LAN Sync and Undo History: Two Great Feature of Dropbox



Dropbox team has been hard at work for the last few months updating some great features for this excellent service. Dropbox is changing Undo History, and can automatically:
  • Safeguards any files you delete in case you need to undelete them
  • Saves old file versions in case you need to go back to them later
It's like having "undo" for all your files and folders.

Now, Dropbox keeps these deleted files and old file versions ("undo history") forever. For many people this creates clutter, and it also wastes space. Because of this, from August 1st, Dropbox is taking the new policy which will keep 30 days of undo history. If you'd like to have unlimited undo history, then you need to upgrade to one of our paid accounts.

Performance Improvements and LAN Sync

In addition to that, Dropbox are also finishing up a new version of the Dropbox desktop software that features numerous performance improvements and an amazing new "LAN sync" feature. LAN sync knows will give you facility like - when Dropboxes are on the same network and will automatically exchange files directly between computers instead of downloading them from our servers - this makes sharing large files in an office environment much faster than was previously possible. No doubt this will save our Internet Bandwidth.

iPhone App Almost Here!
In addition to this change to undo history and LAN Sync, in the near future Dropbox will be releasing our free iPhone app that will allow you to access your Dropbox on the go, view your files, save them to your phone, and even take photos that sync instantly to your Dropbox!
