Hi folks, we’ve been keeping an eye on the thread here and it’s clear many of you would like a further response from us.
We understand that those here are very passionate about Showcase, and we love to hear your voices and so we want to shed some further light on this decision.
Sometimes trying to find the right solution to our customer’s problems takes a number of iterations, a number of pivots. Showcase was designed to be a great resource to share your work, as many of you here have clearly been doing.
To keep anything, including Showcase, up and operational isn’t unfortunately a case of setting it up and stepping back. As with any feature, significant resources need to be dedicated to maintaining it. In the interest of driving our product experience forward and creating the best overall experience we have had to make the tough decision to redeploy those resources.
From a functionality perspective, we’ve built out many of the key elements of Showcase that our users told us they loved at a greater depth – from our new Dropbox Transfer, to branded sharing, to traffic and insights. While Showcase as a solution will no longer exist, we hope that most of you will not only be able to complete the same tasks and workflows within our new suite, but actually be able to do it with greater efficiency and ease in the long run.
I want to stress that we do value your feedback on this. And while in this case we’re not able to pursue your desired direction, we hope that this decision will allow us to work on and improve other features that will improve your experience and enjoyment of the overall Dropbox product.
Many thanks,
Ross
