ISSUU like native viewer for books

ISSUU like native viewer for books

Hey there!

 

Providing my years on dropbox and the fact that our main purpose is to produce books on arts, architectura & landscape, I think DB should have a native viewer, probably based on some arrangement with ISSUU or any other kinda a booklike online viewers thay allow us to showcase our work online.

 

The apps available charge a lot for these and I assume a big part of that is for their own cloud/storage that saves any pdf to be available when someone asks to see it. Hence I think that is not crazy to profit from our own DB Plan and save part of the money, don´t you agree?

 

Yours,

 

Nicolas.

Hi @Nicostoria, thanks for this suggestion!

 

Could you clarify what you mean by a native book viewer?

 

What file formats do you recommend Dropbox support for viewing on the site? Would this only for the site, or for the mobile app as well?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hey Jay! Tkx for your quick response, here we go!

I usually use issuu to showcase my PDFs, since they are books and this helps reaching the whole world, but nowadays issuu (and other optiones) have become as expensive as dropbox, hence my idea of asking why not having something similar as an add-on —not free of charge of course—, since some development should be needed, but definately cheaper than adding  another suscription providing that the cloud ir already payed.

 

Hoping to be clear enough!

 

Yours,

 

Nicolas.
