Don't remove Dropbox Showcase !
Hello,
I just heard that Dropbox Showcase was going to disappear. I am both sad and very upset to hear this news. A few years ago I decided to take out a Business subscription for this tool. This unique tool, almost perfect, that makes all the difference! Indeed, I use Showcase on a daily basis to respond to calls for tenders from my clients. Dropbox Showcase allows me to create a response where the customer can find videos references, images, quotes, .etc ... all this in an interactive and professional presentation. This tool is perfect in my opinion! The interface, the ease of use with being able to import your Dropbox files, .etc ... it saves me incredible time! It allowed me to show off my projetcs and win many calls for tenders! I have always had very positive feedback from my clients thanks to Showcase. You say today that you replace this tool with Dropbox Transfer, I am deeply sad because it really has nothing to do with it! I feel abandoned. I found InvisionApp which comes close but which is useless for me because I am a videographer and it is impossible to host videos in it. To my knowledge you were the only ones in this area, and no tool today will be able to replace what you had built! 😞 I don't understand your decision and I share with you my deep disappointment. 😞
Please, don't remove Dropbox Showcase ! 🙏
Bye,
Olivier.
I completely agree! Showcase is the reason why I left Office One Drive 2 years ago for Dropbox!! Showcase is not perfect but it's so important and I was waiting for more features for a while!... but no... they cancel it??? Who made this stupid decision?
I am now leaving Dropbox soon again as I did for One Drive looking for something similar to Showcase.
What a mistake! And they tell us that there is something similar on dropbox to replace Showcase. This is bull**bleep**. They have nothing to replace this!
2020 can't be worst now!
If someone knows something that can repalce Dropbox and Showcase at the same time please tell me!
Haven't found anything yet that compares for ease of use and affordability to Showcase yet signed up for Niice 3.0 updates and hope they come through. I hope the developers of Dropbox are reading our posts and reconsidering their decision to abandon us. Merry Blissmas.
I chose my plan based on Showcase. It is a bit like Sharepoint to make simple presentations of documents. Now, all I have for dropbox is a way to share files (branded) but do not have a way to present several files in an orderly way with text. This is seriously functionality that they are removing from Dropbox. Please don't take Showcase away!
I hope and pray that the higher ups with all of the bucks take a moment to read our sharing and passion to share our work via the ease and quality of showcase and reconsider dismantling it. I have had thousands of views and downloads of my showcase files, quality content viewed and shared with ease due to showcase seamless platform from 60 minute videos to multiple audios ... all to serve the upliftment of fellow man and woman. where else is this possible?
Hi everyone,
It looks inevitable with Showcase.
Has anyone managed to find a suitable alternative?
I tested DropBox Paper again but it does not have the same level of features.
This feature is also the main reason I use Dropbox. Instead of creating a website, I host all of my portfolio work here for businesses and companies to work with me. It is because of showcase that I can SHOWCASE my work to studios and producers. Now if this creature is gone I will have to use another service to design and create a private portfolio or a website -- I was trying to avoid building a website as I already manage 2.
Smh. At least create Dropbox Portfolios or something.
I've all but moved over to Google Sites. It's a little more difficult at first and time consuming, but it works very similarly. Once the site is published, I've changed the link via rebrandly to look like it's a subdirectory of the website.
I am in total agreement with Chivers. Tranfer is not a replacement. I bought the business account for the Showcase function. I use it for my business and it is perfect for presenting a lot of visual media, files, and records for my clients. I'm horrified to lose all the work I put into these.

jeremykatz Thanks for the tip on rebrandly! Implemented that for myself yesterday.
Thanks dietoself for sharing all those possibilities. Unfortunately none are quite the fit for my needs but very appreciative of your time in reporting your findings on alternatives.
