Time to drop Dropbox

You’ve probably been with Dropbox for a while now.

It was love at first sync. At first it was exciting, fresh and Dropbox had plenty to offer.

The thing is, over time Dropbox just didn't evolve. It's starting to look bloated and clunky. Dropbox still thinks it's cool but it's just wallpaper in your life at this point. 

Recently you’ve suspected Dropbox may not be so trustworthy. You’re not confident you can entrust them with your most valuable possessions. What does that say about your relationship? Trust is everything, after all.

But, despite the issues that have emerged, you just kinda stick with Dropbox. Because… well, who else would you choose?

It’s a relationship borne from familiarity. But you’ve outgrown, Dropbox. You just may not have realised it yet.

I really want to introduce you to a good friend of mine, Tusky. I think you guys will get along great. First off, let me give you the breakdown on why they’re so different…

Built on Walrus

When you use Dropbox your data is in the centralized cloud. Urgh. Not cool. In Tusky, your data is stored on the Walrus protocol which is coordinated by the Sui blockchain - the most bad ass L1 in town. 

Own the keys, own your data

Whatever Dropbox says about security, understand one simple fact: they own and control the keys that encrypt your data. If I sell you a car but I keep the keys, letting you access them on my terms, would you feel like you own that car? Would you feel comfortable that your car is secure? With Tusky, you control the keys. Data is end-to-end encrypted. It's so secure, even we can't see it. Neat.

Simplicity

You loved Dropbox in the beginning because it was simple. But countless redesigns and scaling to a global household name has come at a cost: feature overload and a cluttered UI has created a poor user experience. Tusky is not perfect. We’re still working on adding some new features. But everything we do is with simplicity in mind. We’d rather not cover every edge case and niche scenario, if it means compromising on building a product that’s usable by anyone regardless of their background. 

Web3 superpowers

Dropbox is web2, which means your files will only ever be their files, leased to you subject to their terms. With Tusky, built on Walrus and Sui, we turn your files into assets – valuable digital artefacts that you truly own. We'll be giving you the ability to mint those assets into NFTs on the Sui blockchain and token-gate access into your private vaults on Tusky. These tools will enable you to monetize the data you own. You're welcome.
