I’m just going to leave these here…

Posted by Jon Ying on May 04, 2010

Whew, glad I got that off my chest. We know it’s been a long time in the making, but we’re super stoked about releasing all this stuff to you. Sorry for being so secretive!

To expand a bit, we’re announcing the release of our iPad and Android apps (available in the Store and Market, respectively) and the confirmation of our Blackberry app (out quite soon!). We’ve also got a shiny new Dropbox mobile API and developer program, and the announcement of some awesome partner apps that work amazingly with Dropbox.

Huge props go out to Will and Brian (iPad devs), Tom (Android dev) and Zed (API) for their hard work the past few weeks to get these out. These guys all deserve a huge vacation. Enjoy!

  • I love Dropbox

    How do I open a PDF in Dropbox on Blackberry Bold?
  • Drh463
    For the last few days, when I try to log in on my phone I get the message "Sorry, can't connect to the network. Please try again later." Any help to fix this?
  • Android version is great

    New version is not compatible with iOS 3.0. Is there any way to get old version that still work with ios 3.0?

    Hi, I want to trust DropBox to the end of the world, the problem is: is that a smart thing of me to do? thank you very much. good job.

    Hi,
    you still don't have a feeling when the Blackberry App will be out?
    Thanks

    Android Dropbox does NOT work on LG Ally... non-functioning for download to the phone... I use it flawlessly on my iPad and my macbook, but the android version is CRAP!
  • Maybe it's an old version of Android?

    There it is - the tools to port Dropbox to WebOS. :-)
  • pbgiv
    Now all you need is the WebOS app. Dropbox sounds great, but unfortunately is of no use to me until there's a WebOS app. I held out for the best phone OS, now we just need the great app makers to get on board this phenonenal OS - especially now that HP has bought it and is destined to appear on a broad variety of devices in the not too distant future...
    I guess you guys have been saving the best for last?
  • Sav
    BlackBerry App pretty please!
  • This is a great service and not sure how I survived without it before, well I do I hauled an external hard drive around in my bag. Now everything is in sync including my iphone
  • Hank
    While I'm convinced DropBox is the best thing since sliced bread and that the people working on it are children touched by the hand of god and are, in fact, beings of pure light and love, I just have this one little nagging question of whether or not somewhere in the DropBox EULA there is a paragraph that says that anything anyone ever puts in a DropBox automatically becomes DropBox's property which they can then exploit until the end of eternity and use in any way they can up to and certainly including the development of nuclear weapons and stealing any recipes the DropBox management happens to have a sweet tooth for.

    I want to trust DropBox to the end of the world, the problem is: is that a smart thing of me to do?
  • Encrypt your stuff.
  • Stephanie
    I just got this for my iPad. I can drag files from my laptop and find them on my iPad, but I can't figure out how to add files from my iPad to the dropbox (specifically Pages). Does anyone know how?
  • It's been almost 3 weeks since you confirmed the Blackberry app. Could you give a more specific ETA for the same?
  • Ken Kleiner
    Let's start off by saying I love your product. I would like to figure out how to make use of your pay model to support my clients. Is your 100G for a single user account? I use the free version (which seems to be enough for my users) but would rather figure out a way to be part of your paid service to support a company doing things right. Any recommendations?
  • Rob
    This is great and all however what about adding new functionality for existing PC/OSX users? Where is the ability to stream content? Where are the Photo galleries? How about Rsync or similar type service for home NAS backup?
  • The images previews in the app store show a dialog to open a file in Pages. I see nothing in the developer API about support fort that.
  • Hey Guys,
    Great work on the API, I've had a play around with it and it nice, I have also written a blog post about it to help out my fellow C#/.NET developers. http://dkdevelopment.net/2010/...
  • Posted a review of dropbox on my blog www.22rocks.com got 250+ views the first hour.. I think dropbox mobile is going to catch up really fast =)
  • Now you just need a Blackberry version, and you'll have the most popular platforms covered. Keep up the good work!

    Dropbox is a very nice service.

    Please use my referral links : https://www.dropbox.com/referr...


    You will have 250Mo extra.

  • dcj001
    Here is my referral link if you would like to join DropBox. If you use my link we both get an extra 250mb of space:

    https://www.dropbox.com/referr...

