How do I add apps--dropbox, etc.--to my iPad AirDrop?r

When I want to 'send' a file or a link to another device on my iPad I am limited to only a handful of apps in AirDrop.  How to I add additional apps like, for example, Dropbox or Copy or Pages?
Thanks.

The iPad is a device. Dropbox, Copy, and Pages are Apps not devices.
To send files to other Apps you use the Open in option from the Action menu of the source App.
for instance if you wanted to send a file from Mail to say Dropbox You would Tap and hold on the file icon in the Email and then tap on"Open in name of app"  of your choice.
AirDrop only works to send files to other devices like  other iPads, or iPones or iPods.  It does not send files to other Apps like Drop Box.
In most Apps the action menu can be accessed through the icon that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it.

    Same way as always. Purchases directly for the App store on the iPod or download on your computer and sync to your iPod. To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

    I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the
    generic Outlook support forums or contact your IT department if it's a work related account.

  • How do I add multiple rows in Numbers for iPad?

    how do I add multiple rows in Numbers for iPad?

    Hi James,
    On the iPod I can only insert what is on the clipboard but I can insert however many rows I have there. Is it working differently for you? Benjoon seemed to think that he could not do this in Numbers. He was ruling Numbers out because of it. He doesn't need to do that because of this issue.
    If I was needing to insert multiple blank rows often I might keep a table of blank rows or just some blank rows at the end of the working table that I could copy/paste. This is no different than Numbers on the Mac.

  • Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my ipad to appear on my TV using Apple Tv

    Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my IPad to be viewed on my Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Coachcad.
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

    If it's an IMAP type account then you should have had an Edit button at the top of the current list of folders for that account - if it's a POP type account then it doesn't look like you can add folders (I can't add them to my POP account and other people have reported the same thing)

    How do I add an iMovie project to the iPad? I have added the project to the pane in iTunes but the iPad has no way to import. I am using iOS 8.0.2. Also, when I open iMovie in the iPad, I see one project and video available but it is not shown in iTunes. What the heck is going on?
    Thanks.

    First thing I'd try is dropping the Quality level down to Medium or maybe half-way between High and Medium.
