Kris Carlon
Putting down roots in Berlin after six years of traveling is a major step for Kris Carlon, who has spent more time living out of a tent lately than sitting at a desk. Kris comes to the AndroidPIT Editorial Team via a lengthy period spent writing on art and culture in Australia and other places he has lived. He joined the Android community while resurfacing in civilization back in 2010 and has never looked back, using technology to replace his actual presence in other people's lives ever since.The industrious folk over at Dropbox are quite busy at the moment. They just released an update for Dropbox a couple of days ago and now today they have released two entirely new apps. Mailbox is a company that Dropbox bought after the warm reception of their email app when it launched last year on iOS. Today marks its entry to the Android platform. Carousel is all Dropbox's own though, and adds a nice social twist to your gallery app.

Carousel will group your photos as well as those sent to you.

Being a Dropbox product, rapid adoption is obviously something Dropbox are hoping to overcome with their existing membership base. Added to the dozens of great gallery apps and dozens of great photo-sharing communities though, it feels like it's missing that x-factor it would need to make it a must-install app. Only time will tell if it takes off, but at least every moment along the way will be documented forever.