    All You need to do is create an account using my link, and then download the desktop DropBox, install and sign in on the desktop DropBox app for the credit to be applied to both of us.
  • One thing I do not particulary like about current version is the lack of possibility to upload any other files than listed in the upload menu. I have a folder which is monitored by my BitTorrent client and when I'm away and want to have something downloaded I just put it there. But the new client won't let me upload :(
  • SpamFilter
    Can you please please please make it work on the HTC Tattoo.
    4 out of 74 comments (that's almost 7% of commented android users) request for the same.
    Me thinks it wouldn't be wise to ignore 7% of market share when it can be captured in one fell swoop.
    Thanks
  • Looking forward to a Blackberry APP. Bring it on. Do you need any beta testers?
  • Dropbox has been blocked by GFW here in China.
    *.dropbox.com and the client of dropbox are not working.
  • Frank
    You guys should built a media player for music that would display mp3album art playlist etc. Samething for the photos.

    I am using the app on my iPad and it is amazing. Streaming is breeze.
  • i don't know dropbox,but in our country i can't open the site now.
    this is interesting things .

    Any reaction or information about being firewalled by China in the last 24 hours?
  • jiushizheyang
    i think i need a chinese version
  • Dirty_Reign
    Where is Selective Sync??!! I feel like I've been waiting forever...
  • sarah
    I'm new to dropbox...do you have an app for blackberries?
  • Kevin
    Very Glad to hear the blackberry app will be out quite soon!!!
  • Great, thank you so much! :D
  • Siskel, Ebert, and moi give it 6 big thumbs up!!! Well done folks.
  • Very disappointing that it doesn't shows up in the Market for the HTC Tattoo... is there any problem to use it with QVGA screens?
  • Crim
    Are there any plans for a Symbian version?
  • I second that! Also need a Symbian version for Nokia E71.
  • I was waiting till now due to some negative comments , it seems now there is better choice available finally.
  • Craig
    Are you going to support the windows 7 phone when it comes out this holiday season?
  • Great thanks !
  • Joost
    ...and a delete function would be nice.
  • Joost
    Nice Android app! Though I would like to see the the 'favorite' function and the photo gallery as promised.
  • Marcus
    Me too. :(
  • Marc
    I'm confused about the iPad app, as I downloaded this a couple of weeks ago. Is this an update being announced? There is no update in the App Store.
  • Max
    Disappointing that the app hasn't been integrated into Android's great 'share' functionality. I was expecting to see Dropbox appear in the list of apps that I can use to share any file, photo etc. As others have commented, it's a pain to have to specifically open the Dropbox app, rather than just taking a photo/video and selecting share via Dropbox (or Facebook, Twidroid etc etc). It also means that I can't use Dropbox with other apps that support sharing, such as Mobisle Notes.
  • Kieran
    Hi chaps,

    Good work, just a quick question though. When you were previewing the release in a previous blog post if you took a photo you had the option to share to Dropbox. I don't see that on my Desire. Did that make it to the release meaning my phone's to blame or was that feature dropped?
  • Greg
    Would definitely be useful, having to take photos within Dropbox is not so convenient.
  • G Chan
    It's sad that my HTC Tattoo (Android 1.6) can't use it. I can't find the dropbox app in the Market !!
    :(
  • AnonJr
    Finally. :)

    Awesome to see, and as mentioned before, it would be nice to have a barcode/QR Code on the Android screen so I can make sure that I get the official app. As you might imagine, I'm a little paranoid about entering my credentials into just any app that has access to my files.
  • yarsrvenge
    Thanks for the iPad support. It's one of the things I was most looking forward to.
  • Jeff
    Any plans to develop Drop Box for the Palm Pre? WebOS should be easy to configure and now that the company has plans to be owned by HP and build more phones and tablets in the future - seems like a logical next step.

    Please advise.
  • Gerryk
    Thanks guys!!!
  • Adam
    Finally released! This really brings cloud computing and data storage a new step further.

    Oh, by the way, if anyone is joining Dropbox after reading this article, then use this link below.

    https://www.dropbox.com/referr...

    It means that me and you both get an extra 250MB allowance on top for FREE. Something you'll really appreciate when you start getting pop-ups saying 'You dropbox is almost full' !

    Thanks
  • Jeroen
    Thank you very much for the Android app, greatly appreciated!
  • Steve
    And don't forget that for fellow Windows Mobile users there's the first public beta of CloudFiles at:

    http://ruttensoft.com/
  • Greg
    Great addition to my HTC Desire. I wish the photos would automatically upload to the photo directory though, annoying having to change to the folder you want to upload to.
  • Mark
    Err, guys, have you seen the results for the top selling phones worldwide?

    http://crackberry.com/idc-q1-r...

