I’m a bit late to the party here because I haven’t needed Postman for a while, but how is it okay that now we have to LOG IN TO POSTMAN and send our API requests to them for them to store on their own cloud?

    I don’t have a problem with storing my collections in the cloud behind a login anymore than I do have my company email hosted. It makes my tests accessible anywhere without having to resort to a different file sharing service like Dropbox or Drive.

      Wouldn’t it be nice to have the option to keep all that shit local though? Like there used to be?

      Here’s what I want to know: if the point is to make money, why do they need all my requests to MUST live on their server? How does that help them? There must be an answer and I want no part of it.

      That is meant for hobby devs. At work i can understand that, because if the works test data gets stolen (by possible data leak or exploit) who cares. But it is Postman just digs itself a grave with that, piece by piece.
