  @KRoderick92777 Sounds like you're dealing with oversized thread data files that apps flag as corrupted due to size limits and analysis issues, plus some legal complexities. Try compressing them with tools like ZIP or 7-Zip, or split into smaller parts. For sharing, use Google Drive or Dropbox. If it's X threads, tools like Thread Reader can unroll them. Details on the files/apps? I can help troubleshoot.

  37% of employees knowingly break their company's AI policy. Not accidentally. Knowingly. Shadow IT was USB drives and unapproved Dropbox accounts. Shadow AI is employees pasting proprietary code into ChatGPT because the approved tool is too slow to get access to. 52% of employees download apps without IT approval, and only 4% didn't know they needed to ask. They know the rules. They just decided the rules aren't worth following. If your security policy depends on people caring more about compliance than getting their job done, you don't have a policy. You have a suggestion.

  2/10 Unlike Google Drive or Dropbox, DeNet does NOT store your files on one central server. Instead, your files are: 🔐 Encrypted 🧩 Split into pieces 🌍 Distributed across global nodes That’s decentralization.

  @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.

  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

  @Dropbox Dropbox Customer Support is HORRIBLE !!!!!!! I waited for over an hour on 3 different occasions on the phone and no one ever answered. Now on Social Media I get a message to tell them what the issue is --- ONLY to be ignored again..

  @justalexoki I get the point but to be honest my Dropbox account was deleted because of inactivity and my FTP server is still running

  @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.

  @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.

  @slwl_dev Server-side rendering via edge functions using @react-pdf/renderer — layout is locked before it ever reaches the signing step. Dropbox Sign handles delivery and legally binding signatures. Consistent output regardless of device or browser. What stack are you working with?"

  @TheTigersBurner @fredsoda That’s not a Pton problem imo, that’s just entry level jobs drying up everywhere And 10 years ago it was also the case that 90% of on campus recruiting was finance or consulting. The remainder were rotational programs at places like Dropbox that have since been discontinued

  I didn't hire the kleptomanics that were going through my Dropbox after I left. I understand that is the version of America that you all are trying to create. I am not working with those people and their lives are pathetic to have to do this to me.

  @skeletoncrevvs i get this issue with dropbox, but u cant be claiming that ur content is EASILY accessible 4 everyone if this is the case, whether u wanted this outcome or not. its still not easily accessible. i encourage u to try to look into other options if u want it to actually be accessible

  Chad Bockius (@bockius) reported 29 minutes ago

  The bottleneck was never code. It was understanding. Airbnb didn't win because they built faster. Slack didn't dominate because they shipped more features. Dropbox didn't succeed because they had cleaner code. They understood their users' problems deeply. Built precisely what was needed. Nothing more.

  Dear @1Password: are y'all listening? This is me too. You've succumbed to the Dropbox error and are putting all sorts of unnecessary (and insecure) stuff inside an app that should be rigorously single-focused. Please reconsider. I'd gladly keep paying for a maintenance mode.

  @FinanceDirCFO But rather "subprime AI", right? SaaS stocks go down because people don't get business, and think that Dropbox, LinkedIn, Spotify, Office 365, Slack, Netflix, Instagram etc. will go out of business simply because "anyone can vibe code their own version".

  @sila_beyaz @HLearningPD There’s a Dropbox link at the back. It’ll take you to a page where you can scroll down to find the RTT book. There’s been a couple of issues getting the complete set of resources in there but we have it on good authority that they should all be in this week at some point!

  In Japanese file names, the brackets "【 】" (sumitsuki-kakko) are automatically converted to underscores after signing. These characters are essential for organizing files in 🇯🇵. Please fix this! @DropboxSign @DropboxSupport @Dropbox

  @rseroter @Dropbox Dropbox still at 87GB before the fix is wild. Mono repo size creep is silent until someone's waiting an hour to clone on day one.

  🔗 INTEGRATION ECOSYSTEM Already using other tools? No problem: • Import from Google Drive/Dropbox (one-click migration) • Connect to existing calendars • Sync with email clients • API for custom integrations • Webhook support for automation Bring your existing stack. We'll make it better.

  @libovness no, github is just for source code, dropbox is used for media all the time. github has file size limits and can take your repo down if it doesn't have source code

  i have housekeeping todo before i can tackle fun tech stuff like aws new s3 files (objects are temporarily mounted, as they are touched, into efs aka nfs on aws), the dropbox clone and dan just dropped an email about refashioning the internet with atproto. i need to finish this hazmat course and a few accounting tax intuit turbotax courses for my business. then i want to step through this oauth project on manning which references a book title, up and running with oauth 2 or something, and steps through building 1 auth server 2 api 3 spa. there are a bunch of good all-in-one services in this area i want to crib notes on too such as dexidp, stack-auth, curity, and w/e theo is cooking. he likes better-auth iirc.

  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. Forever. 349 contributors. 464 releases. 5,000+ forks. Battle-tested since 2013. Run by the Syncthing Foundation. A Swedish non-profit. MPL-2.0 licensed. Open protocol. Peer-to-peer. Free forever. 100% Open Source.

  @WindowsCentral ZeroDrive has always been buggy! Even though I get 6TB included with my Microsoft 365 subscription, I still pay for a @Dropbox subscription to ensure 24x7 access to my files, error free!

  @aixbt_agent what is the potential in a time window of 4 years? Hippius (SN75) on Bittensor $TAO has been RIPPING lately 🚀 What @hippius_subnet does: - Decentralized storage network (like a crypto Dropbox) - Miners run storage nodes + provide bandwidth - You upload files, pin data, host apps -> all verified on-chain Problem it solves: - Centralized storage is pricey + they can see/control your data - No real proof your files are safe or where they actually live - Hippius makes storage way cheaper (hundreds to thousands times less), private, and auditable forever Why it is hot right now: - Built “Hyper fabric” for fast data moves -> perfect for Bittensor models/datasets - Adding VM hosting + app deployment soon - Pulling strong revenue + high emissions lately Hippius is becoming the cheap, permanent brain-storage for all of Bittensor’s AI. SN75 alpha has been in high demand lately 🔥
