You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Making music remotely with others can get messy... fast, but Dropbox makes collaboration a breeze. From sharing stems and files to organizing setlists, it keeps everything in one place and accessible to your band 🙌.
Ready to streamline your next project to make it sound as sweet as can be? Let’s dive in! 💃
Organise & Share Folders for Easy Collaboration 💌
It’s easy to create a shared folder in Dropbox! You can store all your relevant files like recordings, stems, MIDI Files and project files. You can use the shared link feature or invite collaborators you can adjust the permissions(edit or view only). Using this you can ensure everyone working on the project has access to the latest versions of the files, and they can collaborate in real time without worrying about version control issues - allowing for the diva moments to be strictly about staging/styling/who chooses what dressing room etc. and not about not having access to a file 👩🎤💅.
Use our Dropbox File Requests Feature 👩💻
When collaborating with multiple musicians and producers, you can use the file request feature. This will allow all collaborators to upload files directly into your Dropbox folder, even if they don’t have a Dropbox account ( but seriously, what musician doesn't have a Dropbox?🤓) This really puts a stop to the hassle of emailing large attachments or sharing folder access 👩💻💌!
Dropbox Rewind & Version History 💫
As we know there are many different versions of a track before the finished article, Dropbox Rewind allows you to revert to earlier versions of files if necessary. This is particularly useful if you or your collaborators make changes or you want to compare multiple versions of a track. This ensures you will never lose previous iterations of your music project and EASILY undo mistakes 😌!
Solidify the Setlists
It’s difficult to get everyone in a room sometimes to organise the setlist! Use Paper to write the setlist as a team. Leave comments to say what might be a better order of songs or what would be better left out of the set altogether(without the face to face confrontation 🙈). Everyone will be on the same page and at least you won’t have to tell Dave to his face that the sad song about his ex won’t be played tonight 👀!
So, next time you’re teaming up on a project, a gig or just making music with friends for fun, let Dropbox handle the logistics so you can focus on making great music!
