In addition to desktop PCs and laptops, "huge storage" combined with all storage capacities of all terminals that users can use, such as smartphones, NAS, online cloud storage represented by Dropbox, is virtually set on the cloud It is a service that makes it possible to reproduce and directly access all data from client terminals participating in the network.

It is clear that this service "Infinite" is conscious of Infinit because it is not only almost the same as Infinit's storage consolidation service, but also because naming also added "e" to the end.

For this action of Dropbox, Infinit announced that it will start a new project "Dropboxe" with "e" at the end of Dropbox. The new project Dropboxe is an intentional indication of "irony" with a strong irony on Dropbox, as there is no addition of novel features that were not found in the traditional Infinit storage consolidation service.

Infinit's Gaëtan Rochel said in an official blog, "Sorry, Dropbox. I could not put up with it, but for me (Infinite), similar to the service that we have built over the past few years, I am honored that you decided to use their names. "
