This is Carousel's initial screen. Tap the screen ......

If you have just created a dropbox account, a "!" Icon will appear in the upper left corner, so tap it.


Then an alert "Please certify by email" is displayed. When you check the mailbox of the address you set with your Dropbox account ......


Since such a mail has arrived, tap "Verify your email" and you will be able to use Dropbox & Carousel.


When photos and movies are synchronized, photos and movies are organized by date and time as shown below, and you can access newer photos and movies by scrolling up the screen. In addition, Carousel's excellent place is that the main screen itself maintains practical quality as a gallery application for browsing photos and movies. Since you can enlarge / play quickly just by tapping pictures / movies, it is a level that you can use as a gallery application well.


Tap the photo icon ......


The picture will be enlarged to the full screen. Swipe up on the screen if you want to send this photo to someone.


Confirm that you want to send at the top left of the screen, tap "SHARE".

In addition, once the person who sent the picture or movie is registered, the second and subsequent transmissions are very easy as it is OK if you tap this address.


Also, it is possible to share photos and movies even outside Carousel. After selecting the photos and movies you want to share and tap "SHARE" ......


Tap "Share icon" next to the mail address input field ......


It is also possible to share with Message · Mail · Twitter.

People who sent pictures and movies can get pictures / movies as long as you have installed the Carousel application. So, I tried Nexus 5 to receive and share photos and movies.

Search for the application "Carousel" on Google Play and tap "Install".


Tap "I agree".


When installation is completed, tap "Open".


The Carousel application will be launched, so if you register your Dropbox account as before, you are ready.


◆Receive photos & movies
When you receive a photo or movie, an alert is displayed on the upper line of the screen, so tap the alert.


Tap the sender.


Then, the movie received one minute ago was displayed. In Carousel, a share page is prepared for each sender, and shared photos and movies are added to that page more and more.


To watch, tap the movie.


Then you can play the movie in streaming format.


If you like this movie, you can save it in your own Carousel application (inside smartphone). To save it, tap "Keep (numbers) videos" OK.


It is also possible to send a message from the text form at the bottom of the screen.


Carousel has only apps made by Dropbox, and cooperation with Dropbox is extremely smooth and easy. Viewing pictures and movies is extremely comfortable, and it is a perfection degree that can be withstood regularly as a gallery application. With Dropbox + Carousel, if you manage your photos & movies on your smartphone in a centralized way, you can easily share photos and movies with your family and friends, as well as access the data anytime, anywhere as long as you have an internet environment, and even as a measure against data loss risk Very useful.
