Description

From the listing uploaded by “darkpsytrancer”.

This app does not appear in the list of apps in the phone launcher.

Please get in touch with us if you have problems. Dropbox Settings: This app only has access to its own folder and does not have access to other Dropbox folders. Check the "Use Browser for Authentication" if you want to use your default/external browser for authentication rather than the built-in functionality. Email Settings: All the settings on the screen are dependent on the Mail Service Provider that you use. The details about the service can be found on the provider’s site. Some of the common ones are linked at the bottom of this section. • Sender Email Address: The email address from which the email should be sent. • Recipient Email Address: The email address of the recipient.
