Building Dropbox’s New User Experience for Mobile (dropbox.com)

I really enjoy the new user experience on mobile these days. Really intuitive and works well with native Android features. Particularly think adding new files (multiple at once) has gotten a lot easier. Haven't had a chance use the new sign-up form but it looks great.


Interesting how they use QR codes to tie-up the installation flow.


When I saw that, I literally said "well that's adorable."


I agree. Also, that's a pretty awesome looking QR code.


It's actually five QR codes, and some probably meaningless junk in between.


Wow, I missed that the first time. Looking at it now, they pop out immediately.


I stopped using Dropbox after they hired the notorious war-criminal: Condoleezza Rice.


Hopefully they build a way to view an entire long filename on the ipad version.

Not impressed with their current mobile offerings.


I gave up on Dropbox on ipad ever since using Bittorrent Sync. Dropbox started forcing me to keep their app open (to sync). Not going to happen. Bittorrent sync works like a charm to get the photos/videos off of ipad. I don't see a need for Dropbox anymore.


Bittorrent sync needs to add QR code support to their desktop app so you can get the sync secrets off a device easily.

They also need a more 1-way process, something which will only forward version new files.


I gave up on Dropbox when they hired Condaleeza Rice as a board member and consultant while they build out their solution for shunting everyone's data to the NSA.
