The Dropbox team has been hard at work these past few months and we'd like to tell you about some upcoming changes and enhancements to the Dropbox service.
We're Changing Undo History
Did you know that Dropbox automatically:
Safeguards any files you delete in case you need to undelete them
Saves old file versions in case you need to go back to them later
It's like having "undo" for all your files and folders.
Today, Dropbox keeps these deleted files and old file versions ("undo history") forever. For many people this creates clutter, and it also wastes space.
Because of this, beginning August 1st, our new policy will be to keep 30 days of undo history. If you'd like to have unlimited undo history, then you need to upgrade to one of our paid accounts.
Please choose one of the following:
Upgrade my account to have unlimited undo history
or
30 days of undo history is all I need
iPhone App Almost Here!
In addition to this change to undo history, in the near future we'll be releasing our free iPhone app that will allow you to access your Dropbox on the go, view your files, save them to your phone, and even take photos that sync instantly to your Dropbox!
Performance Improvements and LAN Sync
In addition to the iPhone app, we're also finishing up a new version of the Dropbox desktop software that features numerous performance improvements and our new "LAN sync" feature. LAN sync knows when Dropboxes are on the same network and will automatically exchange files directly between computers instead of downloading them from our servers - this makes sharing large files in an office environment much faster than was previously possible.
We've received great feedback from many of our users and are working on a lot of the stuff you've been asking for. Stay tuned and happy Dropboxing!
Reçu itou. Perso je suis passé à l'offre 50Go y'a quelques semaines, c'est super pratique. J'attends juste la possibilité de synchroniser des répertoires de son choix, en plus du classique dossier "Dropbox".
Hi guys,
The 0.7 series has finally gone stable! If you're using previous dev builds, you need to upgrade all of them for LAN sync to work properly. We plan to auto-update everybody to this build in the next month or so.
Since the previous stable build:
- Many performance improvements
- Many memory improvements
- Many stability fixes
- Toolbar buttons added to Finder on OS X
- LAN sync
For an error free install on Linux, first make sure Dropbox is stopped by choosing "Stop Dropbox" from the tray icon menu. Then run the following commands in your home directory:
$ rm -r .dropbox-dist/
$ tar xzf dropbox-lnx.x86-0.7.79.tar.gz # or x86_64
On m'a dit que les versions payantes permettent d'avoir plusieurs comptes, mais je ne vois rien qui parle de ça sur leur site. Est-ce que ça signifie qu'il faut en acheter autant que de compte ? Si oui, je suppose qu'on peut utiliser la version gratuite aussi. Par exemple 2 comptes, un acheté à 50 Go et un gratuit à 2 Go.
C'est ça ?
Et pour les boites mail ? Becky, mon courrielleur met tout dans un dossier. Si je mets ce dossier dans DropBox, il me semble que ça devrait marcher, qu'en pensez vous ?
faut voir... sous mac, je ne sais pas, pour les mails....
en fait, le terme de "plusieurs comptes" je ne saisis pas bien.... j'ai un compte... installé sur plusieurs ordis.. et sur mon iphone.. épi point...
et puis, généralement, quand on fait certaines petites choses, on peut avoir jusqu'à 3go sur la version gratuite.. c dejà TRES suffisante pour bcp bcp bcp d'utilisation... (évidemment pas celle consistant à mettre toute sa sonothèque en PCM 96khz, 24 bits... ni celle de mettre sa session PT avec une bobine HD et 68 pistes dedans)
