Dropbox for Android uses many key elements of Material Design in its 3.0 update.

The interface adds color to the status bar on some screens, which gives a more uniform look to the app. The floating action button now will create a new folder, text file, upload files, take a picture, or insert content from your computer. 

If you have Dropbox on your device already don’t want to wait for the update to make the usual, slow rollout to the ay Store then grab it now from A Mirror

The impact on you: Even though the rollout of Material Design may not have been a quick as would have preferred, eventually you’ll find the majority of Android apps follow these general patterns. It brings some consistency to how apps look perform, which had long been a weakness on Android.
