14 DAY TRIAL // The iOS Dropbox app has been updated with an all-new UI design, Retina Display compatibility, and support for background file transfers on iOS 4 devices that are capable of multi-tasking, to name some of the most important changes.
Dropbox is one of the most popular (if not the most popular) tools of its kind.
It is a cross platform solution for backing up and sharing files across multiple systems running various operating systems, including mobile devices.
By adding / modifying / removing a file on one system with Dropbox installed, the user can see the changes reflected on all their other devices which have the tool installed.
Now at version 1.3, Dropbox for iOS also adds the ability to view files in a full-screen mode while using the app in landscape mode on the iPad.
The software also does file caching now, in order to allow users to re-open files they have recently viewed much faster.
Finally, it brings the ability to create folders from within the app. The changelog is listed on iTunes as follows:
What's New In Version 1.3
- UI re-design with numerous visual enhancements including retina display support - File caching (no need to re-download files you've already viewed!) - Fullscreen landscape file viewing on iPad - Finish uploads and downloads while in the background - Create folders - Bug fix for viewing CSV and some broken HTML files

According to a recent latest post on the Dropbox Blog, the team behind this wonderful piece of free software is hiring.
Jon Ying tries to entice potential applicants by saying, “While we work hard, we’ve always played just as hard. I’m willing to bet a ton of money that most companies don’t end their workdays with LANs of Starcraft 2 or jam sessions. Other notables include whiskey Fridays, a company DDR machine (not joking), and Laser Tag.”
“Not only do you get the most amazing work environment ever (located in beautiful San Francisco), but you get a bunch of benefits too! And unlimited Dropbox space!”, he adds.
“Not a shabby deal if you ask me. In all honesty though, I really do encourage everyone in the job hunt to check us out and see if we’re a good fit. I promise it’ll be worth your while!”
Dropbox has various areas where technically savvy folks are needed, such as Account Executive, API Engineer, Backend Engineer, Core Sync Engineer, Desktop GUI Engineer, Growth Engineer, Office Administrative Assistant, Product Marketing, Technical Support Engineer, and Web Engineer.
