When is DropBox going to have an option to check for updates?

Something that runs nearly non-stop on people's systems really should have this by now for better security and stability.

I know it's redundant to repeat what you just said, but this one fables me as well. Can't be so hard, really. Just use Spark Update and be done with it. I'm sure it must be in their best interest that their users have the most recent version installed (to prevent security issues, problems with OS upgrades and whatnot).

Thanks for the info 2step. So it seems it will update a few weeks after the updates are made available.

I still have a MUCH better idea. Make it OPTIONAL first of all in the preferences. For one thing, you'll know what this app is up to (which is nice especially considering Dropbox's poor track record with security) and second of all it brings control back to the USER where it BELONGS.

What a waste of time...

@ 2stepbay: Thanks for the info. Although in my case it didn't seem to auto-update my previous version (1.2.49) before I found, by accident, the currently newest one (1.2.51) here on MacUpdate. Seems odd if new versions show up on MacUpdate before the app gets to update itself. :)

Agree with the suggestions. Always better Users have control over what is being changed.

Knowing DB automatically updates, I never checked the version I'm using (1.2.49). I'll check tomorrow to see if the file was updated. If not, I'll contact Dropbox about their update policy.

I used to use a lot of FTP and then I used a lot of "sending huge files by Google mail" but now I have Dropbox running all the time and I have a box for business and an box for friends and a box that allows me to share my portable stuff over all my boxes. Very cool. Essential. A must have. Also, if you spam all your friends with invites, you can get loads of stuff free, I think. Be careful not to piss anyone off. I have a paid version, I think.

DropBox has generally improved my life in a very real way. It syncs across everything. I can share things actively with my friends, my colleagues, and even photos with the charity I volunteer at -- from my iPhone. I take photos there and before I get home, the social media lady there, Jenn, has my full rez photos in her DropBox. Pretty awesome.

It simply changes the way i share files with my friends, co workers and share things.

I was sick of posting a photo on imageshack or whatever, or sending myself an e-mail with a file, now i just put everything on my dropbox folder (that's very integrated with the system) and everything is good.

My co-worker is notified everytime i put or change a file (not an e-mail or boring notification, just something tiny and effective), and i can easily share the photos of a trip with my family sending a link to a folder inside photos.

Dropbox design and simplicity are really handy and reliable.

Osos10 had trouble on 05 Mar 2011
It looks as if since I installed it "Mail" is crushing quite frequently, in particular every time I switch a location (home, work, etc.) Mail quits. It almost never crushed (I am an OS X user since day 0) till I installed Dropbox - anyone is familiar with that problem ?

If Dropbox hangs or crashes your Finder (it did for me and there are posts that it has done this for other users)... especially when Control-clicking for contextual menus... substitute a locked textedit file for the DropboxPlugin.plugin (~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/DropboxPlugin.plugin) with the exact same name.

It would be much better, of course, if the authors simply allowed the user to either disable the plugin or trash it, but there is no preference setting that will disable it and the plugin recreates itself if it is deleted.

Console will show you that it is this plugin if your Finder is crashing...
Console > Log Files > CrashReporter

Hope this helps.

Imho had trouble on 28 Feb 2010
Am a lucky user of Dropbox. Yesterday night installed the upgrade 0.7.110. This morning Dropbox didn't start up. Error message:

Dropbox Error
Un expected error has occurred during execution of the main script.
ImportError: No module named traceback.

Had to re-install version 0.7.97 and after that Dropbox needed a long time to synchronize, however after about 15 minutes the program reported that only one (small) file had been replaced.

Something wrong with version 0.7.110?

Dropbox just replaced the iDisk part of MobileMe.
I am also using Gmail/Google Apps for IMAP mail (using my own domain instead of this ugly me.com) and fruux for addressbook, ical and safari syncing.

To use Dropbox to sync your Safari bookmarks move your Bookmarks.plist file from ~/Library/Safari/ to ~/Dropbox. Make a symlink of the plist file (I use "ln -l" in Terminal.app but there are also GUI ways to do this) in the ~/Library/Safari location on each of your Macs that you want to use this as their bookmark file.
