Latest experimental Dropbox build adds auto screenshot uploads, iPhoto import
Dropbox’s next move may be to take over your favorite screenshot sharing service, as the latest experimental build of its app adds the ability to upload screenshots automatically to your Dropbox folder. And that’s not all! The latest build also adds iPhoto import functionality, which offers synchronization between local iPhoto libraries and your Dropbox account (it’s only supported on the OS X version, of course, and only works with iPhoto 7.0 or higher), which are then viewable on the web.
Of course, this stuff may never make it into the next release of the Dropbox app given the beta-esque nature of this release, but it sounds extremely likely that it will given the company’s wording. At very least, these features won’t hit wide, final-release until some point after the next update (the update after this next one, to be clear). Head past the break for the full, detailed list of additions in version 2.3.12, and to the Dropbox forum to snag the new build for yourself in the source link below.

PSA: Dropbox is down, uploads not working (update: it’s back)
Dropbox is down — break out the FTP client. According to readers and Twitter, the service has been out of action for just over half an hour and while you might see the green tick of syncing joy on your PC, we were still unable to upload any new files through both the internet and desktop iteration — in fact the web interface is completely down. We’re not sure if this is a server issue or perhaps a delicious new feature with teething issues, but we’ve reached out to Dropbox and will update when we hear back.
Update: Looks like you can return to your regularly-scheduled uploading. Still no word on what caused the incident yet.

Google Drive desktop app adds in-app file sharing, catches up to 2010′s Dropbox
Sure, you could see and manage your Google Drive files from within the comfort of your PC / Mac file management system, but you couldn’t publicly share them with friends — until now. Google Drive files are now sharable via right click directly on your desktop, meaning the Drive desktop app now has one more feature that Dropbox already had several years ago. We hope you’ll forgive our lack of enthusiasm for Google’s catchup effort, but it’s hard to get all jazzed up about functionality that should’ve probably been there at launch. Anyway, if you’re not seeing the new feature pop up on your dashboard yet, Google says it’s “rolling out over the next few days.” Hold tight!
