Auto-import for photos and videos coming to Dropbox, and you can try it right now

If you’re a power Dropbox user you’re really going to like one of the features that’s coming up in its next update. When you plug in our camera, phone, or SD card, Dropbox will automatically import all the photos and videos and back them up to the cloud.

Dropbox certainly isn’t the first to introduce this feature, but it’s one that’s going to appeal to the serious Dropbox users among us.
The best part is, if you’re feeling a bit adventurous, you don’t have to wait to try out the new feature. You can download and test an experimental build right now.

Once you’d updated Dropbox, when you plug in your camera, phone or SD card, this window should automatically appear.

While the new build (1.3.4) is available for Mac, Windows and Linux, the photo import feature is not available for Linux or Mac 10.4, and not all devices are going to be recognized. Android users should use the ‘connect as disk drive’ feature, and HTC sync will not work with the new feature.
Of course, this is an experimental build so you’re using it at your own risk. Dropbox adds:
As usual, we strongly recommend making a backup of your Dropbox before upgrading to this build as we’ll need a few weeks to be certain of its stability. We will rapidly release new builds as necessary to snipe the most common issues as they arise.

Pocket Cloud Explore makes it easy to search all your computers from your phone

Wyse introduced Pocket Cloud Explore today, which allows you to easily search all of your connected computers right from your phone. Not only is the application terribly simple to set up, the original pricing for Pocket Cloud Explore has been cut from $4.99 to only $.99 for a limited time.
From my little time I’ve ever tried to use virtual desktop applications, the set up has always been cumbersome, which ultimately made me stop. After seeing how easy it is to set up Pocket Cloud Explore, I actually care, finally. You need is the application itself and the companion program and after signing in to your Google account, you’re good to go. The fact that the application plugs into your Google account to log in is a pretty big deal, as the last thing I personally want is another username and password to remember.
Say I’m away from the office but need to send a picture over to Marin that’s on my computer. Better yet, I even forgot what computer the photo is on. A simple search within the app will search both computers and I can send it straight to Marin, no matter where I am. Once I find the picture, I can transfer the picture to my device and send it straight to Marin.
