Dropbox has redesigned their aesthetic and has introduced much more colour than its previous white and blue. The new look also includes an updated box logo that has a flatter, more modern, look that looks more abstract and less like an actual box.
This is Dropbox’s first major revamp in 10 years and the redesign will set them apart from their competitors such as Box, Google Drive and iCloud — who all use some version of blue in their logos.
The update also includes a new typeface called Sharp Grotesk which will also enhance the new look as a modern and fresh file sharing platform.
Dropbox is saying the new colour combination will help them stand out among the crowd of file-sharing services, as well as give a nod to the creativity of their users. They say the new look is closer to Adobe now than to Microsoft OneDrive.
Though the logo is new, most of the web and app user interface remains visually similar — with mostly white with blue and grey accents. The new colour combinations are most likely to be seen on marketing campaigns and ads than actual interface changes.

In the meantime, you can sign up to be notified regarding its launch or try the beta version called Version 57. Firefox Quantum is the most important release for the organisation in years. It’s the culmination of years of work on many of the moving pieces that a user never sees but that allows the browser to quickly display your email inbox, Youtube or blog page. The new version is said to have many new and improved features that will make the browser worth installing once again. Features include: The most popular browser today is Chrome due to its speed and simplicity. Up until around 2011, Firefox was one of the most popular browsers but since then have yet to release a version that can compete with Chrome. The new Firefox Quantum is now said to be worth revisiting the old favourite so it might be worth having a look to see if it’s the browser for you.

The first mass consumer online messaging platform, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) will discontinue their services as of 15 December 2017. AIM was the first online experience of it’s kind for an entire generation and they never capitalised on it. It’s sort of an end of an era, especially for those of us who grew up in the 90’s. Nowadays, AIM has fallen in favour with the newer and flashier services on our smartphones like SnapChat, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. You can continue to use AIM up until 15 December, but after this date, access will cease and all data will be deleted. If you use AIM, be sure to save any data that you may want to keep before this date. If you use an aim.com email address your email account will not be affected and you will still be able to send/receive email as normal even after the 15 December.
