When we introduced Carousel in April 2014, we believed a standalone app would be a better way to experience photos. We're proud to have created a photo app that many of you use and love. However, over the past year and a half, we've learned the vast majority of our users prefer the convenience and simplicity of interacting with their photos directly inside of Dropbox. With this in mind, we've had to make a difficult decision.

On March 31st, we're shutting down Carousel as a standalone app and returning to a single Dropbox photo experience. Carousel has always been a way to view and interact with photos stored in Dropbox. All the photos in your Carousel timeline will remain safe in your Dropbox where they've always been. If you have photos you received through conversations or shared albums that you want to save, check out the instructions in our Help Center.

After Carousel shuts down you'll still be able to view and share your photos in the Photos tab on the web and in your Dropbox mobile apps. In the coming months, we'll integrate some key features of Carousel into the core Dropbox app. For more details, check out our Help Center.

Thank you for using Carousel, and for all the love and feedback along the way. And more than that, thank you for letting us be part of the memories and moments you share with one another.

It's with heavy hearts that we let you know Mailbox will shut down on February 26, 2016.

Mailbox ignited a shift in mobile email and many of its innovations are now ubiquitous across the industry. It's been a great journey, and we're proud of this impact and grateful to the community that helped make it possible.

When the Mailbox team joined Dropbox in 2013, we shared a passion for simplifying the way people work together. And solving the email problem seemed like a strong complement to the challenges Dropbox was already tackling.

But as we've increased our focus on collaboration, we realized there's only so much an email app can do to fundamentally improve email. We've come to believe that the best way for us to improve people's productivity going forward is to streamline the workflows that generate so much email in the first place.

We know saying goodbye to Mailbox will be hard for many. To help make the transition to a new email client easier, we've created guides and export tools. For more information about how we'll be winding down Mailbox, please visit the Mailbox website.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring Mailbox to life, whether by spreading the word, letting us know what you liked (and didn't like), or simply using the product. You taught us so much, and we're deeply grateful.
