Dropbox: Version 1.0 Enhancing the Personal Cloud
Today cloud file management solutions provider Dropbox announced in its blog the launch of Dropbox 1.0. Version 1.0 carries some serious improvements including a 20% reduced download sized for Mac users, extended attribute sync including resource forks as well as thorough bug fixes and more:
“We completely re-architected the client-side sync engine to optimize the response time, scale, and resource consumption…This version reduces memory usage by up to 50%. It’s speedier and more efficient when handling big changes to your Dropbox while ensuring that smaller changes remain quick.”
Improved usability also comes with Dropbox 1.0 as well as selective sync, which enables users to only sync selected files, rather an entire hard drive.
In addition to this latest coverage, siliconANGLE also covered here Dropbox’s update to its Apps directory. The update introduced shopping utility apps for mobile users utilizing the company’s service.
Before the holiday season update to its apps, Dropbox updated its Android and iPhone apps with new features and added another mobile OS to its support list, as we covered here the launch of the Dropbox BB app and recent update. This move provided a way for the company to tap into a very sizable prospective audience, as Blackberry users also need to store and share files online.
