Apps have taken over our lives these days to a great extent, and no longer do you need to trouble yourself with a physical photo album for your stored memories, as everything has gone digital now. New apps might make it a snap to capture photos, but to actually archive and catalog those is another challenge altogether.

Dropbox intends to help you out with the introduction of Carousel, which happens to be a gallery for all the photos and videos from your life.
Dropbox on Wednesday debuted a set of productivity tools to help users work more efficiently, including Mailbox for Android, a standalone photo app Carousel, and collaborative editing features.

“What makes me so happy is this family just got a lot bigger,” CEO Drew Houston said from a media event in San Francisco.

Carousel would combine the photos within your Dropbox alongside those snapshots that were captured on your phone, where it will automatically back up new shots as you take them. Carousel would then go ahead and sort out all of these memories by event, allowing you to return to the right time and date if you need to pull out something from the past. What makes it different from other mobile galleries would be the fact that your Carousel’s size will not be constrained by the space on your handset.
Apart from that, Carousel also offers the ability to carry out private conversations, as they believe that such memories are meant to be shared among your close and loved ones. This lets you share hundreds of photos without taking any more time than it would by sending a single text. You can pick it up for the iOS and Android platforms.

About a year after acquiring beloved iOS email client Mailbox for $100 million, Dropbox has finally launched an Android version. The company also opened a limited beta of Mailbox for Desktop, a Mac email client that borrows many of the familiar gestures of Mailbox’s mobile app using hotkeys and trackpad gestures. To further help workers manage email, a new service called Auto-swipe will automatically suggest rules to snooze emails from certain senders.

“It’s like time began the last time I bought a phone,” Underwood said about the limitations of the iPhone’s photo gallery. “Nothing from before is in those phones.”

Dropbox also unveiled Project Harmony, collaborative editing tools that work with Microsoft’s Office productivity suite. Similar to Google Docs, users can chat with collaborators directly from a file. However, instead of showing real-time editing, users can display new changes by clicking a button.

Furthermore, Houston said Dropbox for Business, which debuted in the fall, is now available for all companies. The enterprise product lets users manage both personal and work Dropbox accounts without compromising security.

Looking ahead, Cuervo said Dropbox will focus on building products across different platforms. “We’re going to have all these new devices. We want to apply the same level of craft and detail and passion to them,” he said.
