Apple removes Dropbox apps from App Store.

The Dropbox online storage apps have been removed from Apple’s App Store as they fail to meet Apple’s in-app purchasing guidelines, reports imediamonkey.

Changes to the Dropbox SDK mean that users can purchase subscriptions for additional storage space by bypassing Apple’s in-app purchase system and going straight to the Dropbox website via the Safari browser.

When Apple introduced in-app purchases, it said that purchases and subscriptions must be made within its official system, with developers handing over 30 percent of each subscription fee.

One of the most important new features introduced will allow users to automatically upload photos and videos in the background using either Wi-Fi or mobile data connectivity.

In addition, the developers offer up to 3GB of free space for uploading photos automatically, but the amount of storage will be given in 500MB increments not all at once.

According to Dropbox, the team behind the application and cloud service, the Android app has been improved and it has also received some bug fixes.

Keep in mind that due to more secure credential storage, Dropbox for Android cannot be installed on an SD memory card anymore.

Dropbox is available as a free download in the Android Market and should be fully compatible with all devices running Android 2.0 and up.
