Our Ukulele Club has been using Dropbox to share our music for almost a year now. This has made it so much easier on our members because we haven’t had to lug around a bunch of physical books when a single tablet works great!
To download our digital book on Dropbox, please visit our website from your tablet
- click on the Dropbox icon in the top right corner. This will open your Dropbox app.
- click on the “…” in the upper right corner of the folder window
- select “Save to my Dropbox”
- click on “Choose a Different Folder” and select the location you wish to save our book (for Theme Songs, pick “North Bay Ukulele Club” folder then the appropriate Letter folder for each song)
- select Save in the upper right corner to begin the downloading process
- click on “cancel” in the upper LEFT corner to exit to your own Dropbox
You will now have access to our book on your personal Dropbox account; however, you will still need to download each song to your device to gain access while offline. unfortunately this can take quite a while, but it is worth because any possible updates will happen automatically.
We will use “Bad Moon Rising” as example for the following instructions:
For Apple tablets each song needs to be downloaded individually:
- open folder “B”
- click once on “Bad Moon Rising” until the preview appears on the right
- Press the drop down arrow on the right of the file name
- select “Make Available Offline”
- there should now be a green circle next to the drop down arrow
- do this for EVERY file in EVERY folder
For Android tablets, you can download all the files in each letter folder at once:
- click on the vertical “…”
- choose “Save to my Dropbox”
- select “Save” and you’ll need to wait a few minutes
- press the “X” in the upper left corner
- open your Dropbox app
- click on the “North Bay Ukulele Club” folder
- open folder “B”
- select the check mark in a box in the upper right
- select the double check mark in the upper right
- select the down arrow in a box (next to the double check mark)
- do this for EVERY folder
