Dropbox Launches Carousel for iPad, Lets You Store and Manage Photos and Videos

[RaduTyrsina]

Back in April, this year, popular cloud storage service Dropbox has introduced the Carousel app for iPhone users. It allowed to upload and automatically organize into events photos and videos uploaded to Dropbox. Now the company feels that it's time to make the app available for iPad users, as well.

Carousel has been updated to version 1.7 with support for iPad users. Now, it's possible to view your photos and continue conversations on a bigger screen and there's now added support for posting to Instagram and WhatsApp, as well.

The iPad design is pretty much similar to the iPhone version, featuring a big grid of videos, supplemented by lightweight messaging features at the top and a scrolling timeline at the bottom. However, the app doesn't seem to impress iOS users too much, who don't view it to be much more different than what the Camera app can do.

Chris Lee, who leads product development for the projec, is confident in their project and says that this is just the beginning:

"For us Carousel is a long-term investment. There are a lot more exciting things that we’re really looking forward to sharing with you in the future. We’ve got a lot of exciting plans for how to make Carousel even more engaging."

Here are the main features of the app:

Have photos and videos spread across your phone and Dropbox? Browse everything in single gallery that’s automatically organized into events.
Keep all your photos with you without running out of space. Photos and videos in Carousel are viewable from your phone even when you’re offline, but take up almost no space on your phone!
Automatically back up your photos and videos to Dropbox — your memories will stay safe even if you lose your phone or your hard drive crashes.
Share a day’s worth of photos as quickly as one. Never deal with the hassle of emailing photos again. Recipients can view your photos even if they don't have the Carousel app.
Go social. Post photos directly from Carousel to Facebook, Twitter, email, SMS, and more.
