Dear Benoit,

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!

Thanks for using Dropbox!
- The Dropbox Team

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
