What's new in Dropbox - 5th Edition

Hi all

 

Welcome to another edition of our 'What's New in Dropbox'. If you missed any previous edition, you can read them all here. 

 

The goal of this edition is to give you a bit more insights on what's happening in Dropbox and Dropbox Paper. You're welcome to add comments and feedback!

 

Thanks and have a great read :)

 

 

Desktop IPv6

The Dropbox application now supports connecting on networks that utilize IPv6 addressing. Should your internal network operate with IPv6 addresses then the desktop application will recognize this and operate within this environment. If, for any reason, the network were to change to using IPv4 addressing then we would continue to operate.
 
In the event that you are running a dual-stack IP implementation and both IPv6 and IPv4 are available, Dropbox will take the IPv6 network by default but may take IPv4 in situations where IPv6 addresses are slow to resolve. 
 

Drag and Drop on Paper

We’ve recently released drag and drop features for columns and rows in Paper tables. Now you can reorganize your tables without having to copy/paste the content!  

Raw photo previews

Dropbox now previews raw photos on the web, iOS, and Android apps. We support previews for multiple file type extensions. You can see the full list here. There are some exceptions to which RAW file extensions are supported, and we will share more updates on this once we have more information. 
 

New Dropbox web with enhanced UI

To make dropbox.com even better and easier to use, we’re rolling out an updated design. A few things have changed with the redesigned version of dropbox.com. You can read them all in details on our Help Center:

 

Hope you enjoyed it!

      Hey, dropbox.com has changed and it now takes more steps and more time to upload photos and share a folder. Does anyone know of a good data storage provider that is more sensitive to customer needs?

      Hey, I can figure out how to use the new web page, but don't see what benefit it provides. Looks like dropbox.com just got a new broom and checking to see if it works.

      Add tagging capabilities to files.  Then add a way to sort/view by tag.  Folders work in some areas but are cumbersome in the photo folder.  This seems like a no brainer but would love to here some technical/marketing/business related reasons why this isn't practical.  I see Dropbox attempting to grow outside of file storage with Paper and the new professional oriented services which is cool BUT Dropbox is used by the masses because it does one thing better than everyone else- effortlessly manages files across multiple platforms.  I want to support Dropbox and see them do awesome.  The direction they seem to be going doesn't appear to jive with the reasons I use the service.  Any thoughts?
