    @DropboxSupport What? My problem was not about camera uploads.

    @Dropbox Ending Formswift? Say it ain't so. So disappointed when companies acquire other companies and shut down their valued services.

    @peterhowell I used the original pak0.pak. I tested both Dropbox and PixelDrain hosting and tested the exact URL format from the README The app reaches "Fetching PAK" but then fails with "Could not fetch PAK URL" and a 403 error. What hosting method did you use when testing your own pak0.pak?

    @MikeJShowalter The issue is the use of the data to train models not retention. Acting as if this is the same a Dropbox is disingenuous. They will not use the data to train for non-safety issues. Non-safety issue is doing some heavy lifting there. Do they have an outline of what this means?

    @DumbMoneyCapitl That could be argued, sure. But it misses the bigger picture. The real issue isn’t whether Jim and SCS have a working Dropbox—they clearly do. The problem is that VC funds are desperately hunting for places to deploy all their capital, and businesses like this simply can’t deliver the returns those funds require because of their heavy capex profile. It’s a classic square peg in a round hole from a funding and returns standpoint.

    I'm convinced this kind of environment-setting is even more important online. The digital equivalent of swapping a cassette in a studio is stopping to go hunt down a file in Dropbox or Drive.

    Intruders spent five months inside a stock exchange executive's email, copying it out slowly and hiding in normal Dropbox and OneDrive traffic. No software flaw, so no patch could fix it. When there is nothing to patch, watching is the defense. Know what normal looks like.

    @DropboxSupport I have the same problem as Detroit Media Magazine described below - my Dropbox became unavailable until the latest update. I tried to upgrade my account, but was registered instead for a free trial - ? I have to update my email to get it authenticated - PLEASE RESPOND, thanks.

    @DropboxSupport Web is fine (Firefox on Mac); for me it is your app on iPhone that is broken - no photos upload to Camera Uploads. Error is "some photos couldn't be uploaded". I retry and it is the same.

  • BitcoinUr
    urBITCOIN (@BitcoinUr) reported

    No, no, no. You're thinking about it all wrong. A functioning file server would be a liability. If Urbit actually stored and served everyone's files reliably today, people would start using it for files. Then we'd have to make it fast. We'd have to make it redundant. We'd have to handle backups, syncing, corruption, support tickets. That's infrastructure. What we have is much more valuable. We have the *option* of being a file server. The vision of a file server. A file server-shaped hole in the future. Right now, every missing feature is proof of how early we are. Every failed upload is evidence of untapped potential. The fact that nobody can depend on it yet means the market is still entirely available. The moment it becomes a good file server, people stop asking how big it could be and start asking why it's slower than Dropbox. You don't want to be Dropbox. Dropbox has revenue. Revenue means expectations. Expectations mean accountability. Accountability kills narrative. We're building a decentralized, sovereign, peer-to-peer, identity-native, file-adjacent platform opportunity. The less it functions as a file server today, the more it can function as one tomorrow. It's a pure play.

    @p_ganong I’ve had this problem too. When I’m editing with Claude, edit manually directly in the .tex file locally on your machine through overleaf-Dropbox sync. Then you and Claude are both working locally.

    Hey @Dropbox ... Your advanced customer service is horrible! I have benefit chasing them for an important issue since more than 2 days (not counting the weekend) now and I still do not have a resolution. Is it that your reps are allowed to answer only one email per client per day??

    working on uploading, dropbox must be down bc uploads keep failing. i’ve stayed up as long as i could and i’ll try again in the morning!

    "it's just a wrapper" 😑 might be one of the laziest criticism in tech! users don't care whether you built the infrastructure. they care whether the product solves their problem. dropbox didn't invent storage. it made storage effortless. turns out making existing technology usable is a lot more valuable than many founders want to admit.

  • AdrienMatray
    Adrien Matray (@AdrienMatray) reported

    The trap: when ~/.claude/ is in Dropbox, it often seems to work. No error message. Sometimes your preferences load, sometimes they do not. The symptom is silent quality drops you cannot trace. Not a visible failure. That is why people miss it.

