DropBox readying an app for Microsoft’s Windows 8
DropBox, the cloud based storage service plans to launch an app for Microsoft’s latest OS, Windows 8.
Speaking at the LeWeb conference in Paris, Aditya Agarwal, DropBox’s vice president of engineering said, “We are going to be launching our client app for Windows 8.” The app will not only work like the traditional desktop version of DropBox, but also with the new touchscreen interface of Windows 8. The app will work on both Windows 8 as well as Windows RT (including the surface tablets).
Microsoft already has its own cloud based storage service called SkyDrive that makes it easy to integrate content on your Windows Phone device and the desktop.
