Dropbox does it again: mobile API and apps for Android and iPad

Filed under: Utilities, Web services, Mobile, Android

If you don't have Dropbox yet, where have you been? We've raved about this awesome cloud-based storage service before, and now Dropbox's mobile offerings are expanding in a big way. The Dropbox Mobile API was just released, along with apps for Android and iPad. This new push is called Dropbox Anywhere, and it's great news for users.

With the new mobile API, developers will be able to write apps that access your Dropbox files, meaning you won't have to keep the files stored on your mobile device. Sure, you can complain that Dropbox doesn't have apps for enough devices yet, or that there's no automatic syncing for the Android app, but what Dropbox has built so far is a pretty big deal, and it's still a work in progress.

Blackberry users, take note: a Dropbox app is coming to your device soon (probably this summer!).
