Dropbox iPad App Updated To 1.4

Dropbox today released a massive update of their iPad app. Version 1.4 has introduced many new features, including:

  • upload many photos videos from your camera roll within Dropbox
  • choose what app to open files within your Dropbox
  • better navigation system than previous version

Download the iPad app for free from the App Store.

While the inclusion of the upload feature is a very welcome addition, it’s far from perfect. I navigated to my images folder within the app and hit upload and uploaded two photos from my library. I expecte the images to appear within my images folder as that was the folder to which I navigated. However, the images were uploaded to the root of my Dropbox. When you’re about to upload a document, you need to declare the destination for the upload. It doesn’t upload to the currently active folder by default.

That’s a quirk that I would prefer to be able to customize.

You can download the iPad app for free from the App Store.
