  $DBX - Dropbox added 96,000 paying users this quarter. I said this morning to watch that line after last quarter's roughly 14,000 sequential adds. They did seven times that, a third consecutive quarter of growth, to 18.19M. The stock is down 4%. Everything I said to watch on the growth side came in fine. Revenue $631.5M, above both the $624-627M guide and the $627M street. Non-GAAP EPS $0.75 against $0.74. Non-GAAP operating margin 39.7%, above the full-year range. ARPU $139.68, up from $138.32. What went the wrong way is the part I said would actually move it. Free cash flow fell to $235.2M from $258.5M a year ago, and the margin went from 41.3% to 37.2%. And the buyback decelerated: $330M this quarter against $410M in the same quarter last year, with first-half repurchases down 19%. Unlevered free cash flow rose to $283.5M, and the gap between the two numbers is interest. Cash paid for interest went to $48.3M from $17.9M. The buyback is debt-funded and the debt now costs something. Diluted share count is down 18% year over year to 226.8M, which is the one thing still working mechanically. Two things about the release itself. Guidance isn't in it — Dropbox moved the numbers to supplemental materials on its investor site this quarter, which breaks with how it has reported. And the entire release is quoted by a co-CEO who writes "stepping into this role." The 8-K contains no disclosure of a leadership change. Twenty-nine percent of the float is short. $DBX

  You have spent months building your WordPress site. What happens the day it suddenly goes offline? 😱 It happens all the time. We have heard several scary stories. A plugin conflict, a bad update, or a security breach can wipe out your complete website without any warning. The scary part is that most site owners assume their host has them fully covered, right up until they actually need to restore. We have tested countless backup tools on our own projects, so we put together the exact methods we trust to keep a site safe. Here is what you will learn: ✅ Pick the Right Method: Compare backup plugins, host backups, and manual cPanel or FTP so you know which fits your skill level. ✅ Back Up the Full Site: Save your database, themes, plugins, and uploads together so you can restore everything, not just your posts. ✅ Automate It With @DuplicatorWP: Schedule daily or weekly backups and send them straight to the cloud so you never have to remember. ✅ Store Copies Off Your Server: Keep backups in Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3 so one server crash never takes your site and its backup at once. ✅ Restore in Minutes: Use a disaster recovery link to bring your site back even when it is completely broken. Ready to protect all that hard work before disaster strikes? Read our complete step-by-step guide from the link in the comments 👇 (Link is in the thread below)

  He put a photo of their 2 yo daughter naked with exposed genetalia in a Dropbox folder that “received more than 400,000 combined views or interactions. ... and it was publicly accessible for 23 hours before she says Minc acknowledged responsibility and took it down.”

  they solved this problem in panda by splitting the key space into “ranges.” each range is roughly 100 GB, so when a range grows too large, it can be split and redistributed. (btw panda is an abstraction layer over sharded mysql that dropbox built)

  I'm so sorry I left my zipper down and my sanity got loose. If found: Men, there's a dropbox. Women: please return to original source.

  i met a founder doing $10,000,000+/year at my airbnb gym in dubai at 6am he was the only other person there. we started talking. i asked him what was driving most of his revenue. he didn't say ads. he didn't say cold email. he didn't say a sales team. he pulled out his phone and showed me a dashboard. 28 million views in the last 30 days. accounts he owns. content he already had. no ad spend. no creators. no audience deals. he said something i haven't stopped thinking about since. "most founders are renting attention. i own mine." here's what he meant, and why it's the most important distinction in business right now. when you run ads, you are paying rent on someone else's audience. the moment you stop paying, the leads stop arriving. you don't own anything. you built nothing. you rented a billboard for six months and when the lease expired you were back to zero, except now you're $200,000 lighter and your CAC is a number your board pretends not to notice. when you distribute content on accounts you own, something different happens. the views compound. the audience compounds. the trust compounds. a clip you posted three months ago is still driving profile visits today. a piece of content from last year is still closing deals this quarter. the platform doesn't have an expiration date on good content, and the attention you build doesn't evaporate when you stop writing checks. this founder had 52 accounts across every platform. all owned. all run by a dedicated team posting daily clips from content he already had sitting in a folder doing nothing. youtube recordings. podcast episodes. webinar footage. he wasn't creating anything new. he was just finally distributing what he'd already created, at scale, into every market he wanted to win. the math is what broke my brain. $0 in ad spend. 28 million views in 30 days. if you modelled that as paid traffic at even a $2 CPM, you're looking at $56,000 worth of reach. every month. compounding. from content that existed before we ever had that conversation in a gym in dubai at 6am. i've seen this exact system work for iman gadzhi. 300 million views. 180,000 instagram followers and 280,000 tiktok followers built from zero, on accounts he owns and keeps. i've seen it work for luke belmar. 200 million views and $19M in capital club subscriptions driven through distribution alone, not through ads, not through a sales team, through clips running on owned accounts into the exact audience that needed to see them. i built russell brunson's clipping infrastructure inside clickfunnels. $100,000 in sales from a system that runs without him touching it. the pattern is always the same. founder has content. founder has no real distribution. founder is either buying reach they don't own or posting to their own audience and wondering why growth is flat. we build a dedicated team around their brand, warm up accounts to the exact audience they want to reach, geo-target any market they want to win, post daily, test what's working, double down, and watch the views compound across a system they own completely. the content you already have is the most underused asset in your business. most founders spend years creating it. podcast episodes nobody heard. youtube videos that peaked at 4,000 views. webinar recordings sitting in a dropbox folder. all of it has a shelf life of forever if someone actually distributes it properly, and almost nobody does. the guy in the dubai gym wasn't smarter than you. he wasn't working harder. he wasn't spending more. he just figured out earlier that distribution is the actual product, and everything else is just content waiting to be seen by the people who need it. if you want to see the full strategy we use to build this kind of system... the accounts, the setup, the playbook - comment "distribution" below

  Apple be bullshitting about this iCloud storage. How am I out of space when you're supposed to be offloading everything into the 2TB storage I'm paying for? Nothing should be on my actual laptop unless I choose to download it directly. DropBox somehow never has this issue.

  Company for AI age: - Information should flow flat - Can’t wait to have all information to make decisions - Speed and excelente in execution is crucial - You should get as much info as possible during the constraint of time given by yourself - How do we prepare a company to be totally eligible for AI? Not only text info but images - Service of the future is not about giving agents to corps to solve problems but offering the solution/service driven by AI. - Even if all information is on the web, multiple file structures, owners, formats and file storage systems (dropbox, drive, box) add friction to information and decision making

  @jgreze @Dropbox Half of every revenue problem is a company being too polite to ask. The intern just asked.

  @Rani_Rant_Fest @iGardon Doesn't change the fact that they aren't showing the prompt, so the result is valueless. I don't read people's google shares. Put it in dropbox if you want me to read it. Lastly, calmatters is a CA bureaucracy, of course they will lay down cover for their corrupt gov.

  @HalloweenYrRnd This is fake, unhinged take on a very real problem. No one "deserves" a movie, that doesn't even make sense. But, with modern day digital distribution there is no meaningful cost to actually releasing a project. They can tweet out a DropBox link and call it a day.
