Dropbox update brings automatic screenshot uploads, iPhoto sync

Dropbox has added a couple of new features, which could actually be pretty useful for a lot of Mac users. So far, Dropbox auto-uploaded photographs but with this update a user can simply take a screenshot and Dropbox will automatically save it to the user account in cloud, as well as save the link of the screenshot to the clipboard. This is a nifty feature as people usually take screenshots to share it with others and Dropbox will now do this automatically.

This will help in easy sharing of the screenshots and a user will be able to do so by easily sharing these links saved on their desktop clipboard. Additionally, the app users on Mac can now import copies of the photos from iPhoto for iOS, directly to Dropbox account. The update adds a new importer to the app which does the importing of iPhoto library to Dropbox with a single click.


These features are add-ons to the Dropbox’s recently announced Camera Uploads feature to automatically save all photos from camera of a phone or desktop to Dropbox account. And if one does not want to integrate this update, one can simply make changes that from account settings to keep things unchanged.
