A little confusing:

> Connect to Dropbox or Box > > Allow us to store your photos or use your existing storage account. No pressure to decide. We make it as easy as clicking a few buttons to migrate between storage accounts. We support Dropbox, Box, Amazon S3, CX and DreamObjects.

But once I sign up, I checked under all the Settings I could find, and I don't seem to see any of these options for where to store things?



Selecting your storage is part of the signup process. A selection list that you might have overlooked?

If you have not uploaded any photos (or delete photos in your account) you can link it at the following URLs (for the popular options).

https://trovebox.com/signup/storage/dropbox

https://trovebox.com/signup/storage/s3

https://trovebox.com/signup/storage/box


I noticed and deliberately kept the "Not now" default choice. That implied I could change it later. Which the pre-sign-up text I quoted, also seemed to say.

So I was confused I couldn't find or do this, later.

(I'm not trying to give you a hard time. Just offering n%b user feedback.)


Thanks. I'm going to have a look through the site copy and see if we missed anything when we moved the "migration" option to be a PRO feature.

We do offer migration between storage providers at https://trovebox.com/migrate. It is new-ish so we don't have prominent links for this but one of our important features. You can upload 20,000 photos and then one day decide, I don't want to use Dropbox anymore.
