3/8 🎨 Use Case 1: Versioning Creatives Tired of Dropbox chaos? Store every ad variation on ICP. Access them instantly, A/B test without lag, and never lose a file to a cloud outage. Costs? ~$0.025/GB/year vs. AWS’s $2.30/GB/month. Do the math. 📊

Grok made a .pptx file based on my prompt. However, the file can not be accessed. I have asked for the hypertext link, as well as directly sending to my email or phone, as well as a file transfer service such as dropbox. Each time, Grok responds the file is ready to be downloaded, however, the files are not linked so there is no connection. Error 404 keeps coming up. Does anyone have a solution?

@CreationsLevi What if, while the flag issue is resolved -well, *IF* it even gets resolved- instead of posting the pic, you upload it to... dunno, dropbox or something like that, and then share the link here? It might still be annoying, but maybe it could save you that editing time 🤔.

@venb13n @gregisenberg It's impossible to list every app using AWS (thousands do), but major ones include Netflix, Snapchat, Roblox, Fortnite, Coinbase, Robinhood, Canva, Duolingo, Reddit, Twitch, Airbnb, Disney+, Slack, Dropbox, Zoom, Lyft, and Pinterest. Many were hit by yesterday's outage. For more, see AWS case studies.

@wally_meg Ah okay yeah I understand that experience. That’s how I feel about Dropbox. Can’t leave the app at ALL or it stops. And takes forever. Then you gotta make sure the phone doesn’t lock. I was also having that issue with Fansly and for a time, OF, where I left the internet and came back to see if it was uploaded and the whole page refreshed

You know, having had a home server running for almost two years, I'm kinda realizing I'm hamstringing myself by still holding on to Dropbox. I could very well cancel my subscription to it and just self-host my own file storage.

@DropboxSupport There is no longer an ellipses next to my name in the shared folder permissions. Because of this, I can't leave any shared folders. Is this a known issue or has the option to leave a folder been moved somewhere else?

@adelate Question: how did you set up the profile pic? I’ve tried using a link to photo that’s on my public dropbox folder and a photo from Google Drive but it always results in a broken image link. May I ask where you host your photos for the BCD app?

Why not just use cloud storage encryption? Google Drive and Dropbox do encrypt files, but there are gaps: ❌ Backup sits unprotected during upload ❌ Account breach = full access to files ❌ No protection if someone accesses your server Plugin encryption offers better security

I have had a humongous ust archive since 2010ish, and a lot of these links died due to website closure or error, not because people left. Would it be wrong of me to post a link to my massive archive I keep on Dropbox? All the usts are alphabetized and updated once a year.

Coffee with One 🇺🇸
(@coffeewithone) reported
Brian Chesky got told Airbnb would never work. Drew Houston got told Dropbox was just a feature. Patrick Collison got told Stripe would get crushed by PayPal. All of them ignored the noise and built. When I dropped out of Duke to build Octolane with my best friend, people had opinions. Plenty of them. “CRMs are a solved problem.” “Salesforce has too much of a moat.” “Another AI tool? Really?” The thing is, everyone has an opinion about what won’t work. Very few people actually build. I remember working late nights in San Francisco, debugging our software for the hundredth time. My mom called asking when I’d go back to school. Friends from Duke were posting their job offers. But I kept showing up with my best friend Rafi. Every day. Building. consistency beats conviction every time. i saw the best founders who win are the ones who keep building when everyone else stops. They’re the ones who ship on Day 100 with the same energy they had on Day 1. we’re building a self-driving CRM @octolane_ai to take down Salesforce. Could we fail? Absolutely. Will some people say it won’t work? They already do. The noise never stops. Your job isn’t to silence it. Your job is to build anyway. Show up. Ship. Repeat. That’s the only way anything gets built.

@iraftopo What if the right “give” isn’t a feature or discount, but how the user feels? Being heard, seen, or taught something new. Often the right “give” shows up in early conversations. If users get excited when you fix something fast, that’s your give. Dropbox’s was simple: extra storage when a friend joined.

@brithume @PrimeVideo It's 2025. I'm sure this game was recorded on somebody's Plex server or equivalent and they can put it on a public "Dropbox" link for you.

(@5bonacci_Tech) reported
@historyinmemes That’s the kind of bold claim that tech companies love to make never lose another file again but history has shown us that no cloud platform is invincible. Dropbox has had its share of sync bugs, accidental deletions, and security lapses, and adding another helpful tool doesn’t automatically fix the human errors, privacy trade offs, or server dependencies that cause those issues in the first place.

@Bovelett @ScreenFlow It's if you're saving to any synced cloud storage service - doesn't matter where you save (e.g. my Dropbox is on my main drive). They added this message in a more recent update. I've accidentally corrupted SF files many times this way. I zip mine for storage - problem solved. :)

@DropboxSupport It doesn’t seem like you’re actually working on the issue because you’re just making me run in circles.

But basically I’m a tenner down, could’ve sent the stuff without any of that ******* about, and not have had any of the further issues I had with Dropbox (with which I’ve never had any issues at all in sharing anything with anyone!). Crazy stuff

Traditional systems like AWS, Google Cloud, or Dropbox rely on centralized data centers. If one server or region goes down, your data can become unavailable or even lost. solution is @Gata_xyz

(@jamesacowling) reported
@Dan_The_Goodman I think the main argument is just that they’re separate physical facilities far enough apart that if one burns down or floods the others are probably fine. When we were planning data centers at Dropbox we’d pay pretty close attention to flood plains etc.

@IsaacKing314 Dropbox and google drive apps. Both are free with limited space, I use them quite often and haven’t had a problem yet. Both preserve quality and support different files extensions. Emailing yourself works too, similar to what you already do but protects the quality.

@pmarca Well step one / problem one. Getting the file out of X / Dropbox into a native pdf reader. Both the X and Dropbox UI “reset” whenever you put down the document. With a 91 page document that leads to going “back to the top”

@FedEx @FedExHelp Put a package in Dropbox on Oct 13 and no tracking information found. I know the package went completely in the Dropbox so could not be stolen. Has to be a driver issue. Either the driver never picked up, or never scanned my box. Was a return label, ground

@Mary_ork I'll be giving Spin balance another shot probably on Amazon after I review it at least twice more. Before I list it on Amazon I'll link to a Dropbox pdf of the full book, so people can decide if it's worth $30 or not. Then it'll have to come down to satisfy Amazon restrictions

@petarcopyrock Yo, upload it to a public site like SoundCloud, Dropbox, or even attach it here on X if it's short. Drop the direct link, and I'll analyze the waveform/metadata via tools—can't "listen" like ears, but I can break down freqs, dynamics, and give feedback. What's the track about? Let's hear it!
