Furtiv, the creators of plugins for Nokia Share Online, have announced (on their blog) a new beta version plugin to upload photos to the popular cloud storage service, Dropbox. This provides the ability for a user to synchronise their files across multiple computers, and so photos uploaded from an S60 phone to Dropbox will be available to every computer a user has Dropbox installed on. Anyone wanting to try out this new plugin just needs to go to http://furtiv.mobi with their S60 browser and select the Dropbox plugin.

Whilst this is a positive and welcome move (I am a keen Dropbox user), this comes a little late for me personally, as Pixelpipe added Dropbox upload support a couple of months ago. Pixelpipe plugs neatly into Nokia Share Online, and allows one-stop uploads to multiple destinations at once - I usually upload photos via PP to Flickr, Picasa and Ovi, and PP also deposits a copy in my Dropbox.
It's good to see some competition, though, and I'm just glad someone is making it easier to back up my snapshots to somewhere safe(r) 😊
Only images? Pixelpipe don't support arbitrary filetypes for dropbox either, which misses the point. I wasted a lot of time on Share Online; stick with email is my advice; it works nicely on s60 (the sending part only), though not with dropbox
I totally agree with "Unregistered". It would be great if Dropbox team considered creating decent Symbian application. Doesn't have to be a native Symbian C++, I think Qt could do nicely now.
But I don't complain that "Share online" doesn't have this, it should be just an app for sharing media and thats all.
