DropBox finally releases its own official app for Windows Phone

Dropbox released an official Windows Phone app today. Previously, there was only an official app for Windows 8.1, but the lack of an official app for Windows Phone was frustrating to say the least. Now that there is a universal app, accessing your Dropbox files on your Windows 8.1 PC, Windows Phone, or Windows 8.1 tablet will be easier than ever.

For now, the Dropbox app for Windows Phone has the following features:  

  • Access your photos, docs, and videos from any device
  • 2 GB of free space when you sign up
  • Share even your biggest files with a simple link – no more attachments!
  • Add files to your “Favorites” for fast, offline viewing

Back in November 2014, WinBeta reported on a Microsoft-Dropbox partnership where users would be able to access Dropbox from within Microsoft Office apps. No word yet on when this Dropbox functionality will be added to the Microsoft Office app for Windows Phone. So, stay tuned, and WinBeta will let you know when that happens. Until then, do not forget to download the official Dropbox app for Windows Phone in the link below!
