Community ManagerHi everyone, thanks for your interest! Currently the iOS app is available to download, and we’ll let the team know of the interest in an Android version.
Amy - given that there are more android users than iOS, I would have thought 'the team' would be aware there
would be interest. There are more than 2 billion android users on the planet for goodness sake!!!
Why would you even considder pandering to IOS when it only has a 27% of the market and Android has 71%? The only reasion I can thik of is some affilliation to this minority opperating system.

- Because rather than having a single set of standards to adhere to, such as in iOS, developers must understand and try to make their applications compatible with a wide variety of hardware and software configurations.
So it’s not actually 72%, but 100’s of smaller markets, each of which must be individually tested for compatibility against a Dropbox app. If a developer finds a problem on the 100th device, she needs to test that fix against all of the 99 other devices. Not only is this tedious and expensive, but it is a really good way to burn out your developers.
See?
