One of the features we use on Android to brag about how great Android is to our friends is Google Now. Which is a pretty big feature as well as a cool one. Google Now was introduced back at Google I/O 2012 with Android 4.1 – Jelly Bean, and is available on every phone running Android 4.1 or higher. Now there are two parts to Google Now. There’s the screen that shows you cards, like the one below, then there’s the search where you can type in your search or say what you want to search for. In that screen there are plenty of commands you can use to show off how great Android really is.

Dropproxy Hides Your Dropbox Username from Public Files

Dropproxy Hides Your Dropbox Username from Public Files

 

Sharing links from Dropbox is great, but when you do so you’re always throwing your username out there to the public. If that bothers you, Dropproxy is a webapp that hides your Dropbox username and creates a proxy address for sharing with the public.

Dropproxy is simple, just enter in the URL of the Dropbox file you want to share, and Dropproxy shields your username so the person you’re sharing it with can’t access any other public files. You can also share your whole public folder and hide your username as well. Of course, you’re handing over your Dropbox username to Dropproxy, but it doesn’t need a password. If you don’t want to make your Dropbox username public when you share files, this is a simple way to do so.
