Dropbox 1.7.7 - Experimental Feature Build - Windows + Mac + Linux

Dropbox Experimental Feature Build - 1.7.7

Released: 2013-02-25




Happy Sunday!

Introducing a shiny new feature: a new tray popup that combines the old tray menu features with a timeline of the most important sharing events in your Dropbox. For instance, if someone shares a link with you, you can now see it immediately! Moreover, if someone shares a folder with you, you can now accept or decline the invitation directly from your desktop. Not only are you notified of these events in real time, but you can easily get to them later. Also, files recently edited are made available so you can easily view or share them.

This is a brand new feature and we're just getting started! As such, we're looking for your feedback (and bugs!) while we iron things out.

We're also introducing a smaller installer on Windows that will download the larger installer from a server closer to home. Please give it a try and tell us if you have any problems.

New in 1.7.7

Fix a bug where notifications may enter a bad state without the ability to recover.
Clicking a shared folder invitation now opens the invitation inbox.
Re-enable Notification Center on OSX 10.8.
Fix a bug where the popup would remain visible while the tray icon was hidden while quitting the application.
Improved performance when acknowledging notifications.
Fix a bug where notifications would sometimes fail to appear on Windows.
Other small fixes and polish.

Here are a few things you should know:

This feature is not yet localized in languages other than English.
It is only enabled on Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and above, and on Windows XP and above.
It is not yet enabled on Linux.
