They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and who’s to argue … but if so what are a hundred photographs worth? With a hundred photos you can really tell a story — but there’s only one way to do it. Not in an online gallery — that’s a data dump, not a story. Not on a thumb drive — a data dump in a drawer!

OK, we just removed the data storage limits from our top Workspace plan … but we're not in the Storage business, we're in the Usage business!
