Dropbox has rolled out an updated app for iPhone 6s Plus. The update bumps the app version to 4.0. 4m326l

The latest Dropbox app update v4.0 now includes a small downward arrow besides every file and folder. Tapping the arrow would give s easy access to share, rename, move, and delete the particular document. The options would be available in an action menu popup. Dropbox has also renamed its 'favourites' section to 'offline files'. s can mark any file for offline access and work on it without any Internet connection. The marked file would be available from the Offline tab.

For iOS 9 s specifically, Dropbox v4.0 now s the Spotlight search feature. The Spotlight search results would include recently opened Dropbox files along with files marked for offline access, tapping on which would open the particular file inside the Dropbox app. The company also states that tapping on any Dropbox shared links from any app would open the link inside the Dropbox app only.

The company also announced features for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus s. The updated app would be making use of the handsets' key feature - 3D Touch. From the home screen, s can now light press the Dropbox app icon to view the quick actions menu. The menu would show s their recently modified files, access to offline files, option to a photo, and search. Inside the app, 3D Touch can be used to peek inside a file or a folder. Light press on the file name would give s a preview, or a folder to view its contents. A deeper press would open the file or the folder. The updated Dropbox app can be ed from the App Store.

It is worth noting that this update makes Dropbox one of the first major apps to iOS 9 and iPhone 6s/ iPhone 6s Plus smartphone features. Now that both iOS 9 and the iPhone 6s/ iPhone 6s Plus smartphones have been launched, we can expect more developers to start implementing for these features in their apps. While iOS 9 features might be easier to by many applications, the 3D Touch might take some time to arrive as the developers would then have to make the optimised versions of the apps for the two handsets.

Dropbox last month added U2F or Universal 2nd Factor security keys that work as an additional method for two-step verification process.
