  I re-uploaded videos to Dropbox. Everybody has 24 hours to download before I take them down to remedy Dropbox deleting them.

  @SuiNetwork @thewalrus @WalrusProtocol Every file you store on Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud — Google owns the server. Google can delete it. Google can go down. Walrus changes that. It's a decentralized storage protocol built by Mysten Labs, where your data lives across hundreds of independent nodes worldwide.

  Last night, I tried Obsidian at home. Download the software, install, use the extension "remotely save", and the problem came again... I don't know how to sync the file from Dropbox... So I restart again.....create a file folder and rename it set auth...refresh it still no sync

  You pay Google $10/month to store your files. On Google's servers. Where Google can read them. You pay Dropbox $12/month. On Dropbox's servers. Where Dropbox can read them. You pay Apple $10/month. On Apple's servers. Where Apple can read them. Dropbox was breached in 2024. User emails, hashed passwords, API keys, and OAuth tokens were exposed. There is a tool that syncs your files directly between your own devices. No cloud. No server. No middleman. Ever. It's called Syncthing. 81,900+ stars on GitHub. Your files go directly from one device to another. Peer-to-peer. They never touch a third-party server. Not even Syncthing's. Here's what it does: → Syncs files between any number of devices in real-time. → Peer-to-peer. No central server. Your files go directly between YOUR devices. → TLS encryption with perfect forward secrecy on every connection. → Every device authenticated with a strong cryptographic certificate. → Works over LAN and internet. No port forwarding needed. → Selective folder sharing. Sync different folders with different people. → File versioning. Deleted or changed something? Roll it back. → Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, FreeBSD, Solaris, and more. → Web dashboard to monitor everything from your browser. → No account. No sign-up. Install it. Share a device ID. Done. Here's the wildest part: There is no Syncthing server. There is no Syncthing cloud. There is no company storing your data. The protocol is open and documented. There is nothing between your devices except an encrypted tunnel. Google has shut down 293 products. Dropbox has been breached. iCloud photos have leaked. Every cloud service is one policy change away from scanning everything you store. Syncthing can never shut down your files. Because your files were never on their servers. Dropbox Plus: $12/month. $144/year. Google One 2TB: $10/month. $120/year. iCloud+ 2TB: $10/month. $120/year. Syncthing: $0. Unlimited devices. Unlimited storage. Your hardware. Your files.

  Update: I was able to get the download link the mod was using to pull the .exe on launch taken down through Dropbox. It won't stay down for long, but it throws a wrench in their operation for now.

  Drew Houston got rejected by every major VC in Silicon Valley. Today Dropbox is worth $8B. Here's the pivot that changed everything. 2007: Houston was a frustrated MIT student who kept forgetting his USB drive. His solution? A file-syncing tool called Dropbox. The problem: VCs couldn't see the market. → "There's already FTP and email attachments" → "Why not just use a USB drive?" → "The market is too small" Paul Graham at Y Combinator was the only one who got it. But even he made Houston prove demand first. Houston's genius move: Instead of building the full product, he created a 3-minute demo video showing Dropbox syncing files across devices. The video went viral on Digg. Sign-ups jumped from 5,000 to 75,000 overnight. Suddenly VCs were calling him. The lesson: When investors can't see your vision, show them your customers instead. Product demos beat pitch decks every time. What's the best way you've seen a founder prove market demand before raising?

  I want Grok to win. But it's useless about 90% of the time I try to use it as a free user. Dropbox got rich by offering limited free access. Gemini works 100% of the time. OpenAI works most of the time. Anthropic works most of the time. Cleary xAI is in fiscal trouble.

  Dropbox grew from 100K to 4M users in 15 months. They spent $0 on paid ads to do it. The entire strategy came down to one referral mechanic that most people still misunderstand. #growth

  @kasandraalexis_ I think the smallest, 128GB. I don't store much on their and don't use a lot of apps so I haven't ran into a problem except with photos, and that's just from the cloud in general. I have 3TB with Dropbox, so I don't get high storage devices lol.

  @levelsio The real magic will be the second part. I used to pay for an app called FileThis that would automagically download statements to a Dropbox folder. They shut down. Saved hours each month - need to vibe code a replacement!

  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.

  If this app was a phone I would have thrown it across the room by now. Breakups when I use voice to text. It's broken integration with Dropbox so I can't post my memes. And this has been going on for a long time. When will this be fixed?

  @Burnstation3D @gonecozycrafts The cloud was never cheaper. It was hyped to us as cheaper and more convenient. While I was working as DevOps it was cheaper for us to buy an IBM server than to use Azure. And with this AI thingy it's only gonna get more expensive. My Dropbox was hacked and I lost some Google docs because of their error. I have trust issues with cloud

  I run 5 unattended 24 hour laundromats, raining 5 grandkids, and have too many ideas. And currently spending too many late nights diving into the AI world. Some minor accomplishments so far have been: : Set up Open Claw named Bob : Reorganized all my Dropbox files into 9 main categories : Had Bob provide an LOI for a complicated CRE purchase. Including environmental issues. : Any updates to the CRE LOI I just talk into Telegram and it updates the history. : Currently building a Business Continuity Plan. This will include all leases, contacts, insurance etc etc. : Side note. I just copied all my Leases into a folder and got a spreadsheet of all the details including renewal dates. : Analysis of last 1/4 and last years refunds for concerns at my laundromats provided in charts. : Working through 5 steps at a time to build the business income. : Used CoWork to update 22 FAQ’s on my website and Service on GMB specific to each laundromat location. Next small steps: : Load all the parts manuals for my equipment and compare to my inventory in Sortly to update where the parts are used and which parts are obsolete. : Continue to work on Bob providing daily report of all of my systems. SimpliSafe ( ran into some issues with this), RING cameras, Lorex cameras, Woosh filter monitors, ATM balances, TV’s, vending machines and changers. So far I’m not building and shipping products but making my own operations smoother is the goal.

  Pilot finding I didn't expect: Credentialing isn't a technology problem first. It's a paper problem. Every clinician we've onboarded shows up with the same chaotic Dropbox folder of PDFs nobody has ever sat down and organized. Fix the paper. Then the workflow gets easy.

  @solitaryasmr You could always set up your own personal server for cheap; it'd be much less to run than paying for Dropbox. You don't even need any special hardware; just use an old tower or laptop. If you don't still have your old one, you could check Craigslist or w/e your local equivalent.
