You can browse though your files, create folders, and look at thumbnail previews. You also have the option to view your files in a list.

File management
You can also browse your files in a list. A swipe left on a file name gives the option to delete it. Buttons across the bottom of the app let you sort by backups, recent files, and documents you've shared with others.

Auto backups
The automatic backup feature for photos and videos will be useful, but I would prefer if the app would ask me before uploading.

Touch the menu button (three circles in the top right) to add a file. You also can select multiple files for sharing here.

Sending a link via e-mail
To share a file you can quickly send a link via e-mail, and this is what the e-mail will look like to the recipient.
