[Maura]

​

Dropbox, the Number 1 productivity app for the iPad in the App Store, has just been updated with new features and performance enhancements, including automatic offline caching for recently accessed files, support for HD video and high-resolution photo capture, numerous user interface enhancements including a new home screen and progress display, full screen landscape document viewing on iPad and the support for multitasking to allow files to upload or download in the background.

Dropbox is an Internet file and document syncing and sharing service, which was originally released for the iPhone in 2009 and for the iPad in May 2010, and has subsequently been used by millions of people to access documents and files directly from their favourite devices on the go.

"In both their work and their leisure time, people increasingly use an array of Internet connected devices, and not just a single computer," says Drew Houston, co-founder and CEO of Dropbox. "Dropbox offers a common thread that ties all of these systems together, making important files and data immediately available regardless of device. Not only does this make the individual devices more useful, but this helps enable the broader industry transition towards mobile phones and tablets."​

Can't seem to play videos on it though. I've uploaded them to my dropbox And they're in .m4v format so they should play. Any ideas anyone?
