Don't remove Dropbox Showcase !

This Honestly was the only thing that separated Dropbox from their competitors and the main reason for a biz subscription. I never received anything asking about the usefulness of showcase.

I'm glad someone has posted this.

Removing Showcase is very upsetting to those of us at organizations with very few resouces.

I personally trained my colleagues to use this and it has been used in grant applications and other important uses where we counted on them being available to our constituents long-term.

I think that if people knew about this resource, especially if marketed to designers at nonprofits and schools, it would have been more widely used.

I really hope dropbox changes their mind on this.

Yes, exactly!

I really think dropbox should do a new poll of their showcase users. I, like many others on this thread did not receive any questionnaire about dropbox showcase.  I hope they make the right choice and keep this thing going -- they'll no doubt be losing quite a few user paying user if not.

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.

Please keep showcase. I use for precicely it's intended purpose. and I upgraded my dropbox account in order to access showcase. now you're taking that away. Not happy, Jan!

I also use Showcase.  I use it to present graphical options to my clients for them to make choices from.  So I have a branded link that I can send to a client, they can go and look at the options available and then they let me know which options they want to go with.

Since Showcase is being removed I don't know what options I have in Dropbox to do the same thing, I guess I will have to build something in my website or find another company that can supply the functionality.

I'm not happy about this, especially the flippant tone that Dropbox has taken with it, it almost sounds like they are doing us a favour by removing the functionality, but hey they had feedback from their customers?

Is anybody of Dropbox earing us? Would be very, very nice to see some people of the staff saying something.

Hi again guys,

I flagged this thread in my Dropbox Support ticket. They've informed me in no uncertain terms that they've made the decision to shut Showcase down. There's basically no hope. 

There is indication of new tools being created but nothing available at prtesent. For those like us - running a business, this is devastating news. 

From all research - the closest thing avaialbel is Paper. But for those of us relying on adding media content and havign the ability to allow clients/collaborators to download; Paper is ineffective. 

I'll spend the festive period looking at other products. Unless DropBox can present a new possibility, I may be forced to pull my account and take the business elsewhere.

otticolab , Yep, thanks for sharing. This is not suprising. I've given up hope and migrated all of my showcases over to smug mug. It works for my line of biz, might not for everyone...

I'm dissapointed but no longer disconsolate.
