So excited by this. At least I can use Mailbox on my iPad now. One of a handful of iOS only apps I miss using on my HTC One.

I agree. Dropbox still has a lot of mindshare in the cloud storage space, despite all the competition. However, they are going to have to expand Mailbox beyond just Gmail support if they want to meet the needs of more users. That, and future-proof their new toy.

And don’t get me wrong. I’m happy with Gmail. It’s the only Google service besides search that I see myself sticking with over the long haul. I just have a bad feeling that Google is going to do what they’ve been doing with Calendar, Contacts, and Exchange support, and pull the rug at some point. Especially since Dropbox is now using Gmail in a way that competes with them in storage.

In reply to James Rogers. I'm curious to see what dropbox can do...that will be an interesting little back and forth. Gmail + Google Drive or Dropbox + email

All I can say is WOOHOO!!!! I love Mailbox, and hate having to go back to the Gmail app when I look at personal email on my iPad. I just hope Google doesn’t follow their recent trend of killing off open access to their services, and cut Mailbox off at the knees. I honestly won’t be surprised if they do, I just hope Dropbox is ready with a solution of their own, because I will move over in a heartbeat.
