DropImage makes it fast and convenient to transfer photos from your phone and synchronize them across all your Dropbox computers, iPhone, or iPad.
Ever have a bunch of images you needed off your phone right now? Then, DropImage is for you.

I am using pixelpipe (free) to put photos in dropbox. You can not specify the exact directory though. So, updating a mobile gallery only on the iPhone is impossible. If DropImage can upload to a directory of your choice, it would be worth it. Pixelpipe can post to twitter as well, and other sites. But will post to all at the same time, so you must turn off the ones you don't need to post to.
+1 Pixelpipe for uploading to dropbox.
You can do this with the free iPhone Dropbox app and to any folder in your Dropbox, albeit only one image or video at a time. Unless you need to upload multiple images at a time I can't see any reason to buy the app. Also it doesn't state whether it uploads full size images or not - the Dropbox app gives you the choice to send low or full res.
I'm not familiar with PixelPipe but it sounds good, I think think I'll download it and give it a try.
I didn't mind parting with the .99. The Dropbox app can be a pain to access and upload photos with, this is selelct and forget. Not bad at all.
It uploads full res photos into a folder it creates on it's initial upload (My Dropbox » Photos » DropImage).
Dinatekno does the app let you send the images back to the iPhone at full res as I have found that one of the shortcomings of the Dropbox app is that resolution is reduced when sending from Dropbox on my Mac to the iPhone.
Thanks, I'll give this a go. I hope it uploads the photo untouched - full res complete with meta data. If so it will be a winner for me.
I too currently use PixelPipe.
I've have not found any apps/processes that will save back into the iPhone camera roll at full res - I think it's a limitation Apple impose rather than the apps.
I want to grab full res images from Dropbox and process them in an iPhone app before re-uploading them.
Cheers for the review
