Do you use Dropbox? Then vote for their lazy devs to update it!

Hey everyone,

I use Dropbox often and while their current Android app works on the XOOM, it doesn't work 100%. I contacted Dropbox to see when they would update the app with the Honeycomb SDK and I got this response:

"Hi Matthew,

Although you can download the Dropbox app in the Android market, we currently do not support Android tablets yet. The Dropbox app that you are seeing in the Android market is the Android phone app. If you would love to see Dropbox work on an app for Android 3.0 Honeycomb, please vote for it on Votebox:

This gives us an accurate measurement of the demand for the various requests and will allow us to best focus on the issues most important to our user base.


Happy syncin'!

Best,
Stefano"

Sooo...as you can see, it's not a question of "when", it's a question of "if". We need to band together and demand a Honeycomb version as Dropbox is a great way to sync files for the XOOM! Please go vote at that link!

Use GoAruna. Their app for the XOOM tablet just hit the market. It is not a bad setup.

Are you sure? Whenever I try to upload or download something using the XOOM it keeps flashing in the notification area saying it's downloading/uploading. I can't click on the notification or anything. The process eventually finishes and works which is good but I don't like these issues it is having.

I have used Dropbox a few times on my Xoom without an issue.

I use Dropbox on my XOOM everyday just fine...an optimized version would be nice, but I can't really see what they'd change.

You guys don't get the crazy flickering notification icon in the bottom right corner?

Yeah I get it, especially when working with excel spreadsheets.

That's what I'm looking for as far as fixes go in a Honeycomb app.
