Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Dropbox - the best cloud service to date. It works on all possible platforms, it allows you to synchronize between a PC and the application has good functionality. Not surprisingly, Dropbox is very popular.
On iOS for a long time there is the official app Dropbox and it is quite good. But the developers of Tapwings this was not enough and they decided to make an alternative client, adding to useful functions. In the end, it turned out much better official. Let's see what interesting things prepared in Boxie guys from Tapwings.
Boxie supports all the functions of official Dropbox application: file uploads, offline access, management of folders and files, and view your files well, all possible formats, of course. But the interface, Boxie different from Dropbox. Instead of four tabs at the bottom, all menu items are concentrated in the left sidebar. In principle, it is not better or worse than the official eppe, just different. ё
Icons of folders and files flat design application "clean" and tidy, so that visually Boxie harmony with the new iOS 7. This is an important point, because I personally work with applications in the old design to the new "seven" uncomfortable, the difference between the old and new applications is great, and return to the kingdom very skeuomorph I do not want.
Yet the main thing in Boxie - this is not the design (although it is also important), and the functions that are not available in the official client. First - it is possible to view deleted files. From any folder, just tapnite icon at the top right and select «Show deleted files». You will find all the files that were once removed, and you can easily recover them. Moreover, Boxie can display all the available versions of the file that was uploaded to Dropbox. It turns such analog Versions of OS X. In my opinion, a very cool feature.
The second feature - this bookmark. Suppose you want to quickly jump to a certain file or folder, but you do not want to download it for offline access. No problem, select the desired folder or file and simply enter them into the bookmark. You can easily navigate to the desired folder or file in the Bookmarks menu.
At this chip Boxie not end there. There is quite simply management organized folders and files - most of the activities you can do with swipe. And if you assume constantly need all the documents in a specific folder, you can save them "at once", and not to download one that takes time. No worse than usual Dropbox, you can share files and folders with other people: Copy the link to the clipboard, quickly share LINC social networks.
I liked that you can view photos in slideshow mode, as in the conventional off-line viewer imagery. The ability to customize the collation of files - is also quite convenient.
Now as Dropbox-client on my iPhone I use Boxie and very pleased with it. Good interface, fast and stable work, a lot of useful chips, which are not in the official client. However, sometimes there are problems with the opening of some files, especially videos, but Tapwings fairly quickly correct all defects. I am sure that this problem they will cope, well, it does not affect the assessment of the application as a whole. Boxie -best dropbox-client on iOS, which is worth a try.
And how do you use a client for Dropbox?
