The Dropbox integration may very well make it that easy, simply drop into your Dropbox folder and hey presto. Although waiting for it to sync to AWS might be painful, I wonder if the iOS and Android clients do local syncing like the desktop clients do when on the same network?

LAN syncing doesn't avoid having to upload it first to AWS, though; it just speeds up the subsequent download to the other devices.

Android, at least here, does not sync the files to the device at all until you attempt to look at them
