“Delete Your Dropbox.” Sounds extreme until you realize how much of your life sits on someone else’s server, quietly monitored, limited, and one policy change away from disappearing. This isn’t just a challenge. It’s a wake-up call. The idea is simple: 24 hours. Move your files out of centralized storage and into the BitTorrent ecosystem. No gatekeepers. No single point of failure. Just your data, distributed across a network that doesn’t need permission to exist. We turn it into a movement. A live leaderboard tracking how much data people “liberate” from traditional cloud silos. A real-time counter ticking upward gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes each number representing users taking back control. Not just deleting accounts, but changing how they think about ownership. Because that’s what this is really about. Centralized platforms trade convenience for control. They decide uptime, access, even what’s allowed to exist. The BitTorrent ecosystem flips that model. Your files don’t sit in one place waiting to fail they live everywhere, secured by participation, not policy. So yeah, delete your Dropbox or don’t. But understand the difference. One system rents you space. The other gives you sovereignty. And once you see that, it’s hard to go back. @BitTorrent @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

@brycent Apple already has this in every phone and mac. Can't imagine that @Dropbox etc aren't going to hit this soon. It's a trivial problem to solve. Technically it's already solved even by YouTube.

@senatorshoshana Just think it through. No admin. Read only access to your data. Dropbox-style writes only. It's not hard to lock it down, you just need to be thorough.

@SergeiShiryayev Hi Sergei, thanks for writing in. Are you downloading the file immediately, after renaming it? There could be a slight delay in the server updating the file's index, so you'll need to refresh it first. For better accuracy, you can rename the files using the Dropbox app, instead.

Let me explain what just happened… An AI just launched that eliminates all marketing jobs. Not some of them. All of them. SEO. Social media. Content writing. Ad creation. Brand design. Pitch decks. Community management. Reddit posts. Email campaigns. All of it. A marketing team costs $200K to $500K a year. An agency costs $10K to $20K a month. A freelance designer charges $5K per project. This does all of it. Every single function. For almost nothing. Backed by General Catalyst. Jeffrey Katzenberg. Executives from Dropbox, Stripe, and Google. $7.5 million in funding. Thousands already using it. And it has an API. Meaning other AI agents feed it work automatically. AI writes the copy. AI designs the assets. AI posts it. AI optimizes it. No human ever touches it. A full marketing department. End to end. Automated. A week ago AI replaced coders. Before that writers. Before that customer service. Now every marketing job. All at once. From one launch. Every single week another AI drops and another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing down. It’s speeding up…

Notion’s homepage doesn’t start with features. It starts with chaos. A cartoon of people drowning in tools. Google Docs. Quip. Jira. Evernote. Trello. Confluence. Dropbox Paper. Eight logos piled on top of each other like a mess on your desk. Then one calm line: “With Notion, all your work is in one place.” No feature grid. No “powered by AI.” No “trusted by 10,000 teams.” Just: here’s your mess. We clean it up. They didn’t trash competitors. They named them. The pile IS the argument. Drift did this too. Called out forms as the “old way” right on their homepage. Basecamp painted projects spiraling into chaos. Churnbuster showed you every failed fix you already tried. Same playbook: diagnose before you prescribe. If your homepage jumps straight to features, you’re skipping the part where your visitor goes “that’s exactly my problem.” Most founders sell the destination. The best ones describe the traffic jam you’re stuck in right now. Day 45 — Problem-First Homepage Copy Follow for a new distribution strategy every day

@jenvanlaar @Hounsizzle It's valuable currency. The outer envelope is where you sign the affidavit. How would you catch a culprit ? That is the problem we face. Did you hear of anyone stuffing a Dropbox get prosecuted, despite the numerous videos catching them in the action?

