Dropbox is cutting the price for 1 TB of their cloud storage the service all the way down to $9.99 a month. The change shows that the company is going after Microsoft's OneDrive and Google Drive's paid cloud storage services. Before today, Dropbox Pro offered just 100 GB of space for $9.99, with an upper limit of 500 GB for $500. Now Dropbox Pro's prices are more in line with similar...

That means, if your privacy is ever violated, your data ever damaged, or anything goes wrong in any way at any point in time, you won't be able to sue either directly or as part of a class action. And that may...

Easily integrate Dropbox on your BlackBerry Z10 or BlackBerry Q10!
Do you use Dropbox? It's the August Long Weekend in Canada, so I've been out at the lake the last couple of days chilling with my family. I don't do this enough, so it's nice to take some time to visit, catch up and re-live my youth a bit. I actually consider my two older brothers to be pretty good examples of normal mainstream technology consumers (I know people like myself...
I love how easy it is to browse through files on the BlackBerry PlayBook. I actually prefer to bridge my BlackBerry smartphone and scroll through files through the File Manager than on my BlackBerry alone (with the exception of pictures, of course, since they just show up as a list anyway). The problem with this is that the File Manager is more of a file viewer. Sure you can search or...
There are numerous times per week when I need to quickly get an image or screenshot from my BlackBerry to my computer. For years I used the old method of emailing the file to myself, but after a while that gets to be a chore. It wasn't until I discovered Dropbox that I found I could easily move images from my BlackBerry to my computer with just a few clicks. Granted you can use Dropbox...
Cloud storage is all the rage. On the surface, it seems like PlayBook owners have been left out in the cold. When we look closely, however, we can see that it is easy and powerful to manage all our cloud storage needs right from the PlayBook.
WorldDesk Ltd., a provider of desktop virtualisation software, has launched a beta cloud-based desktop delivery platform leveraging Dropbox. Many of us here at CB are huge fans of Dropbox already and this just gives us one more reason to love it! Previously WorldDesk users could access their files via a USB drive or smartphone. Now with the deployment of WorldDesk via Dropbox, users (...
There are but a few days left in 2011; what better time to share with you my most-used apps of 2011 than now. I love my BlackBerry Smartphone for the communication tool that it is. I have one or two games installed on my device, but that's not what I spend the majority of my BlackBerry time doing. The messages app and browser give me quick access to the world at-large, but there are...
You ever just sit down and look at all the apps installed on your BlackBerry and try to figure out when the last time you used each app was? I used to be really into downloading every single new app that came out, trying them all out but I then realized I wasn't using half of what I installed on a regular basis. Instead, I was just filling up my device with apps I rarely use, if ever...
I haven't had Dropbox on my BlackBerry all that long. Actually, I had it installed on my Bold 9700 and my Torch 9800, but I never really used it. I gave it a go again once a compatible beta build was available, and I use it all the time now on my Bold 9900. If you haven't heard of Dropbox, it's a great app for syncing files across multiple platforms. Yesterday Dropbox released an update...
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...
Dropbox for BlackBerry has been updated again, this time to v1.0.49.1. Along with typical bug fixes, this update also brings with it a new layout and the addition of a Favorites tab. 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...
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...
