Sony’s latest firmware update is official under way. Upon signing in, players will be given the option to upgrade to version 4.01
One major aspect of this update is the web browser support. Many of you may be aware of the lackluster browser and the finicky display options, where pages just didn’t seem to fit the screen. Sony has addressed this issue by optimizing the accuracy when viewing the page layouts. As reported by Octavarium last week, the familiar Playstation Network is now a thing of the past. Today marks the official change to the Sony Entertainment Network(SEN).
Alongside these updates, SEN subscribers will now have access to a Dropbox application. Dropbox is a cloud based storage device used to transfer files with ease across virtually every operating system. Previously, those browser problems limited the use of the service. Now, users have the option to share their movies, music and other files from their PC or smartphones with their consoles, no matter how close or what network they are on. No longer will you have to use flash drives or external storage devices to transfer profiles or data.
This isn’t the first method of cloud based storage offered to SEN users though. Back in August cloud support was added in the 3.70 firmware for Playstation Plus subscribers. With competition coming from a free unsupported source, it will be interesting to see how Sony reacts. Will support be cut or welcomed with open arms? Dropbox does not limit what types of data can be transfered, so the possibilities are endless. Will official support be added to limit the transfer of gamesaves, or even more sensitive files?
