Dropbox announces new password manager, secure file vault, App Center and more
Dropbox expands its offerings with a new password manager and secure file storage vault.
We recently reported on Dropbox Passwords earlier this month. The password manager enables you to store your passwords in a central location instead of giving you the choice to store your passwords in any manner or with a service you choose.

Dropbox App Center was created as a way for users to easily discover other services that work with Dropbox. This was kind of hard to do before, so this is a welcome addition. App Center will be available to a limited number of users initially and feature 40 of the company’s partners.
