    Dropbox is where deals go to die. Investors open your “data room.” It’s a shared folder named “My Data Room” with 34 subfolders and zero logic. They close it in 8 seconds. You never know they were there. No analytics. No structure. No story. That’s the problem we built @ThePageform to fix.

    Lawyers, 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.

    A decade-old Quora post on Dropbox that is a better product masterclass than any book: Q: Dropbox: Why is Dropbox more popular than other programs with similar functionality? A: Well, let's take a step back and think about the sync problem and what the ideal solution for it would do: - There would be a folder. - You'd put your stuff in it. - It would sync. 
They built that. Why didn't anyone else build that? I have no idea. "But," you may ask, "so much more you could do! What about task management, calendaring, customized dashboards, virtual white boarding. More than just folders and files!" No, shut up. People don't use that crap. They just want a folder. A folder that syncs… That is what it does.

    @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.

    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.

    Notion is a walled garden where external AI agents go to die. Don't get me wrong: we've been huge Notion fans for years. Our entire company lived there: dashboards, notes, projects, our collective brain. It was perfect for humans, but then the Agent Era hit and everything changed. We now work with coding agents like Claude Code every single day, and that is where the friction started. Trying to get external agents to talk to proprietary blocks via a slow API is a total nightmare. The rate limits are painful and the structure is just too rigid for an agent to be efficient. We needed that polished Notion feel without the proprietary bloat holding our agents back. So we built Treehouse: a tool that is essentially Notion meets Dropbox. Treehouse is a web-based viewer for a local folder on your computer. The magic is that the folder is automatically synced across your whole team, kind of like a shared drive with a beautiful face. There is no proprietary database: just your files on your disk, exactly where they belong. Because it is just a folder, your AI agents can talk to it directly at lightning speed. No API rate limits or slow responses. I can ask an agent in my terminal to build an HTML page locally and have it render for the team instantly. Reclaiming your data doesn't mean sacrificing aesthetics. We built in advanced theming and custom CSS support: you can even have your agent rebrand your entire workspace for you. Notion was built for humans. In an AI world, we need high-speed playgrounds, not walled gardens. We are planning to open source Treehouse soon. If you want to reclaim your data, let us know! We wrote a blog post about it below 👇

    @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?

    Drew Houston got rejected by every major VC in Silicon Valley before Dropbox became worth $10B. His story shows why persistence beats perfection. 2007: Houston demos file syncing to VCs. The response was brutal: → "This already exists" → "Google will just build this" → "Not a big enough market" One VC told him: "Why would anyone pay for storage when it's getting cheaper every day?" Houston's mistake: He was pitching technology, not the problem it solved. The pivot moment came when he made a simple 4-minute demo video showing Dropbox in action. No technical jargon. Just: drag file here, access it anywhere. The video hit the front page of Digg. 75,000 signups overnight. Suddenly VCs were calling him. Sequoia led his Series A. The same firm that initially passed. The lesson: VCs don't invest in features — they invest in problems worth solving. Houston learned to sell the pain point (lost files, USB drives, email attachments) before selling the solution. Today Dropbox has 700M+ users and went public at a $9B valuation. The rejections weren't about the product. They were about the pitch. What's the biggest lesson you've learned from getting rejected?

    @pvpandroids Just like box and Dropbox and Google gave away free storage and uber sold rides at a loss. It’s a competitive issue to start. At some point they will.

    Let me add my own perspective: this reminds me of the Dropbox story. Before Dropbox, there were already dozens of similar solutions, but they didn’t solve the users’ problem completely or in the way users actually wanted.

    @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.

    Ok great. What do we do. What can we do. I was told We were the problem, the people who vote on Election Day, we made things go slowly. VOTE EARLY THEY SAID. I voted on May 13 via dropbox. STILL NOT COUNTED. I doorknocked for Spencer. Only threatened once- by a Cedars Sinai young white female doctor. The CORRUPTION is too overwhelming. We need FEDERAL INTERVENTION!

    @mnsibley "Dropbox issues" was always a plausible excuse for me. Best part of being retired: nobody says "I'll put it in the Dataroom for you..." One time I renamed my colleague's trash can "Dataroom" on her desktop. My work load decreased 20%.

    For the past months, tech layoffs have tormented the internet. I studied the biggest layoffs and found the major reasons. Let's look at the layoffs first: 1. Meta: 11,000+ employees / 13% Meta admitted it overestimated post-Covid growth. Revenue slowed, costs were high, and the company moved toward becoming leaner. 2. Google: 12,000 employees / around 6% Google said it had hired for a different economic reality and needed to refocus resources toward its biggest priorities, especially AI. 3. Microsoft: 10,000 employees / less than 5% Microsoft said customers were optimizing digital spending after the pandemic boom, while the company shifted investment toward strategic areas like AI. 4. Amazon: around 30,000 roles / nearly 10% Amazon cut corporate jobs to reduce bureaucracy, improve efficiency, and restructure around AI and faster decision-making. 5. Salesforce: 10% of workforce Salesforce admitted it hired too aggressively during the pandemic and had to resize after customer spending slowed. 6. Spotify: 17% of workforce Spotify said growth had slowed, capital had become expensive, and the company needed to become more efficient after years of heavy investment. 7. Twitter/X: Around 3,700 employees / nearly 50% After Elon Musk’s takeover, Twitter cut roughly half its workforce to slash costs after a massive drop in ad revenue. 8. Snap — 20% of workforce Snap cut jobs after revenue growth slowed sharply. It also shut down non-core projects like games, Originals, and the Pixy drone. 9. Intel: 15,000 roles / around 15% Intel cut jobs because costs were too high, margins were weak, and the company needed a $10B cost-saving plan to stay competitive. 10. Dropbox: 528 employees / 20% Dropbox said demand had softened, the org had too many layers, and it needed to shift focus toward newer growth areas, like AI products. All these layoffs were majorly because of: 1. pandemic overhiring 2. slower revenue growth 3. higher interest rates 4. pressure to improve margins 5. companies cutting management layers 6. money shifting toward AI infrastructure This is majorly conflicting with the idea that AI automation is taking everyone's job. There is absolutely no evidence that AI has caused massive layoffs because of "automation."

    He spent two years looking for a bigger problem. Found it on a Chinatown bus in January 2007 when he reached into his bag and realized he'd forgotten his USB drive. Again. He opened his laptop and started coding what would become Dropbox.

    One video. $48 million in revenue. No ads spent. That's the Dropbox story and most product teams still haven't learned from it. Here's what actually happened: Dropbox had a technically brilliant product that no one understood. Instead of adding more features, they made a 2-minute video that showed *exactly* what the product did. Simple. Specific. Human. Signups went up 10% overnight. Big companies spend millions refining their product. Then they describe it in six bullet points on a landing page and wonder why the sales cycle takes forever. The product video isn't marketing. It's compression. It compresses trust, clarity, and desire into 90 seconds. If a user can't understand your product in a video, the product isn't the problem. The story is. When was the last time you watched your own product video as if you were a first-time user?

    @SsharmaKirti Maybe isse ek project bnalo... redundant file storage ( across various apps like dropbox, gdrive and local server ). And add video streaming capabilities based on the fastest avalable ( calculated dynamically ) service. I made this couple of years ago, but for different tasks

    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?
