Folders Coming Soon
We finally gave in.
You see, I was very against folders at the beginning. One of the main reasons for this was because the singular goal of DropBoks as a service is to be the simplest and most intuitive option available, period. We are very cautious about adding new features. The main reason I decided to create DropBoks in the first place was because the options in the market had tons of features I didn’t need or want. So you can understand my reasoning.
But requests for folders (and sometimes tags) from our users just kept coming in; without letup. I kept trying to fight it, but the logic for adding the feature was very sound.
So we agreed as a team that folders would be a good feature and started the brainstorming process. The number one goal of this process was to add the capability to create/edit/move folders and so on, but not present the feature to users who weren’t looking for it. We never forget our users that only want the bare bones, so we didn’t want to screw them.
We believe that the end result will be a perfect solution for all of our users. Hang tight

Yea!!! This is one feature that I have been waiting for from Day – 1……
While dropboks was great at storing current files it was a real pain storing archives that I would not be using regularly but would need once in a while….Without tucking them away in some folder they kept getting in the way!!!
Just can’t wait to see the interface you guys come up with for the folder structure (or labels)!!!!
I just feel its gona be something inovative!!!
Thanks a lot guys!!!

Folders will be very useful when you add sharing.
When will that be? I have a firewalled friend who I need to exchange files with and you have such a great interface.
50MB is a limit I can live with (though 100 sure would be nice)
Great service, I recommend it.
Yay, i hope this feature becomes available soon, and when this becomes available it will be the ultimate online storage.

I haven’t had the need for folders or labels, but I usually don’t have many files in my account, if/when you guys add sharing or increase the filesize limit, folders will surely come in handy.
Just put Folder feature as an Option for who don’t need it ^ ^
Anyway Folder is best to manage files if you have too many files and you need to category them ( music, document … )
And you can share a folder to anyone too ( public ) I hope this’ll be next feature too.
Besides, I have a question : is there any limit file size ?
love the folders! love the simplicity!
the folders add to the simplicity, i think
(by the way, you invited comments about folders on your other post, but comments are closed…)
