Download Dropbox 1.5.45 RC

Dropbox is an online storage service that makes it possible to synchronize files between different computers. In addition, files and photo albums can be shared with people who don’t have Dropbox accounts. Clients are available for Windows, Linux, OS X, iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile.

A free account gives access to 2GB of storage, with the option to expand it by introducing new users. For ten, twenty or fifty dollars a month, that’s 100, 200 or 500GB respectively. Version 1.5, which is still labeled as experimental, has now reached the release candidate stage. That version 1.5 includes changes to make the storage service work properly under the latest version of OS X, Mountain Lion. There are also various bug fixes and performance improvements.
