Dropbox for iOS updated w/ search support within Word and PowerPoint documents, larger GIF support, more

A minor update to Dropbox for iPhone and iPad is out today bringing a few new features and enhancements.

With Dropbox version 3.3, the app now supports search within Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint documents. Dropbox says this improvement is due to “new, higher fidelity previews” available in this version. The latest update also adds larger animated GIF support and “smarter caching” which users with low storage availability will appreciate.

The latest version of Dropbox is rolling out now on the App Store.

    I’m all for updates and stability improvements, but wish gifs, and particularly animated gifs would die a slow and painful death; they have no place in modern computing and image display.
