Possibly one of the most convenient applications of all time, Dropbox released the much requested iPhone application for its popular service.
The iPhone application (available here) packs pretty much all of the features you’d expect in its first release. Standard features like viewing any file supported by the iPhone and simple deleting were expected. However, two other features stood out in the app. First, with the Favorites feature you can download files from your Dropbox directly to your iPhone for offline viewing. Second, you can instantly upload photos and videos, taken with your phone, into your Dropbox.
It is nice to see a clean release of this application with some sweet functionality out of the box. The offline downloading of files should offer some creative uses of the application, particularly with music and video sharing.
