Finally one shutdown that is clearly positive for users. I hope Goole will also make sure that cloud print app is also removed from all android phones.

- bryanrasmussen 6y agoif it's so positive, why are the other people in this thread so upset? (early thread, not lots of responses yet)
- swiley 6y agoMost of them are probably upset about all the other stuff google got rid of that people actually used.
- vidarh 6y agoGoogle Cloud Print is a service I actually use. However, because of the way Google acts, I've stopped taking advantage of new services they add, as I can't trust them to remain available. I now actively avoid Google services whenever I can.
- nvr219 6y agoOther people in this thread will be upset because hn loves to get mad whenever Google shuts down anything even if they don't use it.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoit sounds like most of the responses of people upset are because they use it.
- thesuperbigfrog 6y agoI actually used Google Cloud Print, Google Play Music, Inbox, and Reader. It is annoying to use a service and spend time and effort getting everything setup on it (e.g. setting up computers and printers, importing music, etc.) to have the rug pulled out from under you without a replacement or explanation. I value stability and long-term solutions so I don't have to continually "fix" things that were previously working fine. Each time Google shuts down something that I use, it impacts me and I have to change things. If they force me to change things, then I might as well look into alternative non-Google solutions that have better stability and longer lifespans.
- corobo 6y agoLast time Google killed something someone pointed out that we're still mad that Google killed Reader and honestly that was dead on for me
