I can ‘t think of a better way to describe Dropbox than that. It really is the best and easiest to use sync / backup tool I ‘ve ever seen. I love using it on the Mac, and now it has come to the iPhone.
The iPhone app follows the simple and elegant theme pretty well, and works like a charm for me so far. Sync between my Mac and iPhone is virtually instant.
Up to now, I have used Dropbox on the Mac primarily for backup “ so I didn ‘t have an awful lot of files that I would need to view on the iPhone. Now that I have the iPhone app though, I may well use it as a quick sharing method for photos / docs between the two. It offers a simpler, quicker way to flash files back and forth from iPhone to Mac (or PC) than any other I have seen.
Here are some of the main features of the new Dropbox app:
- Access your Dropbox on the go
- View your files
- Download files for offline viewing
- Take photos and videos and sync them to your Dropbox
- Share links to files in your Dropbox
- Photo galleries
*** It ‘s important to note that the iPhone app is NOT intended as a stand-alone product. It works with the main Dropbox service, for which you need a Dropbox account (there are free and paid account types).
Dropbox (on the desktop) is one of those rare apps where once you ‘ve used it for two minutes you cannot help but say ‘Brilliant ‘. Adding an iPhone app has just added to the brilliance of it. Lovely to see this one on the iPhone, and it will be a fixture on my iPhone.
You can find the Dropbox app in the App Store now, and it is free.
Thanks to Frank C. for the reminder Monday night that this was out 🙂
