Vodafone Group and Dropbox have introduced a new mobile-first service exclusively for Vodafone's customers. The service called Backup+ integrates with the Dropbox cloud storage service and offers new features designed for smartphone users. Backup+ will enable Vodafone customers to sync automatically their contacts as well as save all photos, videos and other files in a Dropbox account. Any files can also be restored to a new device or accessed and shared through the Dropbox mobile application.
The Dropbox app will come preloaded on the majority of Vodafone's Android phones, and will be promoted to iPhone users for download. Existing Dropbox customers will be able to sign into their account through Backup+. New customers will be able to set up a Dropbox account through Backup+ and get 25 GB of free space for one year. Vodafone will begin rolling out Backup+ to iOS and Android app stores by the end of March, and customers in most Vodafone markets will be able to start using it over the coming months.
