Another Dropbox for BlackBerry update has arrived. In case you missed it, version 1.0.34 is available for download. Updated from version 1.0.32 this release covers quite a few bugs that users had submitted. The full change log is below:
- saving non-ascii texts results in garbled text
- handling of edge cases when running out of space on sd card and in device memory
- open-edit-upload usecase wasn't working for devices with encryption enabled
- share link freezes for some users
- open-edit-upload usecase fails for files with non-ascii filenames
- "would you like to allow logging" dialog shouldn't appear on first launch
- on rotatable devices, in image gallery, the displayed/cached image is smaller than screen size (shouldn't happen)
- app should ask for permissions in advance on first launch
- app should support multiple third-party app associations for a given file type (e.g multiple pdf viewers)
- music/video stops when screen fades out
- user gets a "not enough room to write file" message when trying to open a file that's already open in docs2go
If you've had issues with previous releases you'll want to make sure you update. Each update seems to get better and better so be sure to fire off some feedback if you experience issues.

Dropbox for BlackBerry updated to v1.0.34
Has anyone figured out how to upload like PDFs and TXT files? I tried this one out too and I can't find a way to do it. Wish Dropbox would tell us.
sendtodropbox.com
for now...it'll be a while before they integrate that into our bb app.
asks to set permission. I save. Freezes. Reboot. Repeat. Same.
yeap...same here on my tour. Maybe uninstall then put it back up again?
I had the same problem initially on my Storm 2 9550. When it asks to change the permissions, change 1 or 2, then change back & save. That finally worked for me!
tried again and failed. other people are having problems as well.

Fails for me too (Torch). So much for bug fixes...
Installed and ran just fine here (torch 9800)
after update from 1.0.32 to 1.0.34 and rebooted, then open the Dropbox application show "Error starting dropbox: Error loading module 'dropbox' VerifyError.
please help.

I am using 9700 5.0.0.656(1111)
I'm not seeing the benefit of having this application on my phone. I use Dropbox in my computer and can access the mobile version of the site on my BB's browser. It has the same functionality and I won't have to worry about error messages, the app crashing, or using up memory. Am I missing something?
we're all just hoping they add uploading of files. that'll make the app worthwhile
Can't get pass the permission setup. No good for Storm 2.
STILL not on App World?
What's the holdup?
This is waste of time to download cuz it doesn't more from the permission screen for me either is it even OS 6 compatable??
Set your default permissions all to allow, then download and install. Once installed, you can then revert them back if you do so wish as Dropbox will have been already allowed.
Not ideal but, it works.
Locked up my BB. Downloaded. Install. Set permissions. Reboot. Went to view a pdf and it locked up. Looks like im not the only person here with the same problem.
Given the problems I'm hearing with the new version I probably won't update unless I run into any with the old. Have only used for photos but it's really cool!
out of the gate terrible - worse than the previous version especially if ya can't even get going! if dropbox doesn't bounceback with a subsequent release THIS WEEK then i will ditch this unfavourable "cloud". someone at dropbox is gonna get a hurt REAL BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
I have restarted my BB a number of times now just to see if it could help. I uninstalled it then reinstalled it 2 times. The 2nd time, I didn't press menu and 'save' right away. I set all permissions to default then it prompted me to restart. Same issues. No go.
I downloaded it and had the same issue as everyone else. for my 9700 the correct version for os5 is still v1.0.32
i just sent myself the direct link for os5 from https://www.dropbox.com/blackberry/download/forums
it only let you save pics to it. once they change that i think i might give it another shot.
I wish it would actually let me save files to my memory card from within the program. That way I could actually email them or do whatever I wanted to with them.
The other day I dropped a jpg in there, hoping to be able to bbm it to someone after grabbing it from DropBox, only to find that all dropbox would let me do is view it and create a public link to it. This is a pretty obvious hole in functionality. Just let me highlight the file in the listing and download it onto my phone, THANKS.
