Hello! Halo! Hai! Cześć! Привет! 你好!
Instantly sharing your most important stuff with friends and family—no matter where in the world they are or what language they speak—can feel like magic. So to help spread the love even further, we rolled up our sleeves and translated 553,800 words in 43,662 lines of code to bring you Dropbox in Russian, Polish, Indonesian, Malay, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese.
And to go along with the thousands of new words, we painted a handful of pictures. Check it out!

Starting today, Dropbox is available in these six new languages for Mac, PC, Linux, Android and on the web and coming soon for iOS. Check it out for yourself and spread the good (translated) word.

Dropbox new Menu!

Hey everyone!
Life (in Dropbox) moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. And with all the stuff you’ve got goin’ on, we figured it’d be handy for you to keep track of all your exploits in one place: the Dropbox menu!
  We’ve made it easier than ever to accept invitations to shared folders, see links or albums that people have shared with you, and keep tabs on what’s changed in your Dropbox.
If someone shares a link with you, you can now get to it immediately — directly from the Dropbox menu! You’ll get notifications in real time as people share with you, and can see them later just by clicking the Dropbox icon. You can also accept or decline invitations to shared folders directly from your desktop.

  We’ve also made it easier to see what’s recently changed in your Dropbox and added a quick way to share your stuff with a link, right from the Dropbox menu.

But why should computers have all the fun? Notifications for shared folders will also show up on the latest versions of our iOS and Android apps (and on the web at dropbox.com/events) so you can keep tabs on your stuff from anywhere.
If you’re ready to explore the new features, download the latest version of Dropbox!
