Community ManagerHow to save Showcase content
Hi everyone,
We’ve had some users looking for a way to save content from Showcase. We wanted to share some workarounds to help anyone experiencing this.
To save and share the contents...
Hi Emma
May I PLEASE request dropbox enable an easy download option for the COMPLETE contents of the existing showcases you are planning to delete. Saving the images as described above is one thing, but the included formatting and associated word content is essential to their usefulness for us. I feel like these showcases are a creation of ours that is being taken away with no option to keep - it doesn't seem right?
Perhaps I am missing something?
Thanks very much.
You are not. They seem oblivious to the fact that this is a serious challenge to some of their users. I have created 60+ showcases with photographic short stories since I discovered the feature. Those do not represent content, they ARE the content.
As I've stated before I get why they want to get rid of that feature. But I can't rely on them if they start drop services like Google does.
The proper way to do it would be to offer tools for migrating the content to other platforms. The least I expect is to offer a download option so I can rebuild without working against the clock.
