Nook for Android and Dropbox

flyash · 03-15-2011, 04:42 PM

Is there a way to point Nook for Android to a dropbox folder?

Currently I copy my Calibre custom recipe 'books' to my dropbox. Then I have to download the books within dropbox on the phone. And finally I have to copy the books from the dropbox folder to the Nook/My Documents folder. It would be nice to save that last step.

If you are on Nook Color, then yes, you can use dropbox IF you root. If you are Nook classic - sorry I don't know the answer.

I have my whole Calibre library in my dropbox - Love the convenience.

I'm referring to the Nook Android app, not the Nook device.

I haven't tried it, but possibly you could create a symbolic link between one folder and the other (there would just be one folder but a file sent to the other folder name would go to this folder). It's a fairly common Unix tool.
