  • I can confirm that the restore purchase feature works for those of us who just purchased the app. Seriously this app is better than the default Dropbox app, it works so incredibly well.
  • Sorry Dropbox, this how one designs an app.
  • How do you preview photos via big thumbnails? Thus is the only aspect I'm missing from the default Dropbox app and it's a deal-breaker for me. Sent from the iMore App

  • It's about time, I didn't know how long this was going to take. I'm glad they made the move. Sent from the iMore App
  • Why would I want to give yet another company direct access to dropbox?
