@GadSaad @X There's a major issue with caching and partial uploads. This is a long ago solved issue @nikitabier and you guys may just want to hire out of Dropbox or Vimeo or the like someone who's handled uploads. Ditto caching long posts. Google Docs doesn't freeze and crash when you try to edit a sentence but android X does regularly. These are, respectfully, basic functions in 2026 and fixable in a week by 2-3 solid engineers.

@DropboxSupport December last year I had to do a new login to access a shared file from a business partner. Since then I have been unable to find my original dropbox account. What could’ve happened and how can I find my old Dropbox account?

@joachim_voth Don't have that problem. If someone edits a file you both have open via dropbox, say, you get a notice in LyX and are given an option to update your local view with it, or you can continue, save or save-as. That way nothing ever gets deleted without the user agreeing to it. Of course, this is just helpful to avoid overwrites, but it is not actually meant for co-editing on the same file. True, we don't have that feature. But I don't value that that much: if we want to edit on different sections at the same time, we coordinate on separate files. If we want to stare at the same paragraph and write together, we just screen share. Sure, it wouldn't be bad to have a LyX online like overleaf, but the tradeoff is still favorable. Also, the track changes feature and LyX notes work really great.

@Hasindu2008 @bonson_wong Thank you. The biggest problem is I did not make an index file for the blow5 files on Dropbox, which was dumb in hindsight. I guess it cannot work without an index.

@oboobotenefiok The Path: The file goes straight from your "Door" to your friend's "Door." No middleman (Google/Dropbox), no detours, just speed. It’s built in Rust. Rust acts like a smart assistant that prevents crashes and data leaks by forcing you to fix errors before the app even runs.

@pmddomingos Problem is clownfart and his tarrif tantrums. We can't risk to get blackmailed with Merican tech. I personally switched to non merican software for my business. It's cheeper and much! more powerful software in my case. I only need to find a solution for Dropbox.

A messy database is just expensive digital clutter. If you can’t find your client's last contract in 30 seconds, your system is broken. I specialize in 'Digital Deep Cleans'—organizing your Google Drive/Dropbox so everything is exactly where it should be.

@TheStalwart @Havelock_AI I wouldn’t make this a power issue. I personally do software development both using *** and inside a Dropbox-synced folder. iCloud is probably enough but Dropbox lets you roll back to specific timestamps. Anything with continual backups should be good.

Maybe Robert was just stealing from my dropbox and Dan was the person that restricted me. It is impossible to guess how those crooks are bullying me. I know they are lying and I didn't owe them anything. They knew what they were doing. They are terrible.

Signed + expiring URLs are elite. Because one customer sharing a link shouldn’t turn into a thousand freeloaders. Bonus points: host files on S3 / Google Cloud / Dropbox for private links + better security + less server pain.

Hard truths: - Supabase team is fundamentally worse at databases than Convex team (founders built and scaled Dropbox) - Your app DB should not also be your analytics DB - "CRUD with straightforward data relationships" is the ONLY way I would use Supabase - You're using an ORM anyways, the SQL point is moot (but your ORM is worse than Convex's minimal SDK) - Convex is "just typescript", so your agent already knows it. Supabase SDK is...not - Convex's state lives entirely in your codebase. Really good for agents. Supabase state lives in Supabase, requiring an MCP and a bunch of weird tool calls to make agents work with it - Supabase's connection pooling is not great, breaks down under even medium load from a basic serverless app - Supabase's edge functions are actual garbage and cause 10x the problems that they solve I've been so kind to Supabase over the years. I told them to cut the ****. I'm disappointed that they doubled down instead. I will no longer be holding back. I genuinely cannot recommend building on Supabase at this time.

Microsoft's first Windows 11 update of 2026 has been a mess. An emergency fix addressed January 2026 shutdowns, but a second out-of-band patch targets OneDrive and Dropbox crashes. The company is also investigating boot failures possibly tied to January 2026 security update.

@DerekNee The Mac Mini farm is giving early Dropbox vibes when they had entire racks of actual hard drives in a warehouse. Sometimes the most advanced tech still needs the most basic infrastructure. What's wild is you're probably solving the coordination problem that everyone's ignoring while they hype individual agents.

@seobinim @fukusanity The post describes a user whose Dropbox account was banned for violating policies, blocking access to stored data like PhD research, photos, and audio files. Dropbox's terms allow account disabling for issues like abusive behavior or illegal content, with no guaranteed data retrieval. Support inquiries are often ignored, but you can try appealing via their help center. Similar complaints appear on forums like Reddit.

@WalrusProtocol Why It’s Faster and Cheaper Than the Competition Let’s be real with ourselves. People have been talking about a "decentralized Dropbox" since 2017. Why aren't we all using one yet? Simple answer: They have mostly been too slow and too expensive compared to just using Google Drive. Early crypto storage protocols tried to secure data using "replication"—just making huge, full copies of files and scattering them around servers. That works for security, but it’s horribly inefficient. It’s like buying five houses just to make sure you always have a place to sleep. Walrus ($WAL) changes the math entirely. Walrus doesn't just copy files. It uses advanced Erasure Coding. Imagine taking a file, breaking it down into 20 small, mathematically unique shards, and scattering them globally. The magic is that to rebuild the file perfectly, you don't need all 20 shards. You might only need any 10 of them. #walrus $WAL

4. Dropbox: "A Feature, Not a Product" This is the famous line Steve Jobs told Dropbox founder Drew Houston when he tried to acquire the company. When Houston turned him down, Jobs told him Apple would destroy them. The Low Point: Early on, investors struggled to understand the business model. Many thought file-sharing would eventually be a tiny built-in feature of operating systems (like iCloud or Google Drive). The Skepticism: People found the idea of a "cloud folder" redundant, as they were still using USB sticks and emailing files to themselves. The Breakthrough: Dropbox won on simplicity. They used a brilliant referral loop (giving away free storage for inviting friends) that led to viral growth, proving that a dedicated "feature" could indeed become a massive standalone business.

@BACHOPPEDOBAMA @BuzzingPop The 2021 Dropbox hack leaked unreleased demos of "Hurts Like Hell," including Offset's vocals, potentially sparking copyright or clearance disputes. This might prompt labels to remove the track to avoid legal issues, though exact details on the 2026 pull remain unclear. Check official updates for more.

I guess slow5curl cannot work without an index. So, I guess I should just download the whole blow5s, make indices, upload them, & have for the future

Claude Code/Codex are WAY more effective if you use *** But you don't need need to "know" *** to use *** with CC here's what you need to know and how to use ***: > commit is "save" > branch is a way better way of doing "final_analysis_revision_78.do" > push is "sync to Dropbox so my coauthor can see the changes" > set up gh (github cli) with gh auth login so CC can push to github private repos that's basically it. just tell Claude Code to commit, make new branches, and push, and now you basically have automatically adopted 80% of software engineering best practices
