Get everybody involved

Imagine all of your recipes together with all of your family and friends’ delicious recipes—in one place:

Uncle Jerome’s homemade sourdough. Your mom’s coffee cake. And every standout brownie or coffee whip you can muster.

Ask everyone to submit their best work and share it in Dropbox. Not only will you have everyone’s greatest hits in one place, they will, too. 

No more emailing, texting, and then losing track of something delicious. You’ll all be able to call up your favorites whenever a craving strikes. And if you took pics or videos of your own culinary experiments along the way but they’re scattered throughout Facebook, no problem: you can now transfer your photos and videos to Dropbox in just a few clicks.
