Dropbox recently sent out email notifications that the latest Android beta is now available for testing. There are some bug fixes in the newest build, including: small file changes syncing properly, files don’t re-upload on upgrade or re-install, and increased network timeout so it works better on slow networks. The new feature list is pretty impressive. For a full list of what the new version comes with, check below:

• Added “Share to Dropbox” from other applications (Gallery, etc). Either single or multiple files can be shared at the same time.
• File Downloads & Uploads now display progress notifications instead of Spammy Toasts.
• Multi-touch Gallery for pictures in a directory. Long-hold on pictures in gallery to do file operations.
• Now you can create Shortcuts to Dropbox folders by long-holding on the desktop.
• Added long-hold folder options for sharing and open.
• Long-hold file Open now plays non-streaming, if it’s a streaming file type.
• Added Cache Size display and Clear Cache button.
• Prompt to install file manager such as OI or Astro if one is not installed already.
• Notification if SD card is unavailable, so downloads, viewing, or uploads won’t work.
• The e-mail to tell friends about Dropbox now contains a referral link, so you can get a quota bonus.
• Visual Redesign with new icons

The new beta version seems to be working great and not having to resync and upload/download cached files on the phone after upgrading was a big plus. Many people love using Dropbox as it has grown to be a very useful tool so these changes are much appreciated.
