Dropbox drops Carousel and Mailbox


Building new products is about learning as much as it's about making. It's also about tough choices. Over the past few months, we've increased our team's focus on collaboration and simplifying the way people work together. In light of that, we've made the difficult decision to shut down Carousel and Mailbox.

Mailbox is pretty nifty, but not for me. Mailbox to me didn't really fit into my idea of what Dropbox does, even though I can appreciate them trying to solve a big universal problem.

Carousel though I do like and Dropbox's way to automatically sync mobile camera photos/video is pretty nice. Carousel makes it easy to browse those photos, however, iOS's newer Photos/iCloud Photo works well enough for me. Apple's latest solution isn't perfect by any means, but good enough to kind of forget about Carousel.
