I had no problem designating files as favorites and then viewing them without an Internet connection. Doing so isn't just a way of highlighting a file's importance, as it lets you access it when the iPad isn't connected to 3G or Wi-Fi-a very handy addition for frequent fliers or commuters who want to fetch vital documents. "Favorites" is the folder where one can find files that have been favorited by tapping the star icon in the upper right portion of the screen. Tapping the Dropbox logo, located in the upper-left portion of the screen, opens a drop-down menu that contains four options: "Dropbox," "Favorites," "Uploads" and "Settings." Note: This is when you hold the iPad vertically when you hold the tablet horizontally, these options appear as a column on the left side of the screen.

I logged in with my previously created account, but it was nice to see that I could register from within the app and not from the Dropbox Web site. Upon launching the app, you're taken to a blue home screen where you have to either login with your existing Dropbox account, or create a new one. It's more than worthy of an Editors' Choice award. You still can't move files between folders, but you can upload multiple files at once and save to sub-divisions-improvements that have been added since we last looked at the app. Overall, it's an excellent, affordably priced app for the business-minded person on the go. Dropbox (free) fills that role nicely with an iPad app that complements its desktop and mobile phone products. Like those other versions of the free file synchronization application, Dropbox for iPad features a simple interface, easy uploading, and swift syncing across all accounts. The mobile professional has myriad devices on which files live, which makes having a dependable syncing program a must.
