Dropbox announced a development platform Dropbox Platform

       The popular file sharing service Dropbox conducts the San Francisco developer conference DBX, which announced its own platform application Dropbox Platform. It is a set of tools for developers to significantly simplify the process of synchronizing data in applications, operating systems, and various mobile devices. 's new platform is based on Dropbox Sync API and, says CEO Dropbox Drew Houston, it allows you to completely eliminate the use of hard drives and daily lives of consumers.

       A key component of the platform is Datastore API, allowing transparent sync contacts, notes and data sheets of games, allowing you to keep up to date data on multiple devices simultaneously. Another tool is the solution Drop-In, with which programmers can use Dropbox as solution for cross-platform compatibility.

      This application may consist of a number of auxiliary tools such as Saver, Chooser, and others. Houston says Dropbox has a new platform supported by such providers of IT services such as Shutterstock, PicMonkey, Asana, Yahoo Mail, Animoto, 1Password, CloudOn, FedEx and Fargo.

      As part of today's announcement the company also introduced a new feature Mailbox - mail system built on the basis of Dropbox. Its peculiarity is that it allows you to work with very large amounts of files in the mail, without sending them physically, and leaving on servers Dropbox. While this function is in the testing phase.
