I signed up for a free account to play around and am quite impressed. Hosted options are nice, even though I have a Linode account for self-hosted apps.
1) How different is the OpenPhoto webapp from the Trovebox app? Does they support all the same features?
2) How does the Dropbox integration work? Can I move photos into the Apps/Trovebox folder and have them be automatically synced with the web site? I'm using the Dropbox Photo Sync feature, so it would be super handy to not have to re-upload them to Trovebox.
3) After signing up and uploading photos, I clicked on a link someone posted below to associate my dropbox account with the trovebox account. My photo upload was still going at the same time, and I started to get dropbox notifications about new files being added so I stopped the uploading. However, I can't see anything in the settings that tells me what storage back my account is using. How can I see/change it?
This is a very exciting app & service, which might be The Solution to sharing photos within my extended family!
1) 99% the same. We've streamlined a few functions on the hosted version (Trovebox). Things like migrating between storage services, importing from 3rd party sites, etc. The core and API are 100% identical. In fact our mobile apps for iOS/Android work for Trovebox & OpenPhoto instances.
2) The Dropbox integration is one way. Trovebox -> Dropbox. On Trovebox we have a beta feature that lets you upload via Dropbox by dragging photos to a specified folder.
3) So that notification is simply us putting the photo in your Dropbox. That's how the Dropbox support works :). Can you let me know what you were expecting?
You can always drop us an email at support@trovebox.com with questions.

I expected the Dropbox notification. :)
What I would like is a way to see where my photos are currently being stored, and a way to switch storage back from Dropbox to Trovebox (I only have 8GB of storage in DB).
