    you know why people don't run their own servers? because a couple decades ago american ISPs said "no" to having a web server in your home, and it's been the same ever since. synology could've been the macintosh of the home server, instead we all use dropbox and web 2.0

  • Malti_tweets ᗰᗩᒪTI, ³ ᶜᵒʳᵍⁱˢ ⁱⁿ ᵃ ᵗʳᵉⁿᶜʰᶜᵒᵃᵗ (@Malti_tweets) reported

    @Winterbalg @Vogelkasper Got the same dropbox problem and switched to google cloud for this 🙈 really annoying

  • LoneWolf633 LoneWolf63 #FJB (@LoneWolf633) reported

    @OGIronHorseGirl They closed the office because of the rise of COVID, they said. But we can pay our rent via a Drop Box outside of the office or send it online. $1597.90 plus fees, I would not use a Dropbox that maybe broken into, so can transfer the amount online to their payment portal.

  • adamoverberg Adam Overberg, PharmD, DABAT (@adamoverberg) reported

    @rebeccaraesmith Had this exact thought this morning, right down to Midyear’s new irrelevance. Set up a communal email account, or a Dropbox/Drive/Box account, or just email to the RPD.

  • yamimayuyu Yaminako🔞 (@yamimayuyu) reported

    So, the only way to fix I can think of is that, just post everything on subscribestar, or link to google drive like before I use dropbox. That will be like, extremely weak against piracy, but I kinda have no choice if I want to do the individual one month cycle method.

  • FeralNietzsche Sabretooth Nietzsche (@FeralNietzsche) reported

    @NoLongerBennett Also, the technology on which you'd probably run a home server, apache or nginx, lacks many of the security features you find in cloud-based web 2.0 solutions like DropBox or Google Drive, so the cost/benefit of running your own server doesn't stack up.

  • SenatorIvy Ra's al Dolezal (@SenatorIvy) reported

    If you were to have a problem with Dropbox do you know what you can do? Go on the website and figure it out, because it's designed for normal people to use. When you have a problem with sharepoint people say **** like "ask your sharepoint admin?" AND THEN THEY DIE IN MY BASEMENT

  • Ritz_Meow Ritz Bitz 💗💙💜 (@Ritz_Meow) reported

    I'm using clip studio on an iPad, saving to Dropbox and I keep having a problem of "accessing x file" popups happening seemingly infinite times making me unable to use the program. I'm so tired of losing files and I can't find a solution online. Anyone know a fix?

  • bryan_gillespie Bryan Gillespie | bgillespie.eth (@bryan_gillespie) reported

    @jstn Only too complicated (for a lot of people) with currently available tooling and deployment infrastructure. If this was something that was possible for the Public for decades, there would be software to make setting up a home web server as easy as setting up Dropbox is today.

  • Vulpestruments Tom Faux (Vulpestruments) (@Vulpestruments) reported

    Got my pi zero W running headless+wireless on my shoulder mounted companion bot and automatically uploading photos to Dropbox JUST in time for work to introduce a new security policy asking devices to login to Wi-Fi fresh every day. ffs.

  • PickleDeliverer Pickle (@PickleDeliverer) reported

    i even looked at every email from yahoo i got on that linked account and no warning whatsoever that they would nuke my inbox if i didn't sign in in a year, meanwhile i very quickly found emails from dropbox actually bothering to inform me of a similar policy, and multiple times

  • AlessandraEsse Alessandra Scicchitano (@AlessandraEsse) reported

    And TILT#18 is out to 427 people! The archaeology of Dropbox and the link to the product launch checklist is waiting for you PS: Check the SPAM folder if you don't see it. At times it happens and even though I checked all Mailchimp settings I don't seem to be able to fix it!

  • julianfdezme Julián Fernández-Mejía (@julianfdezme) reported

    Although it may be a good promotion strategy to make us look at your webpage, because maybe we end up reading your other ones. But remember, these are the people that desist (time issues, I hope) because they cannot access Google Drive or Dropbox at their work.

