New user interface
Dropbox isn't too heavy on new stuff, so the app's UI refresh is welcome news. What changes will we detect in this regard? Well, first of all, we will have more direct access to the last elements that we have opened, because they will surely be the ones we need most often or for a period of time determined.
There will also be a special place for the most prominent elements, which will have a larger size In addition, the images will appear in a larger size , so that it will not be necessary to open each of the elements to know what they are. It is a good way to speed up our work through quality previews.
The revision history of a file
Having content in the cloud is very useful for all those who, both personally and professionally, work together with other people. Thus, to avoid mistakes and conflicts, from now on Dropbox will offer a kind of revision history from which we will be able to know who and what each of the users has done. collaborators who have access to the file.
What we will see will be a list of changes, with all the interactions that have occurred. And in the order they were done. To access it, we will only have to open the file in question and, then, and from the preview, we will obtain access to the list with all the executed actionson the document.
This is a very useful feature, but we have already seen it in other tools for working in the cloud, such as Google Docs.
Comment without having to access the document
Another interesting option is to be able to make and reply to comments in the document without having to open it. This is another feature that will speed up our work. Because it is true that when we connect to Dropbox from our mobile, we usually do it to carry out quick reviews and comment, if necessary, in the most intuitive way possible .
