Dropbox for IPhone Adds Document Scanning and Office Creation Tools
iPhone: The Dropbox iPhone app is getting a big update today that adds a new document scanner as well as the ability to create Microsoft Office documents from within the app.
The document scanner works exactly as you expect. You can now scan whiteboards, receipts, sketches, and more, and the scanned images are automatically uploaded to your Dropbox account as PDF files. Dropbox Business users can also search these scans, presumably using OCR. If you are a Dropbox user, this is a handy way to avoid the numerous scam little scanner apps . In addition to the new scanner, you can now create Microsoft Office documents directly from the Dropbox app.
Desktop apps have received a few minor improvements as well. You can now preview previous versions of files before restoring them, and you have a little more control over file sharing.
