Would it be possible to have dropbox integrated in accounts? The idea is to integrate it into accounts so one can share a picture directly from the gallery app or the camera app. This is a feature existing in N9.

This question is not about a dropbox app, but a full integration into phone's accounts.

Me too I would like to have this feature. Maybe an app has to be developed first.

So instead of starting with let's say Dropbox and add later we don't prefer anything? Please go for this. Go for Dropbox and OwnCloud.

I think it's difficult for one reason. Another question related to skype-integration was anwered by a jolla employee that it is difficult for a little company like Jolla to implement skype because they have to buy licenses which are very expensiv. Maybe it's the same case with dropbox, if not they would have implement it, i think!

I think there is also another side to it. When you go for lets say Dropbox, you should in fact also go for Box, and many other file sync parties. You'd like to have a nice implementation of a standard, but there is none. Implementing many standards created by businesses to solely serve their own good makes implementing something like Dropbox more difficult.

Its the same with chat applications, if they'd use XMPP its easy. They use a standard. If they think up of something themselves, it is a whole different.

I wouldn't want to have one cloud service preferred by the OS itself.

I am guessing that Dropbox and OneDrive are coming "soon" as accounts:

What I understood about those is that they will provide a way to sync the backup to Dropbox/OneDrive.I'm not a programmer so I might be terribly mistaken also. :D

I hope so, and else let them please make an api for the account integration!!
