Amused that their domain/handle is getcommande and… you cannot get Command E.
Anyway, I worked on a product like this a few years back. It’s a really challenging problem, mainly because the APIs you need to use are severely limiting at scale. My team speculated that it would take an acquisition of this kind to make it viable. Not for funding/runway per se (although that helps), but for the potential for integration deals with more generous (ie not as severely rate limited) access and API designs intended to support the use case.
Notwithstanding Dropbox’s reputation, I’m hopeful to see how this goes if it does become available again with the same general set of features.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoAlso worth mentioning that at the time we were working on this, there were a few other startups doing similar things. Quite a few more have come and gone since. It’s a really interesting space, but one in which it’s clearly hard to succeed.
