Support embroidery machine file formats

I use DropBox to support my hobbies including YouTube, sewing, embroidery and cosplay. DropBox is a fabulous resource for backing up files and ensuring I don't lose digital assets such as sewing patterns (PDF) and images of my fabric stash for planning purposes.

Embroidery machines use fairly unique file types and DropBox does not support the following file types: .art, .dst, .exp, .hus, .jef, .pcs, .pes, .sew, .vip, .vp3, and .xxx. I'm unable to use DropBox to support my embroidery hobby to backup/centralize/organize these specific assets.

    Hi unpicked_seams​!

    Thanks for chiming in with your idea, great to hear how passionate you are about this!

    However I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as Rich, in that I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "Support" as you should be able to upload these files already.

    Are you having issues doing so?

    Please let me know so I can either assist or carry on with the idea process.

    Support, how? You can upload any of those file types to Dropbox and store them in your account. How, exactly, do you want Dropbox to support them?
