Private drawings only on paid accounts?

We just started a thread on our forum about whether we should allow only paid accounts to have private drawings, and make all drawings in free accounts public. Please visit the forum and voice your views there.

    From my perspective, it stands to reason that if it’s important to you to keep a good-sized library of private drawings online, you should be willing to pay for the storage space.

    • Derakon Says:

      That’s a reasonable stance. Perhaps the free accounts could have only a very limited number of private drawings, like one or two?

      • Zohair Says:

        Derakon, if we allowed just 1 or 2 private drawings, that could get confusing for the user, who might mistake a public drawing for a private one. It’s simpler to have either all private or none private.

    This great utility should be also enabled for corporate confidential collaboration. I am sure corporate users would be interested in paying a fee for unlimited PRIVATE drawings. I only suggest to be able to disable “Make public” for a lead account on other accounts.

    Hi,

    Thanks for Dabbleboard!
    I think that people prefer keeping their drawings private,
    at least by default,
    even if they can only draw 1 or 2 drawings total
    on the whiteboard.

    Perhaps, the free version can be ad supported?
    With text ads like Google?
    Or if necessary, even with banner ads?

    If drawings that people didn’t realize would be made public,
    were suddenly made public,
    I think users could become very unhappy.

    Anyways, please consider an ad supported version
    to help defray your costs.

    And even if you only one 1 or 2 drawings total for
    the free account, please keep the drawings private
    by default. Some private ideas i’m sure have been
    discussed on these whiteboards.

    Thanks,
    Wes
