[![Dropbox 20 launches for iOS with new Photos tab and a streamlined UI](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/12/dropbox-20.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/14/dropbox-2-0-launches-for-ios-with-new-photos-tab-and-new-ui/)
Most of us would call the [Dropbox](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Dropbox/) mobile app very utilitarian, built for browsing files and not much else. It's becoming more of a media viewer in its own right with its just-arrived Dropbox 2.0 for iOS users. The cloud storage service gains a dedicated Photos tab that takes advantage of all those [automatic uploads](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/15/dropbox-updates-ios-app-to-1-5-says-goodbye-to-size-limitations/) from the past few months: the panel organizes photos by the time taken and offers an unintrusive full-screen mode for reliving memories. Hitting the major milestone has also given Dropbox an incentive to rework the interface as a whole, simplifying uploads to specific folders alongside removing the visual clutter. The developer hasn't yet given Android the same treatment, although the company's tendency to keep its major apps on an equal footing suggests it won't be too long before everyone gets a clearer view of their images in the cloud.
