14 DAY TRIAL // A new version of Dropbox for Blackberry mobile client has been made available for download via the Dropbox forums, namely version 1.0.34. The new version comes shortly after the company made available a final flavor of the app via the Blackberry App World, and is aimed at bringing some fixes into the mix. According to the development team, those interested in trying out the new release should head over to their forums here to download it on their devices.
The application was made available for all BlackBerry smartphones running under the BlackBerry OS 4.5 or higher.
As for the fixed issues that were included in the new release of the mobile client, here's what the changelog shows:
- saving non-ascii texts results in garbled text - handling of edge cases when running out of space on sd card and in device memory - open-edit-upload usecase wasn't working for devices with encryption enabled - share link freezes for some users - open-edit-upload usecase fails for files with non-ascii filenames - “would you like to allow logging” dialog shouldn't appear on first launch - on rotatable devices, in image gallery, the displayed/cached image is smaller than screen size (shouldn't happen) - app should ask for permissions in advance on first launch - app should support multiple third-party app associations for a given file type (e.g multiple pdf viewers) - music/video stops when screen fades out - user gets a “not enough room to write file” message when trying to open a file that's already open in docs2go
All those who will download and install the new application on their devices should provide feed-based on their experience, so that the development team would fix any other issues that might have slipped into the release.
Lately, Dropbox has pushed out mobile clients for Android and BlackBerry handsets, but users of other mobile OSes can also enjoy the service, either via native or third-party applications.
