Dropbox's recent gamble and failure with Carousel has to be a big blow. Especially considering how successful Google Photos has been so far.
When they launched Carousel I had hopes that they'd really capture the market [1]. But nearly 2 years later I think Google ended up out Carouseling Dropbox [2].

- themartorana 11y agoGoogle Photos is so far and away technically superior that Carousel just got out-competed. I was a Carousel user (after Adobe Revel and a bunch of other "store them all here for one price" services) and none had caused the fundamental shift in photo storage thinking (for me) that Google Photos does. I just wish they'd charge me something. Free services scare me (yes I know they're data mining my photos).
- jmathai 11y agoI pay for Google Drive where my Google Photos are stored. They probably still mine my data, I'm sure.
