Users mail list for Dropbox
I've been wondering lately why there has been so little useful stuff written about Fargo. It's an interesting product from a lot of angles. - So I've been asking questions, and this is what I've figured out.
- 1. There are great places to go for reviews of Mac products.
- 2. If you want to know about software that's sold on Amazon, you'll find lots of reviews from users. I understand that well because I depend on reviews for almost everything I buy on Amazon.
- 3. For IOS and Android apps there are the stores, which have reviews.
- But there is no place, that I know for Dropbox users to find out what the great apps are and what users are doing with them.
- Probably because Dropbox as a platform is so new?
- It's like a fog here, because we're all operating with so little information.
- So let's solove the problem. I started a mail list today for users of Dropbox who want to be in the loop on all kinds of new products. Obviously it's a chicken and egg thing. If enough users show up, the developers will follow, and vice versa.
- https://groups.google.com/forum/dropbox-users
- We'll probably need some rules of conduct at some point, or move to a blog or blogs, because mail lists always tend to flame out if there's no moderation, but for now, it's a good way for people to meet, if there's enough interest.
- As a vendor of a Dropbox-based product, I can tell you I am highly motivated to see this work. Most people who use Dropbox, some of whom would love a great outliner, don't know my product exists. I want desperately to fix that. :-)
