Get the official Windows Phone client for the well-known and trusted online storage service
Millions use Dropbox as their chief cloud storage service and surely a lot of Windows Phone users waited long enough until the official app finally became available in the Store.

Having this utility installed, any user can upload their files and safely store them in their cloud account, share and manage them even while on the go.

Clean GUI, with an efficient layout

The application brings you a tidy interface, with neatly designed graphics and a well thought-out organization of the content. All the commands are intuitively placed, so as to be very easy to reach and use.

Moving through the stored items and browsing the various menus of Dropbox is smooth and with minor delays when loading folders with large numbers of files inside.

Quick uploads for supported formats

The utility allows you to easily transfer data form your mobile phone to the online storage account, but you will have to add files one at a time because at this time it is not possible to select several items and queue them for upload.

The procedure is pretty fast, but a visible drawback is the limited support for files that can be transferred, as Dropbox is currently able to handle only image files for uploading, lacking the support for videos and documents.

Useful file management options

This app is able to help you create fresh folders in a few instants and it also provides you the necessary tools for moving items inside the cloud storage containers, rename them or remove the files altogether.

Sharing anything stored inside your Dropbox account is very easy to do because the utility generates download links on the spot and you can send a message or post the link on a social network with a couple of taps.

Automatic camera upload and integrated security

The application offers you a neat feature that will make it possible for you to have all the snapshots you take transferred automatically. Called "Camera Upload", this function can be set to work even while the app is open and for background uploads it needs the phone to be locked, connected to the charger and to a WiFi network.

To prevent unauthorized access to your account, you can activate the password protection so that only you or others whom you trust the passcode can view the contents of your Dropbox onto your phone.

In case you are worried about the space occupied by numerous downloads, the utility enables you to manually adjust the cache size from the "Settings" area, as by default there is no restriction in this respect.