Something interesting happened today. I was on my way to meet a client, walking down the street, when I realized something. The document I needed to send them was still sitting on my laptop at home. Not in Google Drive. Not in Dropbox. Just a file on my computer. Normally that means one thing: You apologize, say you’ll send it later, and fix it when you get back to your desk. But this time I tried something different. I pulled out my phone and texted Claude. I basically said: “Open the document on my computer, update the section we discussed yesterday, export it as a PDF, and send it to the client.” And then I kept walking. Claude opened the file on my Mac at home, made the update, exported the PDF, and sent it. By the time I arrived to meet the client, the document was already in their inbox. No remote desktop. No complicated setup. Just a message from my phone. This is a new feature called Dispatch inside Claude Cowork. You send an instruction from your phone and Claude operates your computer for you. It can open apps, navigate your browser, work inside spreadsheets, move files around, and notify you when it’s done. Your computer still needs to stay on. But you don’t need to be at it. Claude asks permission before accessing any new app, so you stay in control and can stop it anytime. But the real shift here is bigger than the feature itself. We’re moving from assistants that answer questions to assistants that actually execute work. And honestly, this feels like the OpenCLAW moment for everyone. Not for developers. Not for power users. For anyone. You just text what you want done, and your computer does it. It’s currently available in research preview for Pro and Max subscribers on macOS.

Let me break this down. An AI just launched that replaces every marketing job. Not some. All of them. SEO. Social media. Content. Ads. Branding. Pitch decks. Community management. Reddit posts. Email campaigns. Everything. A marketing team costs $200K–$500K a year. Agencies charge $10K–$20K a month. Freelancers $5K per project. This AI does all of it—for almost nothing. Backed by General Catalyst, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and execs from Dropbox, Stripe, Google. $7.5M in funding. Thousands already using it. It has an API. Other AI agents feed it work automatically. Copy is written, assets designed, posts scheduled, campaigns optimized. No humans required. A full marketing department, end to end. Automated. A week ago AI replaced coders. Then writers. Customer service. Now marketing. All at once. With one launch. Every week another AI drops. Another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing. It’s accelerating.

I solved a huge marketing and social pain point with AI. The team connects their Google Drive and Dropbox. Claude then recreates a much lighter thumbnail for speed of loads. Gemini indexes every photo and tags: Style Colors People Products Props Provides a two line summary of what is happening. The photos get bucketed. This runs every 4 hours for new photos added. Now: Anyone can say “Show me our X product on a flat lay” or “Someone holding X product” They just appear. Our ad team, social team, and email teams can surface the exact photos they need within seconds. No more file structure issues. Weird names. Losing huge photo sets. Having to remember anything. I’m using Gemini 2.0-Flash. Costs you a couple dollars for 10,000 photos.

Shadow IT used to mean employees running Dropbox without IT approval. Now it means employees running AI agents that have access to customer data, email, and internal systems. Same problem, different stakes. The liability exposure is not comparable.

Muhammad Usaid
(@MuhammadUs12678) reported
Spent way too long figuring out why my skills folder kept breaking when I switched between machines. The fix was so obvious I felt stupid. Here's the problem. If you're using an external drive to move your AntiGravity skills folder between a desktop and laptop the drive letter changes every time. F: on your desktop. D: on your laptop. AntiGravity can't find the path. Skills stop loading. Your entire setup breaks and you spend an hour wondering what you did wrong. The fix is two steps. First move your skills folder to Google Drive or Dropbox. Not the external drive. The cloud. Second create a Symbolic Link on both machines. A Symlink makes a local C:\Skills folder that points directly to your cloud folder behind the scenes. AntiGravity always sees C:\Skills. Clean. Consistent. Never breaks. But the actual data lives in the cloud and syncs automatically between every machine you own. No plugging in drives. No broken paths. No "why is this not loading" moments at 11pm before a client call. Your brain travels with you now. Not with your hardware

@nejatian based on recent personal experience, a switch to Form Simplicity or Docusign rather than Dropbox for signing closing forms would be welcome. Dropbox has terrible mobile interface when signing digitally. @Opendoor $open

