PR? The code is on github, and imho a very nice accessible explanation of their algorithm is in the linked article. They developed some neat software to save money by essentially modernizing JPEG to compress beyond the 8x8 blocks it was designed to use and, having done that, are now letting other people use it too. What is with your crabby, paranoid attitude? Instead of being an asshole, you could just, you know, build the code yourself and experiment with it, rather than sneering at a gift horse. This is e
This isn't about restoring a JPEG file back into its original RAW format. The information lost from converting RAW to JPEG is gone. There is no way to get that back.
This is about storing JPEG files more efficiently. DropBox is in the business of providing cloud storage, and it is in their best interest to keep their costs as low as possible. The more they can compress data for their customers, the more efficiently they use their infrastructure. Some files such as text documents are easy to compress. S
Look, they clearly state that the operate at the level of JPEG-files. So, where is the confusion coming from? They are analyzing JPEG files and using features of that format to compress the already compressed files further.
Which I, honestly, find very impressive.

It's not a file format, it's a compression algorithm that happens at the data storage level. This is similar to compressing a hard drive -- the files are individually compressed, but the file formats are the same, and the OS handles the compression/decompression seamlessly so that the applications don't even know they're accessing compressed versions of the file formats they normally use.
You can keep all your JPEGs, and with the open-source license, compress the contents of a drive or partition with this
