New Drop Box Feature

Ram Across this press release . . .

Dropbox rolled out an update Tuesday that makes it easier for users to collaborate on shared files with a new commenting feature that allows people to have conversations within individual documents.

Interesting...step toward a Google Docs-like system?

Having not used Google Docs, I can't compare - but I will say this is really helpful for my company.

We have a Business Account, and therefore a ton of storage, so we archive all photos and videos to the cloud and not our computers. Marketing can ask Artistic to view a particular folder of images and they can comment on the side bar (of comments) about approvals, edits they want made, etc. Then Marketing gets a notification when comments are made. I've gone through and ID'd the artists in the comment area. A lot faster than someone writing down photo ID numbers and relaying them through email.

I can't wait to use it more!
