I like the idea of Apple’s iDisk service, but I hate how slow it is. So I, like millions of others, have turned to Dropbox to sync files and folders across multiple computers.
The one thing iDisk held over Dropbox’s head was it’s iPhone app. Today, that changed.
The Dropbox app (iTunes link) is out and here’s how they’re touting it:
• Access your Dropbox on the go
• Download files for offline viewing
• Sync photos and videos to your Dropobx
• Share links to files in your Dropbox
After playing with the app for several minutes, I’m pretty impressed. The “upload exsisting photo or video” feature is really nice — with this, I can upload photos to my Dropbox from anywhere. The whole thing feels like something Apple should have made.*
They even included a PDF showing off how to use it. Well done, Dropbox team.
*Which raises the question — why does iDisk suck so bad?
