Dropbox Can Now Automatically Sync Your Android Photos (And It Has More Up Its Sleeve)

Last year, Dropbox raised a whopping $250 million funding round at a valuation in the ballpark of $4 billion. The raise had been rumored for months so it didn't come as a huge surprise, but it still raised plenty of eyebrows. Because while Dropbox is totally awesome (I use it every day), at this point people see it as a convenient way to sync their files between computers ? which it already does pretty well. So what's all the money for? Today, we're getting our first taste of what's next, and what cofounder and CEO Drew Houston calls Dropbox's mission to solve all of the "hidden problems" that people have with technology, many of which we've simply become accustomed to dealing with. Their first solution to one of these hidden problems? Helping you keep all of your photos, from all of your devices, in one place. And to get things started, they're launching a new version of their Desktop and Android clients that'll automatically upload your photos to your Dropbox account. Snap a few photos on your phone, and, without having to hook up any wires, they'll be on your computer within a minute or two.
