Dropbox has quickly become the must-have app and service for many people. Launched in 2007, about the same time as the original iPhone, Dropbox is a wonderful way to synchronize files between computers of all types.
Dropbox now has 25 million users, up from just 4 million a year ago. The numbers are astounding -- over 200 million files are saved to Dropbox daily, about a million every five minutes.
Concurrent with the announcement of this user milestone, Dropbox has updated their self-named app to version 1.4. Part of the update brings the action buttons (Dropbox, Favorites, Uploads, Settings) back to the bottom of the user interface in a tabbed fashion, but the new version of the app improves on the way that uploads from the iOS app are handled.
It's now possible to upload many photos and videos from the camera roll to a specific folder in Dropbox. That functionality is useful and seems like a logical extension of the way that the Dropbox app works, but the other new capability really adds usefulness to the app. Dropbox can now accept direct uploads from external apps.
