Ah, I see. There are cables and other means to connect his iPad to your computer indeed. However, you’d need to check this with a local shop/manufacturer, since we can’t provide support I’m afraid. 

 

As for creating a Dropbox account for him, you can go to the App Store on his iPad and install the Dropbox mobile app from there. Upon opening the app, there should be an option to create a Dropbox account.
