Printing Books, Brochures and Posters from Dropbox

Dropbox is a dead simple, web-based file hosting service, that uses cloud computing to enable users to store and share files with others across the Internet using file synchronization.

Dropbox is a perfect platform for printing from. You can store all your PDF print files on Dropbox, and print with Mimeo Connect.

So I threw together a couple of PHP script to show how to print a couple of common documents from Dropbox, and have delivered to your business the next day.

• Self-Publishing Books and Magazines Using Dropbox
• Self-Publishing Flyers and Brochures Using Dropbox
• Self-Publishing Posters Using Dropbox

These samples are meant to show how to integrate commercial printing using Dropbox, into any web or mobile applicaiton.

All samples contain code samples you can download on Github, or the Mimeo Connect code library.
