Yeap is a damm shame, what ido is either copy to clipboard and edit in another app or open in....
Sure, with 10 clicks and some other apps you do get that functionality on iOS.

With the Dropbox Android app I can edit TXT files, in iOS I can't. That really sux.
love the new UI looks very polished and clean. kinda reminds me of an google designed application
Its nice but is it just me or is the top right tick icon a weird design choice to move or delete a file or folder.
I does have an android feel to it. Not sure if i like it yet, i'm used to the consistency between iOS apps
Its worth noting that you get up to 3GB of additional space when you plugin ur phone and import your photos and videos to dropbox.

I am a dropbox fan, but isn't photo sharing all too overbet on??
seems like everyone is looking to make a phot sharing solution, facebook, google, dropbox, instagram (back then), will.i.am, box, smaller developers, everyone.
on the other hand, why do consumers have this craze to share everything they do in their life with everyone??
jeez
It's a little weird, but it does let you multiple-select, which is great.Its nice but is it just me or is the top right tick icon a weird design choice to move or delete a file or folder.
Right, and it also happens to drive demand for larger storage plans.It's just giving you choice so you don't have to use multiple apps to get the same effect. Why upload photos to Dropbox if you can't view then in a gallery/slideshow format without using yet ANOTHER app to do it.
So I'm supposed to remember the positions now? What happened to designing intuitive icons? It took me a while to understand why the check mark meant Edit. Nice design there.

They are the most expensive one for what you get in GB's, but I think it's worth it.
I wholeheartedly agree. I've been using it for several years (since back when you had to go to the domain "getdropbox.com" because they didn't yet own "dropbox.com"!). I very promptly upgraded to a paid plan because I was collaborating with a couple of people on designing a book, and it made the process entirely friction-free.
Now, almost every file on my Macbook Air is kept inside its Dropbox folder so that its always in sync with my other Mac and of course my iPhone.
And at work, I started a freebie account that enabled me to get at a bunch of my files from home when our office was trashed by Sandy. I only wish I could get our Neanderthal IT manager to ditch the unusable Microsoft Sharepoint garbage that they spend so much time and energy maintaining in favor of a beefy Dropbox Teams account. (They've already spent so much on Sharepoint that nobody's ever going to admit it was a horrible mistake, of course).
As for iCloud, it's turned out to be very little of a threat to Dropbox, in my opinion. It's totally opaque, unreliable, and its weird app-by-app silo approach is just confusing. And at least if Dropbox has downtime (rare), you still have all your files there on your machine to transfer some other way if you need to.
I think the jury is still out on Google Drive, but it sure felt like a half-baked Dropbox ripoff when I used it a few months ago.
I'm still debating on paying. I have 35% used of a 13GB free account. I want to get 100GB for the safety of some of my choice photography RAW files and music that I obtain from non-iTunes stores (since I'm not sure if I'm able to re-download purchases).
This is way off-topic, but:
I played around with a few online backup services at one point (Mozy, SpiderOak) but got pretty tired of saturating my internet connection waiting for gigantic uploads. Now I just clone everything periodically and keep the encrypted drives in my desk at work. Hard drives are dirt cheap now, so it's cost-effective and if there was a disaster I could recover my stuff much more quickly than via downloading.
The most important stuff (things I created vs. things I downloaded) is still backed up in real time in Dropbox, of course.
