Bellow Folds Below the Fold
When replying to an email the original email is collapsed into bellow folds to indicate content is being hidden. Tapping the feature expands the page to reveal the content. This was very intuitive feature.
I did not observe a method to collapse the quoted content, perhaps a few pinch motions akin to playing an accordion?

Dropbox iOS app: Welcome
When the Dropbox i0S app is first opened this screen appears.

The start button is located in the upper right corner, yet their is a message at the bottom of the page.
Recommendation: Place a Start button near the bottom of the screen, below the message so the user does not have to read the message then look to the top of the screen for the next action option. The Start button leads to this page.

I wonder why they decided to use Title Case for the labels. It is not wrong, just makes for a strange amount of importance for the word Already.

Pop-over: Cannot Open Page
During a phone call, you cannot surf the web, and this is the message that appears when you try.

Recommendation: Include another button that allows the user to end call or allows the user to switch to the phone app.
Cannot Open PageSafari cannot open the page.Note: The punctuation is correct, there is a period inside and outside of the final quotation mark.
The error was: "A data connection cannot be established since a call is currently active.".
Recommendation: Include another button that allows the user to end call or allows the user to switch to the phone app.

When you mark the checkbox then additional information appears:
"This can be changed in Firefox's preferences."

I like the use of contextual information; however, if it does not appear until I mark the checkbox then you are really only comforting users who are probably content with their decision and therefore probably do not need to know that the setting can be altered at a later time.

Recommendation: Include the explanation statement in parenthesis regardless of the checkbox state.
