Storing data in the cloud is becoming a very common practice these days and there are several services and dedicated clients available for all users.

Windows Phone owners have a choice between a couple of well-known solutions and those who opted for Dropbox can try CloudSix, a dedicated app for managing all the content stored online through the above mentioned service.

Enjoy a friendly GUI focused on simplicity and practicality

A clean interface, with a simple and very practical layout awaits you inside CloudSix for Dropbox. At first glance it seems evident that the utility has the looks and works to appeal to a lot of users, with conveniently placed commands and smooth navigation from end to end.

Another advantage of this application is the detailed information it provides for each file, so you will know precisely when a certain document was modified and what is its real size.

Easily upload files and create storage containers

Well stored insofar as the file and folder management is concerned, CloudSix for Dropbox will make it possible for you to make new directories, create text files or upload photos on the spot.

There are, nonetheless, some glitches so, when adding a new account, the information might need to be entered a couple of times in a row to have the new account appear in the "Manage Users" area, even if the steps are followed by the book and the procedure seems to be completed successfully.�

Extra features that make the utilization a lot easier

Sharing, marking items as favorites and copying the Dropbox link to those files can be accessed by pressing the target documents for a few seconds and choosing the desired action from the menu that appears.

The favorites pane is placed on the right side of the screen and the main menu on the left, so with one swipe you can reach any of these places. However, the most coveted feature of all is the ability to add and manage several accounts from a single interface and this app is up for the job.

Bottom Line:

8 Design / UI
 

Judging by visual aspect alone, this app comes with a fashionable look that will entice users to give it a go and enjoy the seamless file browsing it offers. The ads are, however, present inside CloudSix for Dropbox and a prompt to evaluate the app may appear once in a while as well.

10 Function
 

A good feature pack ensures users have at their disposal all the necessary tools to take care of the content they upload into their Dropbox account. The ability to manage several accounts from one app is priceless and creating a list of favorite files, fast link sharing and instant photo synchronization also earn it some points.

10 Security
 

The privacy of the user is strictly respected and the app will not tap into sensitive areas to get personal information. More so, it offers a protection method, via a PIN code the user can set in order to secure the access to the application.

7 Battery
 

Transferring data with CloudSix for Dropbox and browsing the cloud storage to manage the files drains the battery faster than expected.

9 Price
 

The impressive array of features provided by this app are all available free of charge and only the presence of the advertisements makes it lose a bit in this respect.

8 Compatibility
 

Meant to be used only with the latest Windows Phone 8 and higher devices, the application has no special needs for working properly and only the 480x800 screen resolution is the minimal requirement.
