never miss a flash freebie again! for girls on the go!

So, I get kinda panicky if I see that, while reading blogs from my feedler app, someone is having some sort of flash freebie. Like when Graphics from the Pond has a one day facebook freebie and I am not home to download it. Then when I get home I have forgotten about it!
Panic stricken I tell ya! I love free!
So, when I was playing around with my phone on my TpT app last week, I just tried downloading a freebie (Amanda's to be exact)
and wa-la!
SO here is how to never miss a freebie while on the go!

find that freebie you want. Mine was Amanda's What Writers Write posters. (this will also work on facebook)


click download and you will have these to choose from. You need DROPBOX. If you do not have a dropbox account I am ashamed! Ok, not really, just sign up right here! right now! It's free and super convenient! 
(and I'll earn free space, too!)

You could also mail it to yourself, which is what I do it Melonheadz or someone has a very quick freebie! That will only email the link, though. I use dropbox for any files since they are usually too large!
and here we go!
the file will open right up and then you can save it in your dropbox folder. 
Hope that saves you from losing something for free! I hate when that happens!

  5. You gave me an idea of how to save items on my Kindle. I used to get so frustrated when I would be reading my blogs on my Kindle and couldn't save something. Duh, never thought about Dropbox. THANKS!

  18. What about Google Docs since a number of freebies are in FB Fans tab and these don't open up in Dropbox?
