Dropbox’s new Windows 10 app lets you use your face as a password

Windows 10 is slowly adding on more big-name universal apps. The most recent one of these is Dropbox, which includes some useful features to pull you away from the Web interface.

The app looks sleek and minimal, taking advantage of Microsoft’s universal app platform (meaning it can be easily adapted to work on phones) for a minimal touch-friendly interface.

Using Windows Hello with my face, it’s a fair bit quicker than typing in my password every time, while being more secure than simply having the app remember my log in info.The most interesting new feature is Windows Hello support, meaning you can basically secure your files with your face, fingerprint, or iris.

Other useful features:

• Quick access to recent files via taskbar Jump Lists
• Interactive notifications 
• Quick search 
• Drag and drop files from both outside the app and within
• Commenting directly on files
