Cloud storage behemoth Dropbox has made a couple of
announcements today that should make a lot of people happy.
The company’s first announcement involves the company’s
email management app – Mailbox, which was initially an iOS offering. Today the
app lands on the Google Play store and brings the much of the iOS app’s
features to droid land.
But aside from the usual swipes and snoozes feature of the
iOS app, the one for android comes with an Auto-swiping functionality.
Basically, the app remembers and learns from a user’s swipes and snoozes to
automate common actions. This feature is most useful whenever a user swipes
away less important emails and triggers the system to archive similar emails of
the same nature in the future.
The Auto-Swipe feature will be synced across a user’s different
email accounts and devices so your preferences will be applied even though you’re
using different devices to check your emails.
Another app that Dropbox introduced today is Carousel. It is
a photo management app available for both Android and iOS that takes photos
from your Dropbox account/s and organizes them by time, date and event.
Users can also share their photos to other people and send
photos and messages to people in the contact list, a lot like how Instagram
Direct works. Carousel is now available for free on both the Google Play Store
and Apple App Store.