@rumevideo Built a full end-to-end video stack from scratch. Ex-Google and ex-Dropbox engineers enabled spatial audio, simultaneous conversation rooms, and seamless group transitions. Impossible with off-the-shelf APIs like Zoom or Twilio. Technical moat was real, but insufficient for sustainability. Shut down after ~2 years due to: - Timing: Launched in pandemic peak, lost steam post-lockdown as in-person returned. - Network effects: Social video needs critical mass to stick. - Monetization: Unclear path vs. free alternatives or ad-supported models. Lesson for operators: Vertical integration wins features, not business moats alone. #AI

@imtiaznabi_ @abhijitwt Verified: All claims check out. AWS uses Rust for Nitro/Enclaves. Microsoft is migrating core Windows/Azure/C++ to it. Google cut Android memory vulns with Rust. Cloudflare rebuilt proxies in Rust. Discord switched perf services from Go. Dropbox rewrote backend/client parts. Figma uses it for multiplayer/server/canvas. Solana/Polkadot/NEAR/Aptos/Sui all center Rust for runtimes/programs/SDKs. The post's solid but overhypes "everyone's doing it" as if Rust fixes all. It excels for safety/performance-critical code—not your average CRUD app. Nothing's stopping you if it fits your stack; otherwise, no shame in skipping the borrow checker bootcamp.

@anvisha The breakdown to see what this really means, An AI just launched that eliminates all marketing jobs. Not some of them. All of them. SEO. Social media. Content writing. Ad creation. Brand design. Pitch decks. Community management. Reddit posts. Email campaigns. All of it. All these jobs are going away. A marketing team costs $200K to $500K a year. An agency costs $10K to $20K a month. A freelance designer charges $5K per project. This does all of it. Every single function. For almost nothing. Like 10% of the cost. Backed by General Catalyst.

AI writes the copy. AI designs the assets. AI posts it. AI optimizes it. No human ever touches it. It just gets better and better with time and eventually the curve will be even tough for humans to read. A full marketing department. End to end. Automated. A week ago AI replaced coders. Before that writers. Before that customer service. Now every marketing job. All at once. From one launch. Just one AI as of now. Every single week another AI drops and another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing down. It’s speeding up You are less relevant with each passing minute.

Yes, every time you pay that bill, let the anger be a prompt to install tailscale lol. That's what I do because I have wasted a small fortune on useless subs. Now I can login to all my private devices, vpn through my NAS. Who needs dropbox when your files are available everywhere? Time machine works from your hotel in another city. No blocking of API calls. All free.

Computer vision deployments for enterprises used to take 6-12 months, juggling five tools (labeling, data management, training, cloud hosting, edge deployment), thousands of lines of custom Python glue code, and dedicated ML/DevOps teams. General tools like Dropbox caused "million paper cuts": poor tracking of images/annotations, high preprocessing/training costs. CV stayed trapped in research labs, out of reach for small teams. Inaction costs: manufacturers lose millions to undetected defects (one ag equipment maker saved $8M/facility post-adoption); 3,000+ hours annual unplanned downtime from preventable failures; 50%+ customer returns from quality issues; 6-12 month projects while competitors launch in days. Visual AI unlocks programming the physical world and value from passive video feeds. #AI

PlayerZero just dropped their Engineering World Model and it's kinda insane $20M from matei zaharia (databricks), guillermo (vercel), dylan (figma), drew (dropbox) + Foundation Capital the problem: debugging is chaos because nobody has the full picture. support sees tickets, sre sees infra, devs see code. everything's fragmented. playerzero connects it all slack threads, PR reviews, CI/CD, observability, support tickets, incidents — into one context graph so when **** breaks you don't scramble. you just know. plus it learns from every incident. gets smarter about which code breaks, which configs are fragile, which changes affect what zuora, georgia-pacific, nylas → 90% faster bug resolution, catching 95% of issues before **** they guarantee 20% more engineering bandwidth in a week or they donate $10k to open source if you're sick of spending half your time hunting bugs instead of shipping, check this out
