Interesting how they use QR codes to tie-up the installation flow.

I agree. Also, that's a pretty awesome looking QR code.

It's actually five QR codes, and some probably meaningless junk in between.

I really enjoy the new user experience on mobile these days. Really intuitive and works well with native Android features. Particularly think adding new files (multiple at once) has gotten a lot easier. Haven't had a chance use the new sign-up form but it looks great.

Hopefully they build a way to view an entire long filename on the ipad version. Not impressed with their current mobile offerings.

I gave up on Dropbox on ipad ever since using Bittorrent Sync. Dropbox started forcing me to keep their app open (to sync). Not going to happen. Bittorrent sync works like a charm to get the photos/videos off of ipad. I don't see a need for Dropbox anymore.

I stopped using Dropbox after they hired the notorious war-criminal: Condoleezza Rice.

Bittorrent sync needs to add QR code support to their desktop app so you can get the sync secrets off a device easily.

They also need a more 1-way process, something which will only forward version new files.
