Collections in lightweight client
community.postman.com
In regards to the topic that has been closed recently: Collections not displayed after update - #8 by danny-dainton So how exactly does one use collections now for people who literally can’t connect the postman client to an account (login = literally impossible)? Exporting my settings is all well and good, but the other side of the equation is missing. And in regards to the banner announcing the changes, is it possible that this banner was not displayed due to the nature of the environment? S...

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.
