Founded in March 2012, Shoebox is a service that provides unlimited online photo backup. It scans a user s entire offline photo collection, uploads it to cloud storage and applies organization algorithms metropolitan to automatically categorize pics and provide different ways of viewing metropolitan them.
The startup was created by Couch Labs Inc in Toronto to simplify photo collections and backup in a world where almost every device has a built in camera. “Shoebox s strength is in getting the pictures from storage and sources that aren t connected, to the web, as quickly and painlessly as possible,” wrote the company.
My favorite new feature is that the lock screen on Android becomes a rotating gallery of all your old photos, CEO Steve Cosman told Techcrunch. We ve been basically focusing on how to get people to actually […] come back and look at their old photos, how to get them to re-engage with photos they took eight years ago. Getting 20,000 photos is a lot easier than getting people to actually use their old photos.
The company will certainly have Dropbox to compete with, as Etherington alluded to the Silicon Valley-based mega startup’s new “Carousel” feature that acts as a a photo and video archive and sharing platform. However, “Cosman says they re very happy with the revenue being generated by their current paid offering (unlimited web resolution backups are free, but full res will cost you a monthly subscription) and they re focused on differentiating through features like the kind of discovery profiled above.”
