The official Dropbox app has arrived for Windows 8. It's been close to two months since Microsoft announced at the Build developer conference that the online file storage and sharing app was coming.
Dropbox for the Windows UI is almost what you'd expect from a Dropbox mobile-style application. You can use Dropbox for Windows 8 to browse and view your files; open, edit, and save files from other Windows 8 apps; and search for files and folders using the Windows 8 search charm.
However, you can't upload new files using the Dropbox app or the Share charm inside other Windows 8 apps. Dropbox for Windows 8 runs on both Windows 8 and Windows RT devices. The app also supports Dropbox's two-factor authentication.
The new Dropbox app adheres to the style of Microsoft's Windows 8 UI and lets you scroll horizontally to view your files and folders. Folders are indicated by a bold blue tile with a folder icon and the folder name; files use a thumbnail icon, the file name, and appear in a lighter blue. Clicking on a file will allow you to open it in the app of your choice, although photo previews open automatically inside the Dropbox app.
