Dropbox
has finally released an official app for Microsoft’s Windows platform.
This news comes soon after Microsoft’s Windows 10 event which took place
yesterday.
In
a blog post, the company’s Product Manager Matthew Jaffe announced the
availability of Dropbox for Windows mobiles. The app will work on
Windows phones (8.0 or higher) and Windows devices running on Windows RT
or Windows 8.1.
The
new app will allow users to backup their files to Dropbox and access
them from any compatible device. The app automatically backs up your
photos to your account and users can mark files as favorites to access
them even when they don’t have internet. The app also provides access to
personal as well as professional accounts. Users will receive
additional 2GB of cloud storage once they log in from their Microsoft
devices.
The app has entered the Windows app store quite late. Dropbox has been available for iOS and Android for quite some time now.
Earlier
reports suggest that Microsoft and Dropbox had teamed up for Office
integration. Microsoft said the functionality would be included in the
next updates to the Office mobile apps and online accessibility would be
available in the first half of 2015. Microsoft already has a
file-sharing service called OneDrive, but partnering with Dropbox will
allow it to tap more than 200 million users of the Silicon Valley
startup‘s services.
