JLemmens (@JLemmens_) reported@mrsgcomics Onedrive honestly was the best one of the filesyncing services I've used over the time but don't rely on that alone if **** hits the fan. Dropbox (2expensive), Mega (2sluggish), Idrive (obsolete), Gdrive (risky+slow unless you use that app but even then), haven't tried Proton.

Shripal Gandhi (@ishripalgandhi) reportedHey @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??

How To AI (@HowToAI_) reportedGoogle, 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.

obtuse goose (@abelianraisin) reported@suchenzang Entire value prop is doing a lot of heavy lifting here everything gcp/aws/azure does can effectively be done in a budget manner by its customers. Dropbox storage similarly (granted it's market cap is way down but still it is a viable business) I have no dog in this fight fwiw
-
Orewin1990.bsky.social (@Yoshiwi2) reportedOkay, I think I've settled for an idea. I'll probably create an Dropbox account and upload all NSFW stuff there. Everyone who's interested in getting a link, once it's there, drop an comment down here. Won't be free tho. Around 10ish € a month

Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (@calibrated_lies) reported3. Incentivizes Centralizing BlockSpace Market Ahhh the crux of the problem "... high-volume data ...". Bitcoin is a monetary protocol used for monetary txs any other use make Bitcoin useless. Monetary txs are small. If you want data then get a DropBox account.

YC Insights. (@Aiagent_s) reportedMarch 23, 2018. Dropbox IPOs on NASDAQ. Surges 40%+ day one. Market cap: $12B First YC company ever to go public. Drew still owned 30%. The real lesson: both rejections were right. Both made the company better. Treat each rejection as a specific diagnosis. Then fix that specific thing.
-
Isha (@VISportsTalk) reported@DropboxSupport Still not working. Is there an ETA for when your website and app will be operational again?
-
Logan Radcliff (@GTDCANI) reportedOmg OneDrive is terrible! Do better @Microsoft ! Trying to download a folder with 1000 files. OD zips, downloads, says complete. I end up with 5% of my files. Never this issue with Google Drive or DropBox.
-
𝙎𝙄𝙕𝙀𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 (@SIZEplayProduct) reportedUpdate: I was able to upload a clip via Dropbox to C4S using another Mac - maybe it has something to do with my MacBook? Even though it’s a few years old & has the latest software? Is anyone else having upload issues with #Clips4Sale?
-
Glitch Truth (@glitchtruth) reportedthe bottleneck is OSC 52 only forwards text, not image bytes. workaround most people land on: screenshot to a synced folder (Dropbox/iCloud) and reference the path, or scp it over before pasting. iTerm2's imgcat works the other direction but not for input. real fix would need a custom escape sequence nobody's shipped yet.

VestaCreds (@vestacreds) reportedPilot 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.

𝖆𝖍𝖒𝖎𝖗 (@calhalt98) reported@liabynight Lmk if you ever make a Dropbox, I’d be down to get it
-
11B_geek_w_gun (@11B_GWG) reported@wtfcetialpha5 @sarahadams @Dropbox I'd argue a self-hosted ssh server and DDNS service is more "free" depending on your technical ability to setup. But there are advantages to Proton Drive. Both are viable solutions.
-
Ryan McKeen (@ryanmckeen) reportedLawyers, your biggest barrier to AI isn't AI. It's that your data lives in 6 places. Dropbox. Drive. Email. Hard drive. A spreadsheet only one person can find. Fix that first.
-
Igor Trunin (@igortr_) reported3 post types: 1/ question — unsolved problem 2/ TIL — short find, like a bug 3/ blueprint — working solution Already ~100 posts live. Most are TILs. Example: Dropbox on macOS lives at /CloudStorage/Dropbox-{TeamName}/ not ~/Dropbox/. small but genuinely useful
-
The Redeemed Artist (@Peace_Grenade81) reportedIf 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?
-
🎀MONA MANIC🧸 (@mona_maniccc) reportedMy new Dropbox link is out 1 terabyte dm if you are down 💞

Simon Bates (@RobotDoggy69) reportedI don't know what's going on with Dropbox and my Mac at the moment, but it just won't stay running. I assume it's another apple update that's causing this headache. For two such big firms to give its clients such problems is seriously ****** up.

Bosn (@00bosn00) reported2026 and we’re out here building god-tier AI that can debate physics and write symphonies, but Grok still can’t watch a Dropbox, OneDrive, or Discord video link.“Sorry, I can’t watch videos from Dropbox, OneDrive, or most direct file links.”We’re doing all this magic with AI and the video player is stuck in 2015. Fix it, xAI.

divyansh tiwari (@DivyanshT91162) reportedThe craziest part? Google and Dropbox built billion-dollar businesses… around a problem open source already solved for free years ago.

fercaton (@fercaton) reportedWriting things down isn't weak—it's like training wheels for your ideas. Your brain's not built to be an infinite Dropbox; it's for connecting dots, not hoarding them.

JasonFrostPhoto (@rootbeerphoto) reported@DropboxSupport What? My problem was not about camera uploads.
-
urBITCOIN (@BitcoinUr) reportedNo, 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.

Néstor Planes (@NestorPlanes) reportedBen Thompson about The Consumer Market: "This reality about the consumer market is a lesson that Silicon Valley has to re-learn every decade or so. Consider Dropbox, whose founder, Drew Houston, is in the process of stepping down. Dropbox was a category-defining product that had a viral hook — if someone signed up with your referral code, you got more storage — and grew extremely fast amongst consumers; the company then spent too long trying to actually build a business in the consumer space, before finally realizing that the only way to make money with what was ultimately a productivity product was by selling to enterprise. The reason is obvious when you think about it: enterprises are paying for their employees’ time, so of course they are willing to pay for tools that make those employees more productive; consumers, on the other hand, are mostly looking to waste time, which is why attention-harvesting advertising is the only software business model that works at scale for consumer services. The fact that Silicon Valley forgets this is downstream from Silicon Valley being a bubble; normal people aren’t looking for agents to buy them tickets to a concert. Still, the bubble was strong enough to convince OpenAI to make the exact same mistake Dropbox did: the company somehow convinced itself that it could make enough money selling subscriptions to consumers; Anthropic, meanwhile, realized that it was enterprises who were willing to pay for AI’s massive productivity benefits, even as OpenAI failed to capitalize on their consumer market penetration by refusing to build an advertising product. This is a long-winded way of saying that I don’t think that Apple’s agentic shortcomings are a big deal, at least for now. Agents help you do work and be more productive, and consumers don’t want to work or care about being productive. What they do want to do is watch short-form video, and an iPhone is simply much better at that than any other device ever will be; in that context, Siri being good enough is enough, and it appears that Apple crossed that bar."

Isha (@VISportsTalk) reported@DropboxSupport @DropboxSupport Now I cannot even remove editors to folders. The Whole system is down
-
BadUncle (@BadUncleX) reported@mitsuhiko Similarly, I still use the old version before 7. They try to force you to bind to their server-dependent version. I prefer to use dropbox to synchronize.

Patrick Daniel Alpha (@PatrickDanielAl) reportedInstead, I point Claude at the shared Dropbox link. It reads the folder structure, finds the right product, and drills down into the High Res image folders automatically.
