Software Update: Dropbox 2.4.8

A new stable version of Dropbox has been released. Dropbox is an online storage service that makes it possible to synchronize files between different computers. In addition, files and photo albums can be shared with people who don’t have Dropbox accounts. Clients are available for Windows, Linux, OS X, iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Kindle Fire. A free account gives access to 2GB of storage, with the option to expand it by introducing new users. For ten, twenty or fifty dollars a month, that’s 100GB, 200GB or 500GB respectively. In version 2.4.0, among other things, the option to automatically save screenshots to Dropbox has been added. The following bug fixes have been made in this release:

New in 2.4.8

• Fix an issue that could cause Dropbox to repeatedly restart.
• Fix an issue that caused unnecessary “Rejected by server” errors before syncing was complete.
• Fix an issue that can cause files with ResourceForks to be reconstructed improperly.
• Fix an issue that caused Dropbox to fully reindex.
• Other minor fixes.
