Use Dropbox to Easily Install Non-Market Android Apps [Android]

Android phones allow users to grab apps outside the official Market, but it surely usually involves either USB transfer or some tricking browser navigation. Lifehacker reader cinnamonster points out the smarter solution-use the Dropbox file syncing app to grab installers.

Grab the app you will want from a whole-fledged browser to your desktop, then drop it in Dropbox to your system. I created an Android Apps folder for the purpose, however it\’s not necessary. Then open up the Dropbox app in your Android phone, navigate to that .apk file you downloaded, and click it there. Your phone will open up its installer, and you\’ll be prepared to move. You\’ll also must have non-Market sources enabled on your Applications settings.
