Next, choose OPEN IN so you can open the ZIP file in another app. This icon in iOS7 looks like a box with an arrow pointing up from inside it. Open the DropBox app on your iPhone, navigate into that folder, and tap on the ZIP file you saved with Puffin to your account to download it locally.ĭropbox won’t be able to read or open the ZIP file, so after it downloads click the SHARE/EXPORT button in the lower left corner of the screen. I chose DropBox, since this will let me access the files later from another computer (like my laptop) if I want.Īfter you login to your Dropbox account and grant the Puffin browser permission to use your account, Puffin will create a new folder in an “Apps” folder of your Dropbox account. When you enter your email address on the website and submit the form, a menu is displayed in Puffin asking if you want to save the downloaded ZIP file to your device (phone) or to DropBox. The browser which DOES work, and is free, is Puffin. The Goodreader app has a web browser feature, but for some reason it won’t work on this site either to download the ZIP file.

The Charlie Hall Band (from Oklahoma City) is giving away a free “Christmas Bundle Pack” of songs on their website. The apps I describe in this post are also available for iPad. If you don’t have access to a full-blown computer for some reason, however, it can be handy to add these apps and techniques to your personal iOS toolkit. If you have access to one, it’s easier to do these steps on a laptop or desktop computer. The steps to do this are a bit tricky, so this probably isn’t something a majority of iPhone users are going to want to do. I suggested using the app Goodreader for iPhone ($5).

Today I replied to a tweet by someone who had been unsuccessful downloading a free ZIP file of music files from a local band’s website on her mobile phone.
