None of those three make my life better or easier:
Dropbox -> We drop your data directly on S3 but give you worst security...
Slack -> Being able to navigate our messy interface is an IQ test in itself...
Instagram -> Only makes your life better if you have bikini posts to share....

- hparadiz 2y agoI remember what it was like before Dropbox and Slack and I can tell you both have saved me hundreds of hours directly. Can't say that for IG.
- belter 2y ago> I remember what it was like before Dropbox And despite all that, I get mysteriously being pushed by partner companies I work with, this product named Box. With tactics similar to the push to use Teams. It's like being volunteered for karaoke night by your Japanese boss...
- MOARDONGZPLZ 2y agoAll three of these products have made my life substantially better.
- belter 2y agoNext you are going to recommend me Windows and Teams? :-)

- gopher2000 2y agoMany people clearly love them and have found great utility using them. Not sure what point you're trying to make - that you're different?