    Walrus 🦭 and Walrus Memory explained in a lay man's understanding. Let's dive in: 1. What is" Walrus🦭" ?? Firstly, I want you to think of Walrus as a gaint decentralised hard drive built on Sui protocol or ecosystem. Walrus is trying to become the decentralized version of cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3, but built for Web3. In a simple analogy, think of it like this; Google Drive vs Walrus With Google Drive, your files are stored on Google's servers and Google controls the storage. If Google removes a file or service, you're dependent on them. But, With Walrus🦭 it's a different case as your files are split into many pieces. Those pieces are stored across many independent storage providers in a cheap manner as no single company controls all of your data. And the most fascinating thing is as long as enough storage providers remain online, your files can be recovered whenever you want. 2. What is "Walrus memory"?? In plain English, Walrus memory is simply the storage space used to keep data on the Walrus network. That data can be:Images, Videos, Documents, NFT media, AI datasets, Website files, Backups etc. Why does it matter? Imagine a viral meme image on Sui. Normally, the blockchain only stores a reference to the image because storing the image itself would be too expensive. Most blockchains are good at storing transactions but terrible at storing large files. @WalrusProtocol is designed to store large amounts of data cheaply while remaining decentralized. ~BlazCares

    Indian Government: "We've blocked Telegram to protect the NEET exam." The Internet: So the problem was... Telegram? Not the people selling fake papers? Not the organised scam networks? Not the thousands of mule bank accounts? Not the hundreds of disposable SIM cards? Not the fake payment gateways? Not the people exploiting students' panic and desperation? Solution: Block Telegram. Meanwhile: ✅ Discord still exists. ✅ WhatsApp still exists. ✅ Signal still exists. ✅ Slack still exists. ✅ Email still exists. ✅ Google Drive still exists. ✅ Dropbox still exists. ✅ OneDrive still exists. ✅ iMessage still exists. ✅ Bluetooth still exists. ✅ AirDrop still exists. ✅ The entire web still exists. Scammers: "No problem. See you tomorrow on another platform." Meanwhile, millions of legitimate users who rely on Telegram for: College and study groups Open-source communities Cybersecurity research Software development Startups and businesses Education and learning News and information sharing are left wondering what they did wrong. The platform changes. The abuse doesn't. Target the criminals. Not the communication tools.

    @PhilipLeworthy The Android app is going to unfortunately remain on CalDAV + Dropbox sync for now. I'll be updating it to fix a few issues as well as Tablet related compatibility issues but not major features planned. It remains functional the way it is albeit with a few limitations.

    terrible rate limits, and errors when your AI of choice hits its head up against their overcomplicated block API. All problems you don't have if you knowledge base is just files! Thats why we've started building Treehouse, its basically Notion + Dropbox combined with loads ...

    Setting 4: Kill background login items. Open System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions. Look under "Allow in the Background." You'll see 15 to 40 items running constantly. Dropbox helpers. Google updaters. Microsoft Teams. Adobe Creative Cloud. Toggle off anything you don't use every day.

    8/ The settings on your own devices that are silently eating bandwidth. Even with a great router, fast DNS, and honest ISP speeds, your devices may be consuming bandwidth you didn't authorize. Common culprits: On your phone: 1. iCloud/Google Photos backup set to sync constantly (not just on Wi-Fi) 2. App updates downloading in the background 3. "Wi-Fi Assist" on iPhone (silently switches to cellular and back, disrupting connections) On your laptop: 1. Cloud sync services (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive) uploading constantly 2. Windows/macOS pushing system updates during peak hours 3. Browser tabs running in background consuming bandwidth with auto-refresh On your smart TV: 4. Firmware updates downloading during prime streaming time 5. Multiple streaming apps running in background 6. ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) sending screenshots to servers every 15-60 seconds On IoT devices: 1. Smart cameras uploading video 24/7 2. Smart speakers maintaining constant server connections 3. Smart home hubs polling every device every few seconds She audited every device on her network. Twelve devices were consuming bandwidth she didn't know about. Three of them were using more data than her actual streaming.

    Google, Dropbox, and Apple are in trouble.. Someone open-source a tool that gives you unlimited cloud storage for free by using Telegram as the backend. Just log in with your Telegram ID and start uploading. → UNLIMITED storage → NO file size limits → NO subscription → NO credit card → Login in 3 seconds Google charges $120/year for 2TB. Dropbox charges $144. Apple charges $120. Telegram has been giving away infinity this whole time and you didn't know. Nobody can shut this down. 100% Open Source.

    @freekmurze It's the most stable beta in last 15 years. These apps I also use still work: Dropbox, PHP, Conductor. I did not encounter any issues, besides sometimes a lag here and there (regular beta stuff).

    Running a record label in 2026 is pure chaos: spreadsheets, Dropbox, endless emails. We built Blackbox RMS to fix it. One desktop app for releases, artists, contracts, promo & royalties. Built by a label, for labels. Link in bio. What's your biggest headache? 👇
