I'm struggling to work out what this is and how it can help me.

@drcongo How do you share files currently?
Alex Putici
@drcongo I'm with you. This looks like it may be more beneficial: http://www.producthunt.com/tech/...

@drcongo Cool. So you don't use Google Docs then?

Finally, I've needed this forever. So excited about taking the work out of my work.

Yo, Hunters! It’s taken us a little longer than we would’ve liked but the new Minbox is finally here. It’s lean, mean, and clean… built to take the work out of work. You can now connect clouds (more coming soon), invite your team, and share files like never before. We’re excited to finally bring this to y'all and we're looking forward to your feedback. Hope you dig it! And stay tuned for some more announcements in the near future… ;) - Alexander and the Minbox team PS.

@amimran I had no idea what this was until I read the blog post, and now it makes sense. It's like Finder, for all the stuff you have in different cloud services (dropbox, asana etc..) Good job @amimran! Will try it out. Although I think your true calling is replacing Sandwich Video...

@shaanvp @amimran Thx Shaan!

Looks super clean. Keen to try this out, downloaded the Mac app, but it's stuck in loading with the black top bar occasionally flashing? @amimran any ideas how to fix? Edit: I'm in. Ok next :) Would love to upload my company logo - as suggested in the tutorial - but 'Upload Logo' button doesn't work?

@pieterpaul You on Yosemite? If so, just right-click to reload. If that doesn't fix it, email us!

@pieterpaul Ah - fix for that is coming. Just do that in Chrome for now. Drag and dropping files is how to get them into the Mac app...

Cool! I was just looking for a new dropshare service to test out. What makes Minbox different from all the other ones (Jumpshare, CloudApp etc.) out there?

@juanbuis Hey Juan! Yes, great timing. Minbox has a Mac app (Yosemite only atm) that lets you upload files and grab a link, share screenshots, and more. It's free and fast! :)

@amimran this looks REALLY useful for us -- currently we're split across Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, Basecamp, Trello and Hellosign, and having all of that in one place would be fantastic. Some questions: 1) What's your estimated timeline for getting Basecamp, Gmail, Evernote and Hellosign supported? 2) When you have Basecamp support, is the idea that I'll be able to create and manage Basecamp projects right inside Minbox? Thanks! Awesome product idea, hope you guys do fantastic :)

Absolutely love your videos! It looks like you made Gryzzl's vision of a cloud for your cloud come true. Great job on the interface too!

Interesting to see how Minbox have evolved. I am a big fan of your video: https://youtu.be/QKw2qlqAAW8 Big companies have high requirements when it comes to security, smaller and more tech-savy companies already have project management tool that offers some file sharing. I see you are not trying to fight with Google Drive / Box and Dropbox here, it doesn't look like you are picking a fight with slack, asana and basecamp either. Beautiful design aside, what are the use cases you are considering new Minbox be useful? Where is the "work" you are trying to take out from work?

@yeesamson Thx for the question! Minbox sees itself as an organization and collaboration tool that sits on top of clouds, not adjacent to them. So while there are many use-cases that fit, one salient example is when sharing externally. Groups of disparate cloud files are hard to share and manage when going beyond your company's walls. Give it a try and let us know if it works for you!
