Dropbox 2.5.45 Experimental Is Available for Download

Dropbox has released a version 2.5.45 of Dropbox Experimental, a pre-release version of its desktop client for Windows, Mac and Linux. This update fixed issue with the Windows installer where it incorrectly showed a popup saying admin rights were not granted.

Overview
Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences. Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account. The green checkmarks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date. All data is transferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage. Dropbox keeps track of every change made to any of its contents.

What's new in Dropbox 2.5?
Dropbox 2.5 introduces a number of new features and improvements. Here are some key features of version 2.5:
