    Why don't you give our app a go Sdhirst6? 

     

    To install the app on your Kindle follow these steps: 

     

    1. Tap the gear icon :gear: from the Kindle Fire's main screen (the icon is next to the clock)
    2. Tap "More"
    3. Tap "Device"
    4. Toggle the setting labeled "Allow Installation of Applications" to "On"—this will enable your device to install apps not in Amazon's Appstore.
    5. Download Dropbox from your Kindle Fire's browser
    6. Open the Dropbox install file by selecting it from your notifications bar. If you can't find it there, look for a "Downloads" application where your apps are located. If the Dropbox install file was successfully downloaded you should be able to locate it there and run the installation.

    Let me know how this goes. Thank you!

    Thanks for keeping me in the loop Sdhirst6 - I appreciate it and sorry to hear that. I guess this won't be possible due to its limited storage (I've did a little research and I see that it comes with 2 GB at the moment) and due to the restrictions Amazon has set. 

     

     

    If there's anything else I can do from my end to help, do let me know!
