Today we are proud to announce three major additions to MyShoebox:

• Shared Galleries: collaboratively build galleries with friends and family
• Dedicated iPad app
• New mobile apps to explore your photo collection

While on vacation or at a wedding, the best photos are often taken by a friend or family member. When we get home we start the difficult process of swapping photos, and too often resort to trading SD cards, burning DVDs or sending photos by email. With MyShoebox Shared Galleries your friends and family can contribute to an automatically organized gallery. Photos can be added from the web or any of our apps; you’re not limited to just mobile apps. Everyone can contribute no matter what camera they used. Best of all - shared galleries can be seamlessly integrated with the rest of your MyShoebox collection.

I recently took a trip to Peru with six friends and after I got back, everyone drove to my house where we spent 3 hours swapping thousands of photos. The sad thing is most of us are software engineers and we couldn’t find a better way. Between the galleries I’ve created for my Peru vacation, my wedding and a few others with family, my photo collection has doubled in size with photos that never would have made it into my collection otherwise.

On top of the new features, MyShoebox allows you to:

• Unify your photo collection with apps for every major platform
• Keep all your photos safe, private and secure with unlimited free cloud storage
• Instantly access your entire photo collection from your phone, iPad or the web
• Automatically organize your photos and browse by event, camera, location and more
• Rediscover memories with automatic curation and search

We hope you like the update! If you have any feedback we’d love to hear it at support@shoeboxapp.com.

Today we’re happy to announce MyShoebox Time Travel. Time Travel automatically finds the top events of your life, the places you have traveled, the cameras you’ve owned and creates an interactive infographic of your life. When a photo catches your eye you can simply click to explore photos from that period.

As each year passes we are taking more and more photos and yet it requires so much effort to explore the photos we’ve taken. MyShoebox provides unlimited free cloud backup across your devices while Time Travel extracts the best content from your collection.

Time Travel make it easy to explore:

• Top events of your life
• All the places you have traveled
• The cameras you’ve owned over the years
• The seasons and times when you take the most photos

Time travel makes it easy to get lost in old photos of family, friends and vacations. Download MyShoebox for Mac, Windows, iOS or Android to start rediscovering your photo collection.

Have fun exploring,
The MyShoebox Team
