And in addition to Shop, Dropbox launched a service (Capture) to collect screenshots, screen recordings, gifs, and audio files.Epic Games, which makes Fortnite, bought Bandcamp to expand its creator marketplace capabilities.Shopify, the leader in ecommerce platforms, launched a link-in-bio tool aimed at creators.And many of these software tools are converging in ecommerce. This is where Dropbox Shop is entering.Ĭreator software is fragmented.
