New Nozbe Apps with Dropbox integration (and how to use it)

Posted on Tuesday, April 26th, 2011 by Macoscope

We are happy to say that we have just released new versions of Nozbe Apps for iPhone, iPod and iPad. In versions 1.2 and 2.2 you will find Dropbox integration, local notifications for scheduled tasks and push notifications for project sharing and task delegation, application badge icon will remind you about the number of overdue tasks (it’s not to depress you!) and auto-sync will perform in background every time you exit Nozbe Apps. Moreover, now iPhone version has all functionalities from iPad version including unread comments and delegated tasks sections.

But the thing we are really excited about is Dropbox integration. Many of you use this service to share documents and files connected to your projects, so the whole team may instantly and from everywhere get access to all the uploads. We also use Dropbox to share stuff in Macoscope and we couldn’t imagine better way to keep the flow, than to magically and instantly get access to our files through Nozbe – without the need to copy or (God forbid!) rewrite all the files. So, with our comfort in mind, we added super fast and automatic Dropbox integration to Nozbe, to make your life easier as well. Here’s how this feature works.

1. When you open Nozbe, go to your projects list and tap on any project. In it’s view you will see a new tab with the dropbox icon. Tap on it and you will see login screen.
2. After logging in, you may see no Dropbox files. This means that there are no files or folders matching your project. How to change that? Name folders exactly like your project or context. Thanks to that, in project view, you will see every file which is in this folder. You can also name individual files just like your project or context or just include project’s or context’s name in your file’s name. Of course you don’t have to do this for files which are in above mentioned folders.
3. Named your files and folders? Go to the dropbox view in Nozbe and pull to refresh. All your files should be there – ready to download and view!

    How many layers of folders will nozbe search? My Dropbox structure is Dropbox-new solutions jobs-individual job folders. Will that work or do they need to be in nozbe folder?

    We’re currently using two layers of folders. Real search support was added to Dropbox API just recently, so we’re gonna adapt that soon, so we can bypass this limitation.
