(1) starting your PC,
(2) starting the Digital Paper app on your PC
(3) drag and drop files within the app from the PC to the DPT-RP1.

Terrible for productivity. What you want is the device automatically download new documents when they are uploaded to certain folders in the cloud.
Agreed. I use the GoodReader app on my iPad to read PDFs, and it can automatically sync to a wide range of Cloud services, including Dropbox. As you say, it's a key requirement for many use cases.
