"Google cleanyness"?

What a logo on a white background with a search box?

If you are meaning to say "simple and clean", like an Apple product or the Apple website then we can agree. Google is not known for having the best design. I think it would be wiser from Dropbox to follow industry leaders.

I Don't agree. I think the Google cleanyness is perfect the kind of site dropbox is.

One thing I might do on your second mockup is include a search field above the file browser on the left of the second image. Always nice to have search nearby.

The first pic show the account as 24gb is that a sign of things to come!?! C'mon the demand is out there for a 25gb account! :D

I dont like the idea of a dashboard for dropbox. Why would I want a dashboard. There are some very important usecases like looking at my files or at my event-history. Those button on the new dashoard are much much less important usecases.
Please dont change it this way. I will have to klick one more time each time I visit the page.

I am ALL about the iPhone app IF it allows offline storage. Currently, I carry some documents on my phone with AirShare, but syncing is not possible. If I could sync files with my iPhone, I would DEFINITELY be willing to pay for an app. Please include that capability.

So who won the 50GB account give away?
I am too anxiously waiting the iPhone app, hope it's free or at least reasonably priced and it's available to Free account users not just paid users (ala Remember the Milk, iPhone app free with paid subscription). Make it so that free users can purchase the app too!
The redesign is looking good but I have no complains on the site's design as it is right now so (to me) that can wait...!

I just wanted to say thank you. I have been using Dropbox for about two months now and don't know how I lived with out it. Keep up the great work!

Hey guys,
Just passing by to praise you for the great work that has been done so far.

I'm pretty sure you must be already working on the an iPhone App so I'd like to tell us my point of view, as a daily user of the service. If you are thinking of a paid App you must consider that the costumers just don't want something useless like the other Apps in the App Store. Here are some tipps:

- upload from iPhone
As your business is online storage, how about the user to be able to upload fotos, musics and docs on-the-go? The more possibilities to upload, the more space one needs, the bigger the chances for one to upgrade for a paid account.

- offline documents
No App has it. You would be great to improve it, right?

Only my opinions dudes.
Keep up the great work.

picture, files and mp3s
spread across virtual seas
the volume grows and grows
like water from a hose
50 gigs of Dropbox if you please

hi! great improovements! one thing i would love to see is a icon-view (so i can get a quick overview of different files mixed with images in one folder - without having the photos in a "album")

thanks! keep on rocking

I am ecstatic to see a search feature on the left, at long last. Please, whatever you do, don't axe that!

Don't forget Android! I love Dropbox, though, I'm not disappointed in it, especially since I can get to dropbox on the web interface on android. Still, a syncing app would be bad-ass.

Even better use of dropbox.. Looks very promising.
I recently blogged about me being a drop box.. fan!

Looking forward to see the updates.

I agree with Dirka.

I'm going for the 50 GB lifetime. Hope I'm on the right thread, but here goes ...

Some files were adrift in-between
Their writers' and editors' screens
It all came together
Like cold beer in warm weather
When Dropbox arrived on the scene

or here's another one:

There once was folder called Dropbox
Where nothing has ever gone lost
It works on-the-fly
As our docs multiply
(Wish I had one for tracking my socks)

and another:

Attachments to emails have their place
But working files need a shared space
So now, with Dropbox,
And tracking that rocks
Our workflow's now flowing with grace

Hi !
Great to hear news outside the forum :)
And one more time thank you for this so great apps: Smart, Simple, Powerfull

What about folder filters sync ;-)

Yeah agree with spacebar about the homepage icons. I can't see myself needing any of these options very often so it would feel like a bit of an unecessary page. Agree that either being able to customize those links or set a different default starting page would be useful.

The rest looks great though.

The new design is so sweet
And that's got me in heat
I'm serious
And rather curious
Those 50 gigs
Got me shakin' ma' hips!

Unfortunately I have another one that's bigger. I cannot sync and backup any folder(s) in my machine (and exclude sub-folders). It's too limiting for serious work usage.

'the release of the Linux CLI' -- is there an official CLI-only client? that would be great!

Yeah, that's the only complain you can make to them
