The service will be added to Apple's iOS soon, Dropbox said.
On Android, the photo-upload function mirrors one already built into phone: Google+ already can be set to automatically upload photos and store them in the cloud. On the other hand, Google won't allow any photos over 2,048 pixels wide, so high-resolution cameraphone images won't be stored on Google+ in their full resolution.
The Dropbox Android app can automatically upload your photos and videos to Dropbox using Wi-Fi or your data plan. They're all uploaded at original size and full quality, and saved to a private folder called Camera Uploads in your Dropbox, Dropbox said. The desktop version will automatically kick in if a camera or SD card is connected, uploading the photos to Dropbox.
"You've been there. After a long night out, you left your phone in the cab," Jeff Bartelma, director of product at Dropbox, wrote in a blog post. "Or maybe you went canoeing and sent your camera for a swim. Buying a new one hurts, but the worst part is that all those photos and videos are long gone. Even when nothing bad happens, it's no fun having to track down photos spread across your computers, your PowerShot, or that old cracked phone."
Unfortunately, photos are merely uploaded, not synced, so if a user accidentally deletes them from the Uploads folder, they'll be deleted from Dropbox - though not the phone itself.
Users will receive 500MB of Dropbox space, for free, just for downloading the app. As users upload more photos, the available space will increase, up to a total of 3GB, the company said. (Beta testers received an extra 4.5GB of storage.) Box for Android, an unrelated service that also saw an upgrade this week, provides 50GB of free storage, but without any dedicated photo uploading.
