DropBox on iPhone to PC without internet

I have a few files favorited on DropBox, so they are stored locally on my iPhone. I am staying at the Hyatt and they want $12 for internet! I have my USB cable and I can also make an ad hoc network. DropBox doesn't support iTunes files sharing. Is there a program such as iExplorer that can help me out?
 
If you tether your laptop to your iPhone then there's your internet connection.

Do they want $12 for internet period, or just for wireless? There's usually an ethernet jack in there somewhere.

Yeah, if you can use your iPhone as a hotspot, you have internet.

I cannot use my phone as a hotspot. I've used iExplorer before, but I did not think it had access to DropBox. I will try it when I get home. If it works, I'll saved a copy to my flash-drive so I can use it on the go!

I did think of looking for an Ethernet jack, but I didn't have a cable so it wouldn't help anyways. Besides, I imagine if they charge for WiFi they would charge for wired internet.

Does the hotel have a business center? Do you have a flash drive? If so, it should be pretty easy to get the item from your Dropbox to your computer.