    Where's Apple in that list?

    This is for ALL phones, not just smartphones.

    So, given that, why have you released an iPhone app before a Blackberry, particularly when you consider a Blackberry's most likely to be used by business people and thus Dropbox integration is probably going to be of more interest to them?
  • Oh great, yet another developer who forgot to enable QVGA support when placing the app on the market... Kudos dropbox, now I can't use your application!
  • All it is is a browser. Yes, it downloads files you open to your SD card, but why doesn't it sync everything like the desktop client? Pretty pointless if you ask me.
  • Embridioum
    I only have a 2GB SD-card, and my Dropbox is filled with 2,8GB so I'm pretty happy that it doesn't want to sync everything.
  • thomas schaaf
    i will start to write the webos dropbox app today
  • Tom_T
    I will buy that app as soon as you make it available!
  • Very great!! It's almost perfect but it doesn't bring what I desired the most: To automatically sync some files (or folders) to the android device either automatically (I know this would cost lots of battery), every n hours or at least on demand. This would be helpful for e.g. KeePassDroid which could have always the latest update of my passwords, etc...

    I hope you guys add this feature.
  • guy
    I totally agree. People waited a long time for an official dropbox app. But one of the most important features is missing. So for now the app is completely useless for me
  • Thanks for the app. Now i am able to upload to dropbox from the mobile phone.
    Is there any app for Symbian OS??
  • It doesn't show on my Android Market. I'm running 1.6 on a HTC Tattoo. And I thought you said, on one of your previous posts, that I was going to be supported :(
  • Domen
    Every photo I view, its downloaded to my phone. What about videos and music? Please make a view/stream & download option. Also please make delete & move option. Can you please make this possible in next version? Thank you! You made awesome application, keep it updated. :)

    - Domen, HTC Desire
  • Domen
    Thank you! It works on HTC Desire.
  • Team Brian
    Go Brian. Brian is the best!
  • Jimmy Nilsson
    Way 2 go DropBoxTeam!
    Now my Desire is complete =)

    Best regards
    /Jimmy
  • macberry
    I need the app for Blackberry 9700. That was great
  • Will there be a Palm WebOS app?!
  • Mr Swede
    Yay! What a great way to upload photos and videos.
  • Pete
    Might I suggest adding a barcode for the Android app on http://www.dropbox.com/android so that us lazy users can scan the screen?

    Great work, and looking forward to using this!
    Thanks.
  • Andy
    Congrat... Any plan for Maemo community.. Loved it on my iphone
  • misspixel
    I got the iPad app as an update to the iPhone version I had installed. What a pleasant shock when I opened it up and it wasn't a 2X iPhone app!

    I haven't even checked yet, but does it work with GoodReader?
  • werrett
    Top of the list: https://www.dropbox.com/anywhe...

    Maybe you should of checked in retrospect.
  • claudiaortiz17

  • ScottN
    Congratulations on this!

    How about to celebrate you offer a discount to upgrade from free loader to paid subscriber ;-) I want to join but keep waiting for a coupon or discount.....
  • SWEET! Can't wait for someone to develop a webOS app. I've liked what the Zumodrive folks have done there, but my heart has always been with Dropbox. :)
  • me
    symbian?
  • Shelli Russell
    Great. I've got Windows Mobile 6.5?
  • Steve
    So check out Ruttensoft's CloudFiles first public beta for Windows Mobile!

    http://ruttensoft.com/
  • Terence Roll
    LOL
  • Are there any plans for a WebOS app?
  • JeffMc
    So, you say Air Sharing HD supports dropbox. I have the latest, do not see support. What gives?
  • flamesbladeflcl
    YAY XD this is awesome!
  • Peter
    So i remember seeing a favorite option in a post before that would allow dropbox to sync certain files to the sd card so they are always available... is that still available?
  • kx0101
    Ill pay the beers for the android team :) thanks
  • Alfred
    Great!
    Now let me choose the folder to sync and have several folders just like Syncplicity does, and I'll change to you in no-time! :)
  • Oh, forgot to say: the addition of the 4-digit passcode is a huge improvement for security. Thanks for adding that. Makes me feel better with all my files sitting out in the cloud now!
  • zach
    awesome! sounds cool
  • Yay! I checked for the iPad add this morning at 3:00am, apparently just a few minutes after you released it. Great timing.

    The iPad app is exactly what I wanted. Excellent job!
