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 suggest not delete Showcase but even enhance their features with the possibility to create an online catalog that companies could share with their customers. We used this feature much with showcase and now very angry DropBox to close it. This service was luck of two things - 1. possibility to collaborate in creating showcases 2. possibility to make folders in Show Case - It could be a real rival for the Brandfolder.com. Please return it back !

Hello Dropbox Family, Thank you so much for all that you do to store large files!!! I have absolutely LOVED Showcase and use it to magicallyand beautifully share files with many clients around the world.Is there any way you can please keep SHOWCASE???I do not know of another way to so easily and professionally sendvideo and audio.Please consider my request from a very grateful online business owner and customer of dropbox.

Hi DropBox Team, I am a customer on Professional Plan and have been using for nearly 3 years (I was a user at another business prior for 4 years)., I love the current product line up and system. A feature I rely on heavily is the Showcase. I use this to collaborate and share materials with team and other creatives in a visual manner. I don't believe the Folder share can offer the same visual and collaborative experience for those that I work with using Showcase. I received notification that the Showcase is being discontinued in about a month. I'm really concerned as I rely on this heavily. I particularly love DropBox Showcase because you can add different materials and file types. You can then arrange them in a visual pleasing manner for others. You can even re-arrange to easily show more recent content. On some Showcase pages I have Word Docs, PDFs, MP4’s. Others I may use PDFs and MP3 files. Kidn regards- Chris

I´m very angry. I got several showcase that functios as a permanet way to my customers to access to the material a deliver in a visual an organized way. Deliver videos to me is not as easy as send a link one time and finish. I deliver to a big corporation an many people thougth time has to access and showcase is the meeting point to this. Now, i´m really mess up.Too bad dropbox. Right now...looking for other options.

Hi, I perfectely agree with you Chivers !I have used Showcase a bit like you, as a very simple webpage to share files in a profesionnal manner. A very useful tool, fast and easy to use in a small team. very sad and disapointing that Dropbox is going to stop it. Best, Clément

MMM77 You're welcome. I really wish I didn't have to go looking at all. Dropbox really pulled one over on us here. I personally will not be renewing my account. I've already got my Synology SAN loaded with 8TBs 👍🏻. I honestly think that Niice is the best alternative but I don't know how they're gonna bridge the pricing gap. Also Invision Boards would be another good alternative. In the end though it looks like I'll be changing my workflow.

Thank you dietoself86 the InVision boards looks to me to be the closest solution that matches what I use Showcase for. Great suggestion, thank you.

And MMM77 - I agree. It is terrible to have committed a business to a package with DropBox and then the product cancelled. I too have the same challenge. I have used Dropbox for a decade professionally and 3 years ago took up another account with my business purely for Showcase. If I move to another product/service, I too will be a lost customer to DropBox

I have begun engaging InVision about their boards product. $7.95 a month for multiple users!
Wow!

Will let you know how I go with them.
My solution must be able to showcase Word docs, PDFs, Images, Audio andf Video files. (on any device) with ability to download from the page.

no puedo creer que bajen showcase. Lo usábamos muchísimo para realizar presentaciones con clientes nuevos. Una decisión desacertada

Me, too. I'll likely be downgrading my DB subscription, now.

I've just tried out Branded Sharing and Branded Transfer. Neither of them remotely resemble the presentation quality of Showcase. They only display tiny thumbnails. YOu can't simply move items around. Actually, I could go on and on, what they lack.

In case anyone would like to use Sharekits as an alternative to Showcase, here's a 30% discount coupon for the members of the community: DROPBOXFORUM

Not everyone will find it as a viable alternative, but we're receiving many Showcase users who are happy with the tool.

Here are a couple of examples of how the content could be shown:

Example 1
Example 2

Hope it helps!

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

I truly wish you had better news. The options you suggest are not really close to the functionality of Showcase.

The very short notice ( aprrox. 2 ish months) that you were deleting showcase has
caused some stress for sure. I have thousands of people relying on their showcase links. It will be a huge shock for them, who I cannot reach for whatever reason, when January 31st comes around and boom, all gone.

Hi people. I and my team are working on a service like sharekits but with a lower price and hope to offer soon. If they can´t offer what we need we have to do something about it.

I appreciate someone took the time to respond. Though showcase honestly is the biggest reason I use Dropbox over alternatives is showcase when I have work to present to a client. It's just great that a cloud service also is where I can directly present my work from. Anyway will look into the alternatives mentioned above and move on.
