How do I get notified when the Dropbox app is updated?

I realized that I was running a very old version of Dropbox for Mac. Somehow I was not notified about the latest updates. I was expecting the same behavior as apps like 1Password.

In the past, I missed out Selective Sync by few months which I was eagerly waiting for.

I was running 1.1.35 (Under Preferences/ Account) and the latest version is 1.1.43 .

Where can I find the config to let Dropbox auto-update/prompt me on every release, similar to 1Password.

Try MacDropUpdate.

It's an automatic updater that automatically updates your Dropbox to the latest forum build of Dropbox. Works on OS X Leopard|Snow Leopard|Lion.

Edit: it's also Growl-enabled, so you may get notified whenever Dropbox's been updated.

Inspired by this question, I made an RSS feed for Mac betas. You can find it at http://feeds.feedburner.com/dropboxmacbeta

The official RSS feed https://www.dropbox.com/release_notes/rss.xml has the release notes, the feedburner feed links directly to the DMG so you can download it, and it links to the forum discussion for that specific build so you can see if there are any details/issues that other people have found.
