't leave my PC running when I am not at my desk so Dropbox works great for me. I keep my entire library on there and email a book using my email app to my Kindle or download the book to my Tablet for Mantano using Dropbox and ES File Explorer.
If you just used the other method you can't use plugboards or rename the file automatically like Save to Disk or Send to Device does. I like my series info in the file name.
You could skip ES File Explorer all together by setting Mantano to synch with your Dropbox Folder on your device if you wanted to. That way you just download the book then hit synch button in Mantano. I keep all my epubs in one folder. I like my devices to stay organized and tidy.