  • ToddSmithSalter Todd Smith-Salter (@ToddSmithSalter) reported

    I would cancel my @google One subscription if @Dropbox had a decent Photo interface with many of the same “machine learning” features such as facial recognition. The photo interface in Dropbox is slow, clunky, and surfaces all photos, which is don’t want.

  • johnpemble John Pemble (@johnpemble) reported

    With Mac's Monterey 12.1 OS, Google Drive with Filestream doesn't work Adobe's Bridge. Clearly another developer problem between Apple, Adobe, and Google. So I'm using Dropbox instead, where Bridge accesses images with a synched DB directory. Hope 12.1 / M1 fixes come in 2022.

  • AdcockRobert Robert Adcock (@AdcockRobert) reported

    @Dropbox how can I get someone on the phone for an issue ?

  • florian_karsten Florian Karsten (@florian_karsten) reported

    @jstn AFAIK This is not the case in europe and people are still not doing it. I think its much more about lost knowledge. Nobody realizes they can plug in their own server (synology) as they would any other appliance and have their dropbox.

  • SuzetteChan Suzette Chan (@SuzetteChan) reported

    Fixed a Dropbox permissions problem. Reward: another episode of #TheSilentSea

  • TheNewStats NewStatistics (@TheNewStats) reported

    @harlanhappydog I caught the error eventually, but it looks like dropbox had a sync error I didn't notice, so the version I posted to OSF has the exclusion error. I'm going to post the version with this error correct, which is what I should have posted all along.

  • NIXXXBOT NIX (@NIXXXBOT) reported

    @Neptune_bird ughhhhhh I hope not. says in dropbox faq that legal nsfw shouldn't be an issue. I'm thinking it's due to traffic or smth

  • synes7hesia Seals (@synes7hesia) reported

    @Dropbox @DropboxSupport Your jobs page is giving an HTTP 500 server error...any idea when I'll be able to submit an application to you guys?

  • Benianus Mohamed BENIANE (@Benianus) reported

    @abdoubouam In all cloud services, the free account is limited, i think I'll use dropbox because is compatible with gumroad, i try to get google drive but i have problems with payment country i don't know why!

  • ClaytonBurnsPhD Clayton Burns (@ClaytonBurnsPhD) reported

    @SteveUBC UBC SPPH needs to teach an information cycle. It needs to do this as recommended for admissions, in course work, and in pro dev. B.C. public health terrible at information. Type of: Gmail-Safari-Word-Dropbox-Twitter for research, collation, and composition.

  • jordanxsilvers jordan (@jordanxsilvers) reported

    i just need a macbook for file transfer… having to upload **** on slow *** dropbox is so terrible.

  • NilsBunger NilsB.eth (@NilsBunger) reported

    @jdan Notion IS better in so many ways. But: Really need “suggest edits” or “track changes” when I want to mark up stuff with teammates Tables - can’t expand them to full width (Dropbox paper did this well) Lines as blocks problems everyone else described

  • flutterwhat Kattaru (@flutterwhat) reported

    @cultofmac @killianbell Why is dropbox so slow to roll this out? M1 macs have been around long enough...

  • MartinHN martinnormark.eth (@MartinHN) reported

    8/ Can be connected to Dropbox, Google Drive or any other place where you receive scanned PDF files. Use the predictions to automatically fix the pages in the PDF, and you have saved some people from lots of demotivating work.

  • synes7hesia Seals (@synes7hesia) reported

    @DropboxSupport I’m fairly sure my mobile Safari doesn’t have any plugins and never has. But it does work on a clean Firefox install on my desktop. Any reason why even a clean mobile browser might have caused this issue?

  • Nicko147 Nick Burdett (@Nicko147) reported

    @byGMargarita @hyunaewrites If you save the files in Dropbox you can access them from different computers. Just make sure you only have one instance open at a time ( to avoid syncing issues)

  • EkremGurel Prof. Dr. Ekrem Gürel (@EkremGurel) reported

    @MahmutTor Dropbox, Mahmut Hocam. I have been using it (though its free version) for nearly 10 years with no problem at all.
