Hi all, I'm a former android user who just bought an iPhone 6+. I frequently used my old phone as a USB key to transfer files to a computer I use that is off line. Is this possible to do with an iPhone?

Welcome to iMore Christina

I also use a few of my palm phones for USB backup but the iphone will not let you directly access the storage thru windows Explorer

Thanks guys.

You need to be online to use Dropbox.

Not possible,eh. That's what I suspected. So it's back to carrying a thumb drive on my key chain.
