The iOS version of Carousel, Dropbox's photo organization app, has received a hefty pre-holiday update. The app now lets you
quickly delete reams of pictures from your camera roll if they've been
uploaded to cloud storage, and will sift through your old photos and
videos to provide you with "flashbacks" — images and clips dredged up
from your camera history that Dropbox says will help you "relive your
memories." Currently only the camera roll cleanup feature is live on the Android version of the app, but Dropbox says the flashback feature is coming soon.
The app first launched back in April
on Android and iPhone, but reportedly disappointed Dropbox executives
with its performance as it struggled to attract users. Later coming to
iPad and web, Carousel was fairly simple to use, but The Verge's Casey Newton noted
that it lacked a unique selling point, and didn't understand the
emotional importance of old photos. The new features turn Carousel into a
more enticing prospect, making freeing up space on your phone a breeze,
and bombarding you with slices of nostalgia.
