Dropbox announced a tighter integration with Samsung mobile devices, allowing users to enable file sharing across multiple products from smartphones and cameras to smart TVs.

Online file sync and storage service Dropbox has acquired Audiogalaxy, a peer-to-peer file sharing utility turned online music streaming service. The move suggests some form of media streaming is coming to Dropbox, based on the acquisition announcement from Audiogalaxy. “We are excited about the opportunity to join the amazing folks at Dropbox and bring great new experiences to 100M+ Dropbox users,” the Seattle-based streaming service said on its blog. Financial details were not revealed.

Cloud storage company Dropbox announced it has passed the 100 million-user mark and has customers in 200 countries.

June 29, 2007, the day the original iPhone went on sale, was a big day for Web developer Honey Berk. She got the Apple smartphone and a fiancé.

Dropbox is the most widely used and simplest file-synchronization system worldwide not attached to a major technology company. Every machine on which you install Dropbox and use the same account has all the contents synchronized among them by default. Make a change on one machine in the Dropbox folder—remove a file, add one, reorganize items into folders, or save changes—and that change is instantly propagated to every other synced machine. That’s the point of such services, and Dropbox consistently accomplishes this in a nearly invisible manner.

The roster sort of sounds like Santa's reindeer roll-call: On Dropbox, on SkyDrive, on iCloud, on Google! And now, Amazon becomes the latest company/sleigh-puller to dive into the Desktop Cloud Storage Wars of 2012.

Both Dropbox and Skydrive rolled out new features yesterday. Coincidence, or are they just trying to keep attention away from all the "Google Drive" rumors? Also, ZumoDrive is shutting down, so back up your files!

For a service with the word "drop" front and center in its name, Dropbox has always been notoriously, annoyingly unsupportive of dragging and dropping to its Web client.
