Now you can use Dropbox on and from your Amazon Kindle Fire.

After you sign in, you’ll be presented with your Dropbox account – all of your stored files.

Tap the appropriate button (if you already have a Dropbox account, tap I’m already a Dropbox user).

Finally, you’ll be presented with the Dropbox sign-in/sign-up window.

Now you’ll be presented with the ‘Dropbox overview’ – just tap Next until the overview is done.

Give Dropbox a moment or two for the installation….

Now you’ll be prompted to install Dropbox – as you would any other App on your Kindle Fire.

Tap the dropbox.apk file ( note: the file name may vary over time).

Once the download has completed, pull down the Notifications window.

You’ll notice a small ‘downloading’ icon appear in the Notifications section (upper left corner) of your Kindle Fire. It’s important to note the s in https – regular http will not work.

Now enter: in your browser’s address bar.

Return to your Kindle Fire Home Screen, and select Web from the navigation bar.

Change the Allow Installation of Applications From Unknown Sources entry from OFF to ON.

Scroll down and select Device from the Settings Menu.

Start out by “pulling-down” the Kindle Menu, and select More… from the list.

That doesn’t mean you can’t install it though – it just takes a few extra steps. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Dropbox on your Kindle Fire.Īs you have probably noticed, Dropbox is not available to download/install through the Amazon Market.
