We're really excited to hear all of your musical stories with Dropbox so we thought we'd get the ball rolling by sharing one of our favourites from the Community over the last year.   Nothing makes us happier than hearing about all of the different ways our Community members use Dropbox. So, when @moverl told us all about how he and his bandmates use Dropbox to keep the music flowing we knew we just had to share it with you all. We promise, reading this will definitely help shift those mid-week blues!   We started a new Blues band -"Blue Sky Bluesband". All the members of the new band are over sixty, and we have been in love with party, dance, and rock'n roll music for decades. Since the people who throw the parties that we want to play are a little younger than us, they tend to demand newer music from the 80's and 90's, which we don’t want to play…. We hope instead to attract attention from the growing number of blues clubs and bars in Europe! The love of the blues is growing and we want to be right there!    To prepare for a rehearsal or a show, we listen to Youtube and Spotify and make a playlist to agree what songs to play. Our aim is to play high-energy danceable blues rock - both classics and newer material.    Once we agree on a set list, I find the chords and lyrics for the song on Ultimate Guitar, and make a playlist for the band here and upload the songs to a Dropbox shared folder that we all have access to. From there I download them to the app "Songbook Pro"  where the songs are organized in sets.   Then, all that’s left to do is hit that stage and perform!   Hearing how creative our Community members can get when using Dropbox never ceases to amaze us and now we really want to to go see the Blue Sky Bluesband perform!   Do you have a story of your own to share with us? Or any tips and questions for @moverl  - drop them in the comments below and we can have a jam session of our own. Ok, sorry for the bad puns!  ... View more

If you’re reading this post, there’s probably a good chance that you’re a musician or passionate about music. If that’s the case, you’re definitely in the right place and I’d like to take this opportunity to be the first to welcome you to our brand new Community group for musicians, a place where you can connect with other musicians and people who share your passion.     Who can join?   This group is open to anyone who has an interest in music. From professionals to novices and everyone else in between, if you’ve mastered the mandolin, just discovered an awesome Spotify playlist or just want to share how you use your Dropbox account as a musician, this is the perfect place for you to come and let others know.      What can I post?   We want this space to be all about you, so you can post pretty much anything music related here. Whatever the genre, or instrument, this is a space for you to come and discuss what’s currently hitting all of the right notes for you. So, if you want to talk about your favourite band, find a bass player or organise a jam session in your local area, tell people how you prepare for gigs using your Dropbox account, or list the pros and cons of digital versus analogue sound, this group is the ideal place to start the discussion. This group is a social place, so while we want you to talk about Dropbox and help each other, it’s not intended to be your first stop for customer support. So, if you are looking for help from one of our Community Moderators, the best place to find it is still over on our Ask the community board.     Tell us what you think   This group won’t work without all of you getting involved so we’d love to hear your thoughts about how we can make it better, so if you’ve got any feedback, or just want to say hi, please leave a comment below. ...
