DropBox app is coming soon
I'm a huge fan of DropBox. I use it daily for personal file storage and for sharing files with others. I even made a short video a few weeks ago showing how it helped me stay more efficient during the day.
When I heard they had an app coming out, I was mildly excited. However, I just couldn't figure out what it could that would be very useful. They've just written more about what's included, and now I can't wait to get my hands on it!
In particular, this app will:
Allow you to access you files on the go. Kind of a given, I think. However, you can stream music and movies from your DropBox to your phone. Nice!
Download files for offline viewing. If you make them "favorites", you can view them even when you don't have a connection. This is very much like the latest version of the Evernote app, and it works well.
Share links to files in your Dropbox. You can snap a photo on your phone, toss it in Dropbox, and then share a public link with a friend. From what I can gather, you can put these in a private folder in your DropBox, but it'll provide a temporary link to your friends to grab it. See the screenshots below for an example.

All in all, it sounds like a great little app. They submitted it roughly 10 days ago, so it should show up in the store sometime next week.
