A little over a month after being sent for approval, the Dropbox iPhone app finally showed up on the App Store. Dropbox is one of the most powerful personal file backup and sharing services out there; it’s what iDisk should have been. Dropbox allows you to automatically sync up a folder on your hard drive with the cloud, keep multiple versions, and easily share any file with any number of users.
The iPhone app lends to the whole dropbox experience, bringing all your files to your hands. You can view your online files, download files and keep em there for offline viewing, and share those files via email. It’s almost like the iDisk app. Of course, far more useful given the way people use Dropbox. There’s also a photo/video uploading feature, which can snap new shots or access them from your library.
If you’re a Dropbox user, this app is a no brainer. It’s free. Just download it and have easy access to your files. If you’re not a Dropbox user, and would like to have your files online, I highly recommend you give the service a try. You get 2GB free on start, and you can pay for additional space thereon.
