One feature many have been asking for is the ability to take a photo in Dropbox and have it instantly add to a folder of your choice. Dropbox has included that and made it simple by clicking the “plus” button inside a folder and having the photo save there right away. Since the photo was taken in Dropbox it instantly uploads to it bypassing the stock gallery app on your phone saving you time and storage space.

You can also find things much faster now. They have included a search icon located in the top menu that can find whatever you are looking for. It can even search for words within a document.

Adding to a better user experience Dropbox has made navigating much easier as well. Just swipe left and right to easily navigate through folders.

Sharing is easier than ever. Sharing controls and file actions like favoriting, moving, and renaming are all in the same place accorss the entire app. It doesn’t matter if you are in a file list, document, or looking at a photo, just head to the info pane to make changes. A more detailed view can also be found there that explains folder locations, edits, and any shared folder members.
