Dropbox API Being Integrated into iFile Jailbreak App

No doubt owners of jailbroken iPhone handsets already know of the iFile jailbreak app that enables the user to browse their iPhone’s native file system, and now iFile looks to be gaining support for the Dropbox API.

According to an article over on iPhone Download Blog and by way of Italian site iSpazio, iFile has now gained approval for Dropbox API access so full on integration shouldn’t be that far off, and means that once done users should be able to transfer files seamlessly from their iPhone to the cloud.

Unfortunately though there’s no concrete date for when jailbreak app user can expect Dropbox support although apparently the developers behind the app are fairly good at updating.

The move by Dropbox again tends to legitimise Cydia iOS apps by allowing the use of their API’s, and will no doubt annoy Apple somewhat just like Toyota did. So what do you reckon, a good move by iFile gaining Dropbox integration?
