Dropbox Update: 2.8.0–RC. New features.

May 11, 2014 11:11:49 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

 

OK…it’s the RC. Almost ready for release (will supercede 2.6.33).

What’s new?

1. The selective sync option is now displayed during setup if files stored on Dropbox exceed 10 Gigabytes.

“The main idea behind the new feature is to provide users with options to select only necessary files for synchronization if they want to, either to speed up the synchronization process, save bandwidth, or avoid that one of the partitions on their computer system runs out of free disk space because of the syncing.” – gHacks

2. Auto signin, but only if you don’t have two-factor confirmation configured.

3. Two bug fixes: A long paths issue and a rare infinite connection error.

The only new feature i am interested in is more than 2GB of storage, ffs. I aint paying for it, if there are competitive services giving more than 2 for free, at the same time i would like to stick to dropbox, since i went with it instead of said services.

I have 9.8 GB of Dropbox space, all free. You get more by using Camera Upload, and by referring others to join.

 

Use it constantly.

Box.com offers a good amount of space and I've been using it for years

I have tons of free online storage across a few different companies. 3.5GB from Dropbox, 10GB from OneDrive, 25GB from Norton Zone*, and 10-15GB? from Google Picasa.

IMO, Dropbox is the easiest to use.

Why would anyone pay for online storage? I can understand how the can make money from businesses, but I doubt they get much from individuals.

 

*received extra 20GB for participating in the beta.
