Like most times when new devices arrive, there is typically a little bit of lag from when the devices release and apps get updated. Such is the case for Dropbox for BlackBerry. When the Bold 9900 and 9930 arrived on the scene Dropbox would load up but only to a blank screen. Now, a new forums build is available for BlackBerry 7 users and indeed does give you a working Dropbox for BlackBerry, plus adds some new features:
New features:
- Security passcode
- Save email attachments to Dropbox
This build resolves:
- Issues on 9900 & 9930 devices (BB OS 7 support for other devices should be working fine)
- Bug on thumbnails screen where only a few thumbnails were loaded
- Performance issues (more work to be done here)
- Various design tweaks
Known issues we're working to resolve:
- Passcode is not engaged when you hit the button to turn off the screen (only when you leave the app)
- Cached files are re-downloaded unnecessarily

If you haven't heard of Dropbox, it's a great app for syncing files across multiple platforms. Yesterday Dropbox released an update...

No more searching through folders everytime you need that logo or the 'good' pictures of the kids; just add them to your Favorites and they're available at the click of a button. As always, the Dropbox app...
Dropbox for BlackBerry updated to v1.0.39.34
After a bit of a meltdown on Sunday Dropbox has recovered and is back up and (securely) running. Their BlackBerry app has again been updated, this time what looks to be some minor bug fixes. Whether the "fixes" are related to their secutiry breach we're not sure, but better safe than sorry right? No change log this time around but it doesn't look like anything major has changed (if you...
