The Dropbox app for Windows 10 will begin rolling out in the Windows Store this week as a free download for Windows 10 customers.

Dropbox makes it easy to view or edit your files on any device, anytime and anywhere; to privately share files of any size with anyone; and to back up your work automatically. With this new app built on the Universal Windows Platform, users will be able to take advantage of the convenience of Dropbox with great Windows 10 features such as Windows Hello, Live Tiles and Notifications.

Here are some of the new features in the Dropbox app for Windows 10:

Updated for Windows 10: Performance improvements and faster launching for our Universal Windows Platform app.

Performance improvements and faster launching for our Universal Windows Platform app. Enable Windows Hello: Add an extra layer of protection with Windows Hello, which uses either your face, fingerprint, or iris instead of your password to unlock your Dropbox*.

Quick Access to Recent Files: Using Jump List, all you have to do is right-click on the Dropbox app icon in your taskbar.

Interactive Device Notifications: Accept a shared folder invitation without opening the app with Notifications.

Quick Search: You don’t need to click on the search icon; just type what you want to search.

Drag and Drop: To move or copy a file into Dropbox, just drag and drop it from Windows File Explorer. Within the app, you can also move or copy files into other folders by dragging and dropping them between folders (hold Ctrl to copy).

Commenting: Add comments directly on your files, and bring others into the discussion with @mentions.

Coming Soon: the Dropbox app for Windows 10 Mobile. Stay Tuned!
