- there 16y agothey should make the new installer magically appear in everyone's dropbox.
- rimantas 16y agoI guess that would scare some and annoy some more.
- ivankirigin 16y agoThe process is extremely heavily tested to make sure it just works.
- davidu 16y agoThis is one app that I prefer doesn't auto-update. For most people it already works great, why rock the boat? For others, let them control the updates... These are our files, after all!
- muppetman 16y agoThe windows version seems to auto-update now. My 1.0.6 has auto updated to 1.0.10 I guess auto-updated was introduced in the betas? As for my linux ones, don't know. I can't figure out how to get the version string from them.
- auxbuss 16y agoOn Linux, hovering the mouse over the icon displays the version. It's also greyed-out on the Prefs/General page. I grab debs directly from their repo, but it's still on 0.7.110. Not that it matters for me.
- ra 16y agoSame version number for me on OSX. And I'm using the forum-version updater.
- leif 16y agoThe deb version is different from the internal version. The debs are just wrappers, the important binaries get downloaded to ~/.dropbox-dist, and those are auto-updated. If you want to force an auto-update, do this: $ dropbox stop $ rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist $ dropbox start -i
- nreece 16y agoYes. it auto-updates. http://www.dropbox.com/help/13 http://www.dropbox.com/help/13
