Picplz Now Automatically Copies Photos to Dropbox


Another week, another new Picplz feature.

This time the Andreessen Horowitz-backed mobile photo-sharing startup is out with Dropbox integration, meaning all web, iPhone and Android users can automatically save copies of their images to the cloud-based file storage service.

The integration is immediate no application update required. Once you connect your Dropbox account, Picplz will copy the raw image, with all metadata intact, and the filtered version over to your Dropbox account.

Picplz, by default, stores the raw image for each photo you take or edit through the service. Its a functionality that sets i! t apart from Instagram, and allows users to collect their original, unfiltered photos.

Dropbox integration is a small but significant update, especially for those looking for a more permanent way to store and access their filtered and unfiltered Picplz photos via web, mobile or desktop.

Picplz continues to iterate at a rapid rate. In the last few weeks, the startup has added several third-party integrations and released much-improved iPhone and Android apps. CEO and founder Dalton Caldwell says the immediate future holds a public release of the API and additional revisions to the Android app.
