New Poll for File Distribution

Jeff Neely

Its simple: MMF seems to be the one place almost every STL creator is gravitating to. Yes, their UI needs improvement. But, nearly every STL patreon I subscribe to is now on there, and many Kickstarters are heading there too.

Nancy Hutchins

Thank you :-)

No Problem, MMF is common shorthand for myminifactory.com while DTRPG refers to drivethrurpg.com

Nancy Hutchins

I am sorry I do not know what MMF is . . .

John McCaskill

I dont care for MMF. It gives me noting but problems.

Mike Stickler

because it's only a matter of time before amazon looks at 3d file distribution (can't be any harder than e-books).

Chris Hurst

I didn't actually realise that they were being delivered to drivethrurpg and it's actually pretty cool now I have gone and looked at it. I'd actually be happy with either that or MMF but the advantage of MMF is that everyone else I am subscribed to uses it. Why all the concerns about MMF availability in the future?

Hunter Mayer

I will say my favorite 3D file management portal is https://www.printablescenery.com/ They get it. Gamescape3d site is good too. MMF is garbage. I don't trust my files will be accessible in the future. Where DTRPG gives me a bit more warm fuzzy and the desktop app on DTRPG makes me NEVER worry about getting the files once I get them into my cart and checked out. I just kick off the download every once in a while.

Hunter Mayer

Oh you hit the nail on the head with MMF it is garbage when you get a lot of projects. Things aren't clearly labeled. I get redemption notices and its almost impossible to tell what something is because creators don't use descriptive names... I have 3 identical projects that list as "Files", I say "Fails", there is not best practice there letting me know WHAT files???. Ad Blocker actually lets me see what I am looking for. The other thing I like about DTRPG is their desktop client. I am not worried about having a local copy that is up to date. I just run the app and get latest now and again.

the UI at drivethru kills me, its just difficult in general to use. MMF isn't great, but its certainly a ton better and the fact that literally all of my other patreon's have moved to MMF fulfillment, this is a no brainer for me.

Kristin Chernoff

For me it's the download speed. MMF has limited bandwidth (unless you subscribe $$), crappy search engine, files can not be sorted in any way, shape or form. They won't even do creator alphabetization! Everything piles in one of 2 places in order of "redemption". Just sad. I've been using Gamescape3d.com for this place. DTRPG is a good backup for me.

Lisa Kellogg

I have accounts in mmf, your website and drive thru so any of them works for me

Ryan Smith

I like all 4 options, in the day of cloud computing I have found you can never have too many backups! I understand this could be a headache to manage though

Ramiro Carrasco Jr.

DTRPG is good as is MMF. I'm glad to hear about your products being used by others. That's good all the way around.

Richard Sorden

+1 for the DTRPG sync app. That's the ultimate feature out of all the other options listed!

I'd trust DTRPG to still exist in 10 years... not so sure about the others.

Douglas Rector

I prefer Drive thru because I already have so much stuff there and they have the app so I can sync all of it to my hard drive without having to worry about it at all. MMF is fine and I use it, but please keep DTR
