At a media event in San Francisco Wednesday, Dropbox announced new features and services to its Mexisting products, PCMag.com reported.

The cloud-based file-sharing company has introduced a Mailbox mobile app for Android devices and Mailbox for desktop, which is in limited beta, readwrite.com reported.

 "Technology is this thing that's supposed to make things better, easier, but instead it makes things more complicated, Dropbox co-founder and CEO Drew Houston told reporters at a press event, according to PCMag.com. "So Dropbox is here to help, to ease the pain, to make you comfortable again. We like solving problems like that, problems that are big and they're painful and they affect millions of people."

Houston said the new services and tools is part of the company's vision of creating what it calls "A Home for Life" for its users.

The Mailbox app, a redesigned inbox that makes email "light, fast and mobile-friendly," is arriving to Android and desktop, offering the same basic user experience as Mailbox for iOS. The app allows users to quickly swipe messages to their archive or trash, scan an entire conversation at once with chat-like organization, and snooze emails until later. The app is now available on Google Play.

The Mailbox app for Android also introduces Auto-swipe, "a 'learning' feature built into the platform that predicts broad actions users tend to take with certain types of emails from certain senders," PCMag.com reported. The feature is available now with Mailbox for Android and is "coming soon" to iOS devices.

Dropbox will also release a beta version of a new email client for personal computers called Mailbox for Desktop.  However, the use of a trackpad to simulate the swiping actions used in mobile version of the app suggest that the service will appeal to laptop users more than those" using traditional trackpadless desktops," PCMag.com reported.
