Better late than neverLook who's showing up fashionably late to the Windows Phone party. It's Dropbox, which is now available as an app download for Windows phones and tablets. According to Dropbox, this marks the next phase of its partnership with Microsoft -- the two somewhat joined forces in November of last year to ensure that Dropbox and Microsoft Office would work well together, and also be widely available.
Using the Dropbox app on Windows phones and tablets, users can automatically backup their files to Dropbox, mark files as favorites so that they're always available (with or without an Internet connection), and enjoy access to both personal and work accounts at the same time.
The Dropbox team also molded the app for the Windows platform -- you can pin any Dropbox folder to the Start screen for quick access.
Dropbox arrives on the Windows Phone platform just in time to see Microsoft talk about Windows 10. It's partially a rebranding play on mobile, though Windows 10 will bring about a bunch of new features to Windows Phone devices as well. You'll get your first look at Windows 10 on phones in a few weeks when it emerges in preview form.
As for Dropbox, you can download it from the Windows Phone Store.
