Frequently asked questions

Can I save files from my Igloo into Dropbox, or vise versa?

Not directly. Due to security restrictions on both sides, Dropbox cannot transfer files directly to Igloo, nor can Igloo transfer files to Dropbox. You will need to download the files and then upload them in the other system if you need to move or copy them.

Can I search my Dropbox through the normal Igloo search feature?

The only way to search your Dropbox is through the widget. Igloo does not have direct access to your Dropbox because of security restrictions.
