Another techie question

[bohemian]

I have a couple of home movies of my grandchildren recorded using the camera on my iPad.  I uploaded them to dropbox so that other family members could see them, but how can they download them to their own iPads?  Photos is not a problem, but the mov files seem to be problematic.

 

Any suggestions?

Can't they just stream from Dropbox?

You have to "Share" the files with those other individuals. You can add them by email address, or make the files "public" so that they get a unique URL, and send them the link. While this does make it public, only those with the link can access the file.

Only when they are online.  They want to have them available offline too.

Sorry I thought Dropbox was different than Drive, which is what I use.  

 

I think they basically work similar so try what Dismal mentioned.

Tried this but while it allowed it to be "downloaded"it wasn't saved to the iPad
