It seemed like having everything under one system made the most sense.ĭropbox’s approach to product design aligns perfectly with our values at Unsplash. Besides, we’d already been hosting our design files with Dropbox all while using an alternative platform to write our project scopes. When Dropbox Paper announced early access for its newest project, we were eager to try it out. Using Dropbox Paper to focus on the work, not the toolĭesigners are always itching to try the latest tools. And while we’ve moved on from our frugal ways of hosting photos on a public Dropbox folder (hey, we would if we could), we still rely on Dropbox for running our day-to-day. What used to be 10 photos by 1 photographer is now a library of more than 850,000+ photos by over 120,000+ contributors. It’s been five years since we launched Unsplash. And if it wasn’t for the good people at, you guessed it, Dropbox, who knows if Unsplash would’ve survived the afternoon. We figured if only a handful of people could find Unsplash useful, it’d be worth it.īut a handful grew to a few thousand real quick (50,000 to be exact). After all, it was a quick afternoon project. Every time you downloaded a photo on our site, we’d redirect you to the high-resolution photo… hosted on a public Dropbox folder.ĭropbox wasn’t exactly aware of what we were doing.
The premise was simple: To release 10 free photos every 10 days.
