14 DAY TRIAL // Dropbox is currently enjoying an increasing number of mobile users, and the company is committed to offering them an better experience through constant updates of mobile clients available for various platforms out there, and also with an update to the mobile website they put in place a while ago.
The mobile web interface that handset users can access on the company's site has just been revamped, with a new look and with brand new features for users to enjoy.
The newly upgraded experience is available for users of iPhone, Android 2.1 and higher devices, and Windows Phone 7 handsets, the company announced.
The new interface should seem highly appealing to all users, not to mention that they will enjoy on Dropbox' mobile website from features that were previously available only with the native applications for their devices.
Among these features, the company notes that there are some that will arrive on Android in the near future, such as the quickactions behavior, and that other changes involve the availability of more screen space for files, and more.
The new features that users will enjoy when accessing Dropbox' mobile site include: - Search: Finally, you can search your Dropbox for that e-book that was such a pain to browse to!
- File quick actions: Whether you are browsing or searching for files, now in addition to downloading a file, there is also a quick action menu dropdown that gives you access to additional things you can do to your files. For now, that means sharing and deleting.
- Share: We’ll generate a link that helps you quickly share a file or folder with your friends. Simply copy a link to your device clipboard or email the link on.
- Delete: Got a few minutes to spare? Try out our new delete functionality and clean up your Dropbox.
- Account settings: For easy access to your basic account settings, go to the new account settings tab. - Internationalization: We now offer our mobile site in 5 different languages: English, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese!
These are certainly welcomed changes to the Dropbox mobile portal, especially since it hasn't seen any modifications since about three years ago.
However, it seems that more enhancements are to arrive in the near future, and that they would include support for more mobile devices, as well as easier methods to share files and folders, or do more.
