URL shorteners

GGarvin

I've been a part of the Dropbox community since its launch in 2008. I love it and use it EVERYDAY.

One frustration that continues to bother me is the lack of URL shorteners. For a company as large and capable as Dropbox, I don't get it. I have to pay (Bit.ly) for my short links and it is just a pain to go outside of the Dropbox environment to do it. I cannot be the only one who has requested this over the years.

Can't you pretty please add short links to Dropbox?

Hi GGarvin,

Thanks for being part of the Dropbox Community for so long, and for continuing to share ideas with us. It’s always appreciated.

There’s already a similar idea open for community voting around URL shorteners, so rather than splitting the feedback across multiple threads, the best next step would be to add your vote and any additional use cases there. That helps keep all of the interest and context in one place.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you can find the existing idea here:
