Dropbox Pro gets better plus offers 1TB now for $9.99 a month



There are plenty of cloud storage options out there for users to choose from like MediaFire, Google Drive, Copy and Dropbox. While many of you have a few of them, others only use one or two. Today Dropbox might catch your eye again, or still, as they have added a few things to the Pro side of their services. That would be the one where you pay.

One addition is password protection for shared links. This function lets you share a link to a friend or coworker that will prompt them to enter the password you have set for it to actually access it. FYI – you should use a different password than your Dropbox account.

Dropbox Password Protected files


 

Along with the Password protection, Dropbox has also initiated a new safeguard in the event that you lose your device. While many use lockscreen passwords, codes, and other security measures to safeguard our information on our phones, tablets and laptops, it never hurts to have another backup plan. With the new safeguard you can remotely unlink and wipe your Dropbox files from a linked device.

The final change coming from Dropbox today is a unified plan option. You won’t have multiple choices to choose from any more, instead you can grab 1TB for $9.99 a month or $99.00 a year. The good news is that Dropbox plans to migrate all current Dropbox Pro users to the new plan.

Pandora’s radio app for Glass lets you tune into Haim using your head


Pandora internet radio app for Google Glass

If you regularly go out wearing Google Glass, you’ve probably lamented the lack of major music app choices. There’s Play Music and… well, that’s about it. Never fear, though, as Pandora has just released a Glass app for its internet radio service. The wearable-ready software lets you control streaming without ever having to reach for your phone; you can create or choose stations solely using your voice, and the touchpad lets you both skip annoying tunes and give the thumbs-up to songs you like. It won’t cost you anything to download the app, although you can’t really call this free. Besides the $1,500 Glass itself, you’ll likely want to buy Glass-specific stereo headphones — that’s a lot of money just to get internet radio on an eyepiece.

Speed-reading apps seem like the new weather apps. There are tons of different examples to choose from and they tout benefits that range from better memory retention to more free time and even healthier, shinier hair (one of those may not be totally true). So, have you used one to take your reading skills from average speed to ludicrous speed? Head over to the Engadget forums and share your experiences.

Twitter wants everyone to know how many people read their tweets


Publishers and verified users have been able to track view counts on organic tweets since last month, but Twitter is looking to make that data more widely accessible. Today, the microblogging social network revealed that this analytics feature is no longer limited to people or companies with a tiny blue check mark on their profile. The tweet activity dashboard is now also available to users who are active primarily in English, Japanese and Spanish, and have had an account for longer than two weeks. And don’t worry, support for additional languages is coming — Twitter let it be known that it is working to bring its tool to everyone sometime “soon.” So, there it is, now you won’t have to wonder if anyone’s actually reading those thoughtful (and wonderful) tweets of yours.

‘Doctor Who’ is coming to ‘Minecraft’ on Xbox 360 next month


Simply put, Doctor Who and Minecraft are two worldwide sensations, each extremely popular in their own entertainment category. Thus, it just kind of makes sense to bring the two together. Thankfully for those of you who are into both, Microsoft and the BBC have partnered up to do exactly that, by way of digital downloadable content for Minecraft on the Xbox 360. Starting next month, players will have access to character packs from Doctor Who, including skins of The Doctor himself, his companions and his mad enemies — all from throughout the show’s entire history, not only from most recent seasons. No word yet on if this also applies to the upcoming Xbox One edition of Minecraft, but it wouldn’t surprise us if that was the case.
