Diagram 24: Wi-Fi upload

A message is displayed asking you to connect with your computer browser to a local address (like http://192.164.0.13:8080). On your computer, open your browser and navigate to that address (NOTE: your computer must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Android device). You will see a web page with upload options for files and licenses - select them from your computer and click upload, and repeat the operation until all of your files are uploaded. Click the “Finish Wi-Fi Upload” button in Safeguard Viewer when you are done to finish the upload process. 5. Cloud file storage (i.e. Dropbox, Microsoft SkyDrive, or similar) Install a cloud file storage system on your computer and your Android device and follow the instructions to synchronize files between devices. Dropbox instructions One way of transferring files from a PC or Mac computer to your Android device is to use an application known as Dropbox. This creates a ‘cloud’ file storage system that allows you to upload files, movies, pictures and so on, that you can share across your account or also with other people. You can use it to make PDC files and licenses downloaded onto your PC/Mac available to upload to your Android device. To do this you need to download the Dropbox application onto your Android device, and that means setting up an account with Dropbox. Dropbox may be found in the Google Play Store, or at www.dropbox.com.

Once you have installed Dropbox on your device, you must then download the Dropbox application onto either the PC or Mac, and log on to the account that you created. That links the accounts together. As soon as you have done that, the Dropbox app will open a virtual folder where you can drop files to be synchronised between the PC and your Android device. So from the PC end you can drop files into the Dropbox folder and they will become available to the Android device dynamically, and at the Android end, files, pictures and so on that are on the Android are made available for download into the PC.
