Dropbox introduces notifications and sending photos to contacts
Users of Android devices that also use the application Dropbox , have an update available. And it is that this storage service in Internet has improved its application with some curious novelties. A first step in what could be the new stage of Dropbox and which would seek interaction with more users, becoming not only a platform for storing content, but also for share them even more comfortably.
This is Dropbox version 2.3.11 for the Android platform , applying to both smartphones and tablets It only lists three novelties that do not end up surprising and that could well determine the new direction of the service. Among them stands out the new section of the main screen. It is Notifications, represented by the icon of a bell in the bar at the top superior. Pressing it accesses a new menu designed to display relevant information for the user. Notifications such as invitations, shared content and other information that is stored in this place so you can easily check it as soon as you access the application.
Other news is closely related to notifications.And now Dropbox lets you share photos and videos with your terminal's contacts. In other words, send a link through a SMS or text message to a contact in the phonebook to send them any of this content. That is why the update prompts the user to accept a new permission. With this, you only have to select the desired image or video and select the option share When selecting MessageAll that remains is to choose the desired contact or contacts to send them a link with which to access the photo or video.
Finally, this update brings with it a new access to make a payment and access the functions of an account Pro or Premium Specifically, it is the possibility of comfortably completing the credit card payment detailstaking a picture of it.Just press the Expand account option in the menu and, in the Payment information section, click on Scan cardWith a photo, the application recognizes the number and type of card to avoid this process for the user, without having to enter all the numbers one by one.
In short, an update with some interesting news for like-minded users. However, it knows little by not developing really useful concepts, except for expanding the possibilities when it comes to sharing images and videos via SMS And it is that all this suggests that Dropbox is focusing on developing something more social or more capable. We will have to wait to know the next movements of this service. As an extra point it is worth noting the change in the design of the icon of the application, which has now alternated the blue and white colors of the background and the box.This new version of Dropbox for Android is now available through Google Play fully free
