Dropbox for iPhone Adds HD Uploads, Bug Fixes

Another update for Dropbox for iPhone, which reaches version 1.2.4 - an update aimed at fixing compatibility issues with iOS 4, together with some new iPhone 4-specific features.

The new version includes HD settings for iPhone 4, but only for newly recorded videos and not for those stored in the Library. Also, there’s a new “Require Immediately” passcode setting if a user leaves the app for a moment.

Check out the full changelog after the break, and go download the app here.

Photo & Video upload quality changes:

-‘Camera’ settings section renamed ‘Upload Quality’

-Add ‘HD’ setting for iPhone 4 devices (supplements ‘High’, which now produces 640x480 videos on all devices)

-‘Video Quality’ now affects videos selected from Photo Library (videos selected from library cannot exceed ‘High’ quality of 640x480. ‘HD’ affects newly recording videos only)


Passcode locking changes:

- Present lock screen more aggressively on devices that support multitasking by default (after no more than 1 minute using another app, down from 5 minutes)

- Added ‘Require Immediately’ passcode setting to force immediate presentation of passcode entry if user leaves Dropbox app even for a moment


Bugs fixed:

- Resolved inability to export favorites files (existed on iPhone and iPods running iOS 4 only)
