- Desktop IPv6:
- The Dropbox application now supports connecting on networks that utilize IPv6 addressing. Should your internal network operate with IPv6 addresses then the desktop application will recognize this and operate within this environment. If, for any reason, the network were to change to using IPv4 addressing then we would continue to operate.
- In the event that you are running a dual-stack IP implementation and both IPv6 and IPv4 are available, Dropbox will take the IPv6 network by default but may take IPv4 in situations where IPv6 addresses are slow to resolve.
- Drag and Drop on Paper:
- We’ve recently released drag and drop features for columns and rows in Paper tables. Now you can reorganize your tables without having to copy/paste the content!

- Dropbox now previews raw photos on the web, iOS, and Android apps. We support previews for multiple file type extensions. You can see the full list here. There are some exceptions to which RAW file extensions are supported, and we will share more updates on this once we have more information.
- New Dropbox web with enhanced UI:
- To make dropbox.com even better and easier to use, we’re rolling out an updated design. A few things have changed with the redesigned version of dropbox.com. You can read them all in details on our Help Center:

- See your team members
New in Dropbox 20.3.16 Testing (Feb 1, 2017)
- NEW DROPBOX BUSINESS PLANS:
- We’re supplementing Dropbox Business by offering three different plan types, some of which come with other optional features:
- Dropbox Enterprise — for larger businesses requiring scalable custom solutions with individualized support
- Dropbox Education — for large educational organizations. Uses student license model
- Dropbox Business:
- the Standard plan — for teams needing powerful storage, sharing, and collaboration tools
- the Advanced plan — for teams and businesses seeking more sophisticated admin, audit, and integration features
- SMART SYNC:
- Smart Sync will allow users to free up hard disk space and revolutionize the way content is stored and recalled. Smart Sync will not replace Selective Sync but instead will run in parallel to it, giving similar end results with dramatically increased functionality.
- WEBSITE DESIGN UPDATE:
- We’re launching a new design on Dropbox.com.
- VIEWER INFO:
- Viewer info allows Business team will allow you and your team members to track the following information for all shared files in Dropbox:
- Who has access to shared files: See a list of people who have access to a particular file. This also shows people outside the team who have access (member list).
- Time stamps of last view (including live presence): Open a file on dropbox.com and see when other collaborators last viewed the file and who is currently viewing it. This info is only displayed for team members (viewer list, link viewers).
- DROPBOX PAPER GOES INTO GENERAL AVAILABILITY:
- Available to all users.
- Announcing availability in 21 languages*: Business teams across the world can now rely on Paper in their language. This includes right to left (RTL) text editing.
- Create smart meeting notes in Paper, where it’s quick to get out agenda and next steps to attendees, especially when Google Calendar is integrated in Paper.
- Keep all your work in one place with projects, which organizes your team’s work in a single shared place.
- Pinned docs: In a project, pin important Paper docs at the top, so project members know what is key project info.
- Manage settings: From within a project, you can adjust the project settings (like title and description), or archive or delete the project.
- Work while offline in Paper iOS & Android mobile apps, where you can still read—and still edit and comment—even without a connection.
New in Dropbox 18.4.32 (Jan 26, 2017)
- DESKTOP:
- Network control:
- Network control is a security and access feature available to Dropbox Enterprise teams. With this feature, IT admins can manage which Dropbox accounts can be used on their corporate network. Using your proxy or CASB vendor, you can specify which Dropbox Enterprise accounts can sign in and sync via dropbox.com or the Dropbox desktop app
- Device approvals:
- Device approvals help Dropbox Business team admins manage the devices that team members use to access Dropbox. Admins can limit the number of connected mobile and desktop devices,and choose how device approvals are applied for their team.
- Faster sync speeds with new Points of Presence launched across the globe:
- We established proxy servers at the network edge, giving us accelerators in California, Texas, Virginia, New York, Washington, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
- A user’s client connects to these edge proxies, completing the initial TLS and TCP handshakes quickly—the proxies have enough buffer space to let the client get through the slow start without having to wait for an ACK from our data centers. In other words, uploading and downloading to Dropbox is now faster than ever.
- Ending support for Internet Explorer 9:
- Starting on Nov 21st, 2016, Dropbox no longer supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 9. This change is in line with the industry trend, as many other large companies have already announced that they're deprecating support for IE9.
- We believe users will have a better experience with the Dropbox website on newer versions of the various web browsers we support.
- Fixed issue on desktop client updates from 13.4 to 14.4/15.3/15.4:
- The latest version the desktop client—v15.4 or greater—resolves an issue encountered by a small number of users on macOS who stored and accessed their Dropbox folders on a remote network location or external drive. These users previously saw an error like this:
- KeyError: ‘Failed to copy description!’
- Upcoming improvements to Selective Sync:
- Selective Sync is more responsive and faster than ever in an upcoming version of the Desktop application. These improvements make managing which folders sync to your computer quicker and smoother. Learn more about how to save space on your hard drive by using Selective Sync

