Dropbox Mailbox - We're all done

However, he realized that the problems that exist today with emails can not be easily solved with a customer, but going deeper than what has caused these problems.

The guys must have thought carefully about the words chosen to announce the end of it, but at the end of the day we know that in fact Mailbox must have conquered a number of loyal users, which is difficult to sustain within the company. A FAQ was posted with guidelines for users on what to do from now on.

And it wasn't just him. Another who is also saying goodbye Carousel, created by Dropbox itself and released in April 2014.

End of Dropbox Carousel

The idea of ​​Carousel was to be an independent app for photos stored in Dropbox, but the company realized over time that most users continued to browse and view photos in the main app itself.
