Dropbox 1.0 Finally Released

Posted by timothy on from the one-oh-gets-a-cigar dept.

Zack writes "Dropbox has finally released version 1.0. The new version comes with hundreds of bug fixes, including invalid file names on Windows, weird Unicode normalizations, Word and Excel file locking, abnormal symlinks hierarchies, and case sensitive file systems on Mac. It also adds TrueCrypt support, a Rainbow Shell that offers support for extended attributes, selective sync, a new installation wizard, and reduces resource usage."

    As I said earlier in this thread... if you don't know what dropbox is, you are way behind the leading curve.

    This can be good or bad depending on how you are ;).

    I live & work in the valley, but I have no interest in another dot-com that seems to be in a hurry to burn through all their funding while not delivering an application of debatable value to most people. Even if they are wildly successful they will be occupying a small niche and providing free services to most of their clients.
