14 DAY TRIAL // Dropbox, a client for an online service that lets you bring all your photos, docs, and videos anywhere, is now at version 2.11.5 and it has been released for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
This is a development build of Dropbox, and beginning with the 2.11.x branch, the developers have started to make a number of important changes to the Linux client, after quite a long time of stagnant development.
According to the changelog, an issue that caused extra UAC elevation prompts to be shown on Windows has been fixed, an issue that would cause users to download Dropbox again after declining UAC has been corrected, and smaller fixes have been added.
The Dropbox 2.11.x branch of the software comes with a number of interesting changes and improvements, like a new Qt-based interface, Linux headless setup flow, faster uploads for small files, and more.
Linux users need to know that they don't have access to binary files of the latest Dropbox client, unlike the users of other operating systems. This means that you will only get the source package and you will have to run it by yourself.
Check out the official announcement for more details about this release.
Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