New in Dropbox 1.0.10 (Dec 17, 2010)
- Its highest quality yet:
- This release represents thousands of hours fixing problems people should never have to think about: invalid file names on Windows, weird Unicode normalizations, Word and Excel file locking, abnormal symlinks hierarchies, case sensitive file systems on Mac, TrueCrypt support, …the list goes on. Whether you’re using Dropbox for work, school, or play, we’re confident that today’s Dropbox offers the best file sync experience out there.
- Huge performance enhancements:
- Dropbox 1.0 is strong enough to sync your entire digital life yet still lightweight and fast. We completely re-architected the client-side sync engine to optimize the response time, scale, and resource consumption. Keeping track of millions of files can require lots of memory if not done properly. This version reduces memory usage by up to 50%. It’s speedier and more efficient when handling big changes to your Dropbox while ensuring that smaller changes remain quick.
- Better user experience:
- We’ve completely redesigned our initial setup wizard on all three platforms to make it easier to get started using Dropbox. The preference menus are more organized, intuitive, and snazzy.
- Selective Sync:
- If you have a netbook or a computer with a tiny hard drive, syncing your entire Dropbox isn’t always a great idea. You also might not want certain files on your home computer to pop up on your work computer. Selective Sync solves these problems! You now can choose which folders get downloaded to which computers. This saves you time so you don’t have to sync stuff you don’t need.
- Extended Attribute Sync:
- Syncing resource forks have historically been a pain for Mac users. In case you don’t know, resource forks are a secret area of a file that certain applications (like Quicken, Quark, and OmniGraffle) use to store important data. Most sync programs today completely ignore these forks, which results in a corrupted file on the other end. But worry not! Resource forks and other extended attributes now work great with Dropbox.

New in Dropbox 0.8.1 Experimental (Feb 18, 2010)
- features/enhancements in 0.8.1:
- syncing of extended attributes and resource forks! supporting xattrs reliably and performantly across all three platforms was no small feat. we now sync everything from spotlight comments to label colors, the executable bit, bundle bit, preferences on what application to open a particular file with, etc. just yesterday, we played tic-tac-toe with label colors within a shared folder at dropbox hq
- significantly improved startup time for large dropboxes (all platforms, but particularly on windows)
- countless performance improvements across the board when dealing with large file sets
- the majority of the client now uses a custom-written memory allocator that is much more effective at preventing memory fragmentation/high memory usage
- the dropbox cache folder is now located within the dropbox folder - this should be helpful for those running dropboxes on partitions/profiles with limited space available
- the dropbox sqlite db is now split up into two databases (filejournal.db and sigstore.db). we made several schema changes/optimizations on the client side database and there should be significantly less fragmentation within the client filejournal database. additionally, the size of the database will no longer grow unbounded as it did it the past
- dropbox idle memory usage no longer varies significantly with the number of files in your dropbox. we did a great deal of optimization and re-architecting to make this happen
- patch applied to python GIL to improve concurrency
- features enabled after core sync code appears to be stable:
- selective sync! the interface allows you to check/uncheck any folder/subfolder within your dropbox. deselecting a folder will mean that dropbox won't download (or upload) files within this folder. there's an 'advanced view' that'll allow ignoring of files by path filters.
- new status ui - this interface will allow you to diagnose/fix sync issues with your dropbox. files that can't sync because of illegal characters, permissions errors, low disk space, etc. will all be visible here.
- new native cocoa ui on mac. the preferences menu/setup wizard/status/selective sync UI have been rewritten in cocoa to both appear more native and also to reduce memory footprint (i.e. our preferences UI won't look ugly anymore ;-). once we switch, expect memory usage on OS X dropbox to reduce 10-15MB and for the download size to also drop about 10MB.
- support for completely new/unannounced public sharing model
New in Dropbox 0.7.101 (Jan 22, 2010)
