Dropbox today announced the release of its latest version of its iOS app. The new version comes with “camera upload feature” which lets you stores all the photos and videos taken by your iPhone or iPad to a Camera Uploads folder automatically. The best thing is that it stores all the photos and videos at its original quality.

Once the “camera upload feature” is selected, it give you the option whether or not you want existing photos and videos to be uploaded as well. The configuration options let you choose whether you want to enable the upload on all connection (i.e. even on your data plan) or WiFi only (advisable). Suggestible is to choose WiFi only as it will not eat a big chunk of your data plan and will upload the photos only when your iPhone or iPad connects to a WiFi network.

3 GB of extra space:

Similar to what Dropbox offered for its Android app, if you use the camera upload feature of the Dropbox app, you can get upto 3 GB of extra space on the top of what you already have. This extra space comes in the segments of 500 MB. Which means with your first photo/video upload you will get 500 MB of extra space. When you have used this 500 MB of space with camera uploads, you will get another 500 MB and so on up to 3GB. Obviously, 3 GB offer is nothing compared to Box.com’s offer of 50GB of free space for using its Android app but then Box is no Dropbox either.

If you are an iPhone or iPad user, don’t miss this chance to get the extra space for free. Cheers
