Dropbox update allows users to search within Word and PowerPoint documents

August 25, 2014

The companion app of the popular cloud storage service Dropbox has just received a nice update with the move to version 3.3.

Most importantly, thanks to higher fidelity previews, users can search within Word and PowerPoint documents.

Here’s the complete list of other changes:

• Support for larger animated GIFs
• Smarter caching uses less data and disk space
• Dropbox is better at opening back to where you were
• Assorted bug fixes

A universal app designed for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad/iPad mini, Dropbox can be downloaded now on the App Store for free. All users receive 2 GB of space for free. More storage costs extra.

Dropbox Pro access, which gives users 100 GB of storage, can be purchased inside the app for $99.99 per year or $25.99 for a three-month subscription.

Before the most recent update, version 3.2 arrived in June. With that version, users can now set up their Dropbox account on a new computer, reorder their Favorites list, and more.
