Unofficial Dropbox app for Windows Phone now allows automatic camera uploads

Boxfiles queue

Nosotros terminal wrote well-nigh Boxfiles for Dropbox back in December. The app comes into two flavors (a free version and a paid one) and has undergone numerous updates since then.

The latest just hit the Marketplace and it brings a really neat characteristic that many of you may savour: automatic photographic camera uploads to your Dropbox account.

This is very useful and desirable because although Windows Phone can practise this for Skydrive, it re-scales images automatically leaving you with a "just good enough for the web" sized memory. That's a problem though if, like u.s., you want to back up your photos to "the cloud" merely at their total resolution. Even more so if you have a device like the Titan Two with a 16MP camera and photos averaging around 2MB in size.

Version iii.6 of Boxfiles brings this feature only we should point out that information technology's non entirely 100% automatic meaning yous snap a shot and off it goes. Instead you lot do need to open the app for a few seconds as it volition scan your camera directory on the phone and upload and new pics to your Dropbox business relationship.

But once the queuing takes place (normally only a few seconds) you tin close the app as it volition upload the photos in the background, so you don't need to babysit the app. It's basically a one-touch app to upload all your latest camera shots.

You lot can likewise choose a specific directory (or create a new ane) to upload the photos too and pick if you want WiFi-only or both WiFi/Cellular data usage. Our favorite function though is how it allows you lot to browse your photos via thumbnails in addition to simply the obscure files-names. Finally, Boxfiles as well integrates with your Skydrive account giving yous the choice to manage those files from within the app. A overnice bonus.

So far merely the paid version has been bumped with this characteristic though we imagine the complimentary one will go it at some betoken as well. What tin we say? Of all the Dropbox apps on the Marketplace, we happen to similar this one the most and this new auto-upload features makes bankroll up and sharing our pics easier.

Option up Boxfiles for Dropbox here in the Marketplace for $1.29 with a gratis trial.

Update: For those of you lot in Europe, the app is currently in certification so y'all'll take the update within a few days. Sit down tight.
