Popular cloud storage service Dropbox has recently released a new application called Carousel, which can be used to organize your entire photo and video library with a swipe of your finger. Carousel is available on both iOS and Android platforms for free via the Carousel website.

Carousel takes your media files from a linked Dropbox account and arranges them by time, date, and the particular event where the file was first created. Anytime you take a new photo or video with your smartphone or tablet, it is instantly uploaded and backed up to the cloud without taking up any of your device’s precious internal memory. Your files can be accessed from any of your devices through Dropbox.

According to Dropbox, Carousel users have various sharing options that include the capability to converse with people you’ve chosen to share files with. This new app offers users a whole new outlook on the classic Dropbox app; viewing media files via Carousel is much faster and simpler. You can easily navigate to the beginning, middle, or end of your photo stream with a slider located conveniently at the bottom of the screen.

The excellent intermediate Canon EOS R10 camera is $86 off at Walmart today
Canon EOS R10 camera mirrorless with STM lens attached and flash up

I recently grabbed a Canon EOS R50 bundle for a trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research before I made my decision, sifting through the best camera deals, and the two options I essentially narrowed down were the R50 and the EOS R10. The biggest difference between the two is that the R10 gives you more granular control over some of the photoshoot settings. R50, on the other hand, was designed assuming you'll mostly use the automatic shooting modes. That's a great option for novices, while the R10 is better for intermediate to more skilled photographers. Why am I telling you all of this? Because the excellent Canon EOS R10 camera is on sale at Walmart for Black Friday, discounted by $86 to $760 instead of $846. It is one of the better early Black Friday camera deals I've found so far. It comes with an 18-45mm lens. Needless to say, that's a great deal. Comparatively, the R10 with body only -- no lens -- is .
