Now accessing your most important files on the go is just an app away.
DropBox, the popular and easy to use file manager that lets you sync your files across all your computers and the web has launched an iPhone app that will now let you access all your docs, pics, music and videos from your iPhone.
DropBox should be pretty handy for most users. The service lets you store up to 2GB for free on their service. Paid users get up to 50GB for $10 a month and 100GB for $20 a month. Registered users will have to first download the desktop application in order to upload their files on the cloud. This can be later accessed from any other computer with internet access including their iPhone.
The iPhone app for DropBox is free to download. There are some impressive features that come with the iPhone app. Firstly, as on the desktop, the iPhone app too lets you share your docs with other DropBox users. With lots of your friends on DropBox, that could mean a pretty massive cloud of files! The DropBox app is very well integrated with iPhone's camera API. iPhone 3G users can upload photos directly from their iPhone while iPhone 3GS users get to upload videos too.
Another cool aspect about the DropBox app is the ability to stream music and movies straight from the cloud to your iPhone without any significant delay. This is another aspect which most of us would love with a free app. If you have downloaded the iPhone (direct iTunes link), kindly let us know your experience and any other cool features that we might have missed.
You HAVE to have 3.1 for this unfortunately.
Dev-Team needs to hurry up with that 3.1 jailbreak for 3GS
From a security/privacy perspective you should ask yourself if you really want to store files (docs, images, etc.) on their (DropBox') server?
Or can you sync files between your desktop and iPhone directly and without the use of DropBox infrastructure?
This is the most important question as far as i'm concerned. If its possible to sync directly between PC and iPhone, then it'll b the app of the year, but if not, I don't want to push my pictures to the cloud. (its way 2 far from where I am)
