Today, we began notifying Cubby users and customers of the decision to retire Cubby, our file sync & share offering. Since its debut in 2013, Cubby has provided a unique file sharing experience for millions of individuals and businesses and this difficult decision was made after much deliberation and consideration.
LogMeIn’s long-term investment strategy is focused on three key technology markets — Collaboration, Identity & Access Management, and Customer Support & Engagement – and we are aligning our product development efforts accordingly to best serve our customers rapidly evolving needs. With such focus comes tough decisions around the future of products that don’t fully align with our strategy, and after careful consideration and evaluation, we have reached the difficult, but none-the-less important, decision to discontinue Cubby.
Our users are our top priority and chief concern with this change, and we are taking steps we believe will help existing Cubby users safely and securely migrate to alternative cloud-based offerings, whether to LogMeIn or other trusted companies.
Cubby Free users will be given until November 16th to migrate away from Cubby, and can choose to move to another free service – LogMeIn is recommending Dropbox and OneDrive – or a paid service, including LogMeIn Pro. Cubby Pro and Enterprise customers will continue to have full access to Cubby, both their files and full product functionality, through their account’s expiration date plus an additional 30 days to allow more time to evaluate options and complete the migration of their files.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to move your files out of Cubby and into another service like Dropbox.
We understand that with any change comes questions and potentially concerns. Here are a few FAQs to explain what we anticipate will be the most common questions for our users:
