I want to be able to take a picture from my photo libray, and drop it on my desktop to be able to access it immediately. Is this possible?

There are lots of ways of moving files.
A simple and popular way to copy files.
Using iTures to transfer files:

For syncing pc or mac folders to iPad applications.
"Using SugarSync, you simply designate folders that you want to “sync” to the cloud and it keeps everything in sync anytime you make changes. This is the way cloud storage should be done and especially if you are using your iPad for buisness or for school."
The only potential downside is that so many apps for the iPhone/iPad come with Dropbox sync built in which makes it extremely convenient.

"This can be done with Dropbox as well using one of the many Dropbox addons…"
I should clarify that 'desktop' in this case is really my iPad home screen. I already have Dropbox in place on my iPad...is there a way I can use Dropbox to put my photos on my home screen?
Hi melissamilzer,
I'm not aware of a direct way to do this.... but a workaround would be to copy the photo to the Public folder in Dropbox and making a web clip to it on your home screen.
This will put an icon on your Home Screen that you could click and view the photo. I know its not the prettiest workaround, but might accomplish what you are going for.
Hope this helps!
