Gruber: 'Dropbox is the last app that doesn’t offer automatic software updates.'
- chmars 14y agoFull quote: 'I think Dropbox is the last app I use that doesn’t offer automatic software updates.' Dropbox's official information on updates (although I'm with Gruber, i.e., I've never received an auto-update): 'If you want to have the latest stable version of Dropbox, you don't have to do anything! Dropbox will silently update itself in the background. To tell which version of Dropbox you're using, simply hover your mouse over the Dropbox icon in your system tray. A small dialog box will appear with the latest version. You can also find the version number by visiting your Dropbox preferences and selecting the Account tab. The Dropbox version number appears in gray. If you don't have the latest version yet, don't worry! Auto-upgrades are rolled out over the course of several weeks after a new update is available. We're very conservative about auto-updating. We never want to risk breaking a working version of Dropbox.' https://www.dropbox.com/help/13/en https://www.dropbox.com/help/13/en
- st3fan 14y agoYup. I don't think the DropBox auto update actually works. I'm on 1.4.12 on this machine while the last version that you can download directly from DropBox is 1.4.17. Something is not working right.
