Dropbox Gets a New Home, iPhone App
Kevin and I have been using Dropbox for a long time, primarily to exchange large files. The service provides great file-sharing and syncing features to keep all your devices up to date. One of the confusing things about Dropbox has been the web home. Due to a domain problem, the service has always been found at getdropbox.com. We received word today that it has resolved this issue, and the new home is dropbox.com, as you would expect.
The news didn’t end there, as Dropbox also announced the new iPhone app. The app lets you access files in the Dropbox cloud, download files for viewing later, sync iPhone photos and videos to your Dropbox, and share files with friends via links to the Dropbox location. There are free and paid versions of Dropbox, depending on the amount of storage needed.
i thought the dropbox application have been out for a while?
I thought so too, perhaps this is a new version? They told us it is a new app.
I think they’re just late on getting the word out. The app has been out for weeks and they got their domain name issue resolved in early October.
I have had the iPhone app for over a month now – it is nice to have key files rather handy. But, unless I am really doing something wrong, syncing photos is a huge pain. And you can’t name the photo, so you have no idea which pict is which when you go to the folder.
