Dropbox 1.7.8 Experimental available for download

The Experimental version for Dropbox client has been updated to version 1.7.8. This build contains a number of bug fixes including fixes for missing thumbnails in notification window in Windows 8. This build also contains some improvements over the previous release.

Dropbox 1.7 new features
Dropbox 1.7 introduces a new tray popup that combines the old tray menu features with a timeline of the most important sharing events in your Dropbox. For instance, if someone shares a link with you, you can now see it immediately. Also if someone shares a folder with you, you can now accept or decline the invitation directly from your desktop. Not only are you notified of these events in real time, but you can easily get to them later.

Here are a few things you should know:
  • This feature is not yet localized in languages other than English.
  • It is only enabled on Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and above, and on Windows XP and above.
  • It is not yet enabled on Linux.
