The arrival of Windows 10 to the market, has supposed a remodeling of what until now we understood by operating systems, at least according to Microsoft. The guys from Redmond have been working on a universal ecosystem for more than a year, an ecosystem that allows you to install any application from your store on any device, be it desktop, laptop, mobile or console. In this way, any developer who chooses to bet on Windows when creating applications, a very wide range of devices is ensured to which you can reach just with the same application. The latest application that has chosen this route is Dropbox, the most popular cloud storage service in the world.
After the landing of Windows 10 on the Xbox One, the last device that had the update pending to close the circle, the Nintendo console already allows you to install practically the same applications that are available for mobile phones as for PCs, as long as they are universal. Dropbox has just updated its application making it universal, which allows us to install it on the Xbox One and thus be able to enjoy our home on the big screen, the photos that we have stored in it, the same as videos or simply any document or file that we have stored in our account.
This update would have made more sense if the Carrousel service, which Dropbox closed a little more than a year ago, had continued in service, since it allowed us to make a backup copy in the cloud of all our images and videos captured with our smartphone in a automatic. Although what really stands out is the possibility of be able to view the videos directly without having to download them, something that the OneDrive application allows practically since its launch on the market. Dropbox for the Xbox, also allows us to download content to view it without having an internet connection
