    The Android mobile app is installed through the Google Play store. They don't offer the APK file for direct download.

    Hi @bvl96,

    Direct download is not possible from Dropbox website (don't ask me why) nor from Google play site. As Rich pointed, you can install the application using Google Play.

    If on your device is not available Google play service though, you can copy the apk from another device with installed Dropbox application. All applications apks installed on particular device are available in folder '/data/app' (or subfolder there). There are many applications that do this for you. Also, there are web services that extract apks from google play (in such a case no need a device with working Google play). Choose whatever way is convenient for you. 😉

    Hope this gives direction.
