Alpha Five Version 11 Feature Peek #4: Dropbox integration for image management
One of the new capabilities of Alpha Five Version 11 will be Dropbox integration with your Alpha Five Web or mobile app. Alpha Developer Bob Moore designed a way to upload a large number of image files quickly to the server using Dropbox. Then those files are displayed right in the Web app.
This is a handy and efficient technique to get a lot of photos added to a Web app quickly. And since the Dropbox iPhone/iPad app is free, you can upload images right from your smart phone camera. So your end user can upload a bunch of images right from the field.
Watch the video to see how Bob sets up this integration and how you can even automatically resize the images, generate thumbnails images, and more. By the way, this isn't limited to images. The fact that you have Dropbox integration opens up a whole bunch of collaboration opportunities for your database applications.

I clicked on the video and it then disappeared, leaving a blank space. I've been able to see the other videos successfully (the flash ones).
Any idea as to what the problem might be? What format is this video in ?
Hi Bob,
May I ask what browser you're trying to view it in? I have tried FireFox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome and all seem to be working.
