Any photos you have on Dropbox are about to be organised. A new service called Virtual Photo Album rounds up literally every image you’ve got in Dropbox, puts them in one place, and sorts them by date. Pretty great — or maybe pretty scary if you’re not sure what’s in your Dropbox.
The service will roll out to everyone over the next few months, but a few people are getting it now. It lets you share to Facebook, Twitter, and email right from Dropbox, and you can organise the mass of photos into virtual albums, which themselves are also shareable. It’s pretty cool, even if it feels like something you’d use once to see what kind of awful photos you have in Dropbox, and then never look at again. However, if you use Dropbox’s automatic photo upload feature, then this could be a really nice way to organise your photos if you don’t just stick them all on Facebook.
There’s another minor update from Dropbox that lets you preview PDF, .doc, .docx, and Powerpoint documents from the web client too. Click on the file, and a preview pops up. [Dropbox via TechCrunch]
My Lightroom library is backed up on dropbox, hope they enjoy indexing 30,000 photos
I was impressed with Dropbox when I noticed it had gathered up a load of my pictures and grouped them into folders based on what was in them. It picked out a family gathering that I’d forgotten about, made a folder for each of the gigs I’d been to and even recognised a few mobile shots of my TV as being gaming related. Must have been some kind of witchcraft, but it was pretty neat.
And a good way to get those of us still living off the free 2-8 gig accounts to pay for an upgrade! #clever
Whoo hoo I have this!
I can’t really fault dropbox. Not too bad for a ‘little startup’
my dropbox already does this… i take a pic on my nexus 4.. uploads to dropbox & organizes by date
I <3 Dropbox. I put all my uni work on there while i'm editing it
