Do you want to share?

Dropbox is, arguably, the biggest and best in free cloud storage
services. Whether you buy into that or not, you cannot ignore the
awesome number of 100 million users.
For no cost at all, 2GB is not such a bad deal. Then you have to
consider the fact that you can rack up a lot more space for free by
taking actions such as referring friends.
Considering that the online storage scene is getting more crowded with time, it is but to be expected that services like Dropbox expand their portfolio. Late last year, Dropbox’s acquisition of photosharing startup Snapjoy was announced.
This month, we are going to be treated to new Dropbox features:
instant document preview and virtual photo album sharing. The latter is
an obvious corollary to the Snapjoy acquisition, and it is something
that Dropbox users will find very convenient.
The new Dropbox features are being rolled out, so if you do not see anything about virtual photo sharing, here’s a peek.
Dropbox Photo Share
For sure, this new feature will get more users to be active. You
probably know at least a handful of people who have had their Dropbox
accounts forever but are not active users. With the full-fledged photo
sharing feature, Dropbox is more than likely to attract more users. Of
course, the integrated sharing features help as well.
As for the instant document preview, it does exactly what it says on
the tin. There is no more need to download and open a document before
sharing it with others if you have no clue if it contains the
information that you need. By giving you a glimpse of the contents of
any document you have stored on Dropbox, the preview feature saves you
time and effort.
Even if you don’t have the preview issue when using Dropbox, the
addition of the photo sharing feature is something that definitely adds
value to the cloud storage platform. Now I just wish I’d get the new
Dropbox features already.
