XI. New Business
A. Dropbox Replacement
Gavin Northey, MBA, SNS
Several board members report the Dropbox account does not work. Upon further investigation, AKSNA will need to purchase every board member a Dropbox license to maintain the account as-is.
If we replace the current email system (Zoho) and Dropbox for a single solution for file storage and email, this would reduce the total cost. The two best solutions are Google and Microsoft 365.
