The Dropbox has a futuristic vision on how its users can share large amounts of files and access them quickly on their computers without overcrowd their hard drives.
The storage cloud service announced this week a new initiative during its Open conference in London, called Project Infinite.
The idea is to create a new Dropbox interface that allows users to view all your files stored in the cloud directly into the folder on your computer without requiring to keep local copies of each document, image, table, or other type of file. With Project Infinite, users can manage their files in the cloud to move them by the Mac OS X Finder or Windows File Explorer, just as they would any local file that was taking up space on HD.
Currently, Dropbox users who want to see the items that have the service from your other files need to have these downloaded files to your PC or Mac - as needed when Dropbox launched its service to end users for seven and a half years .
Users can save storage space on their PCs with a selective sync feature that downloads only a few files, but the data that people leave out can not be viewed on their computers.
Project Infinite'd get the basic concept of Dropbox to create folders to sync with the cloud and ease of use with a huge amount of files.
This is part of the company's emphasis on helping users to share files, especially corporate usuearios who pay for the service platform. However, there is still much that Dropbox said on the news.
The company did not say when to include the Project Infinite in the public version of its desktop applications, or even which users have initial access at launch.
