  terrible rate limits, and errors when your AI of choice hits its head up against their overcomplicated block API. All problems you don't have if you knowledge base is just files! Thats why we've started building Treehouse, its basically Notion + Dropbox combined with loads ...

  @DropboxSupport I don't know who's running this page but you need to fix the glitch that is going on with your latest update. My Dropbox app worked just fine up until your latest update which was about three or four days ago. Maybe even two days ago. I heavily rely on your services and I need access to my account ASAP. There is nothing but a black screen when I open up my Dropbox app hopefully somebody can get back to me with this problem and hopefully one of your technicians gets to work on your end.

  Don’t pay for Notion, use Obsidian Don’t pay for Slack, use Discord Don’t pay for Zoom, use Google Meet Don’t pay for Jira, use Linear Don’t pay for Salesforce, use HubSpot CRM Don’t pay for QuickBooks, use Wave Don’t pay for DocuSign, use Dropbox Sign Don’t pay for Calendly, use Cal Don’t pay for Intercom, use Crisp Don’t pay for Webflow, use Carrd Don’t pay for Airtable, use NocoDB Don’t pay for 1Password, use Bitwarden Most startups don’t have a revenue problem. They have a software subscription problem. You don’t need a $30k tech stack to build a great company. You just need smarter tools. That’s an easy $15,000+/year saved.

  @Dropbox I'm having trouble regaining access to my Dropbox account. I have access to the registered email. I request a password change, you send the password, I log in with the password, then you say you'll send an SMS to my cell phone, but that SMS never arrives.

  "it's just a wrapper" 😑 might be one of the laziest criticism in tech! users don't care whether you built the infrastructure. they care whether the product solves their problem. dropbox didn't invent storage. it made storage effortless. turns out making existing technology usable is a lot more valuable than many founders want to admit.

  @suchenzang Entire value prop is doing a lot of heavy lifting here everything gcp/aws/azure does can effectively be done in a budget manner by its customers. Dropbox storage similarly (granted it's market cap is way down but still it is a viable business) I have no dog in this fight fwiw

  Is dropbox not working for anyone atm? I was JUST uploading some files and now it won't let me anymore, it keeps ending in "upload failed". It won't even let me delete folders either, it just gets stuck on a stupid endless spinning wheel or whatever. ******* hate this **** man

  Drew Houston stepping down as Dropbox CEO. 314 comments on HN, most reading like a eulogy. Cloud storage went from 'this changes everything' to 'it's just a folder' in about a decade. The moment Google bundled Drive for free, the moat was gone. What's the modern equivalent — something we think is defensible today that'll be commoditized by 2030?

  The trap: when ~/.claude/ is in Dropbox, it often seems to work. No error message. Sometimes your preferences load, sometimes they do not. The symptom is silent quality drops you cannot trace. Not a visible failure. That is why people miss it.

  Leaked! UNREDACTED video footage from The American Fork Police Department that exposes everything! Joshua, the franchise owner of the Bricks & Minifigs location in Salem, Oregon is seen here! This footage was previously redacted but was accidentally uploaded the American Fork PD to their Dropbox online before it was taken down, luckily someone saved it and is now released! #recklessben #legoscandal

  Bricks & Minifigs LEGO Drama: Unredacted Police Footage Raises Serious Questions About Cop-Business Ties Hey everyone, it's been a wild ride since my last piece on the Bricks and Minifigs mess. What started as a story about a family trying to sell their massive Star Wars LEGO collection has turned into something much uglier. With the unredacted bodycam and dashcam footage from American Fork Police now out there, we are seeing a side of this that looks a lot like police getting way too cozy with the business they were supposed to investigate fairly. The Footage Drop That Blew It Open Just recently, someone got hold of a big batch of unredacted videos from the American Fork PD. It was apparently an accidental public Dropbox link, but once it was out, it spread fast. These are the full versions of the interactions that were shown in heavily edited form before. And man, they paint a pretty concerning picture. In the clips, you see Bricks and Minifigs people like store owner Joshua Johnson and CEO Ammon McNeff talking to officers. They throw out some heavy claims against Reckless Ben. Things like extortion, death threats, collusion with the Mansells, and even making up documents. The police seem to eat it up without much pushback right there on camera. It feels like they are taking the company's word as solid fact. Signs of Too Close for Comfort One part that stands out is when an officer mentions personal connections. He talks about being friends with the Airbnb host where Reckless Ben and his crew were staying before that swatting mess. The officer even sounds like he is bragging about it on bodycam. That kind of casual chat makes you wonder if private relationships played into how aggressively they went after Ben. There is also talk between American Fork officers and other departments, including LAPD. It looks like McNeff and his team were pushing multiple police forces to go after Reckless Ben. The footage shows officers coordinating in ways that feel more like helping a business protect itself than handling a neutral investigation. The arrest of Reckless Ben gets shown in more detail too. What some saw as a traffic stop turns into a long vehicle search over supposed drugs that never seemed to pan out. Critics are calling the whole thing disproportionate, like the police were there to send a message rather than enforce clear laws. The earlier redacted videos hid a lot of this flow, but now we can see it all. The Community Reaction and the Mormon Angle LEGO fans and true crime watchers online have been tearing this apart. Threads on Reddit and YouTube breakdowns are full of people saying it looks like the department acted as private security for Bricks and Minifigs. Some point to the shared LDS Church ties between officers, Johnson, McNeff, and others as a possible reason for the protective vibe. I am not saying it is a full conspiracy, but the optics are not great in a tight knit place like American Fork. Public trust in the police handling here has taken a real hit. The department put out statements defending their actions as responses to stalking complaints at Johnson's home. They say redactions were about protecting victims. But the full unredacted stuff has many questioning if that was the whole truth. Where Does This Leave the Mansells? Remember, at the heart of it all is still that elderly collector and his son who lost track of most of their $200,000 collection during the franchise handover. Bricks and Minifigs maintains they only inherited a tiny bit of inventory and that the original deal was not properly done. Lawsuits are moving forward, but the missing sets and money have not been explained to the Mansells' satisfaction. Reckless Ben's videos brought massive attention to their situation, including a GoFundMe that has helped with legal costs. His style is aggressive, sure, but the new footage makes it look like the pushback from the other side involved more than just legal channels. This scandal shows how fast a hobby dispute can drag in law enforcement and how important real transparency is. If police really did favor one business over a fair process, that is a big problem no matter what side you are on. The LEGO community thrives on trust and good deals. Right now, a lot of us are watching closely to see if the courts sort out the missing bricks and whether anyone holds the police accountable for how they handled this. It is not over yet, but these videos have definitely shifted the conversation. What do you think? Drop your takes below.

  I have the feeling - when I see who is posting this table over and over on here - that this is just a campaign so institutionals can get in cheaper. How am I remotely interested in the statistics within a 1 year window. (apart from the fact that there are many companies on that list that neither have a unique selling point (Dropbox, Doordash, Pinterest etc..) nor were they economically super great investment casess with a lot of upside. It is of course very likely that SPCX will trade extremely volatile within the first year and that we will also see cash-outs by long term private equity holders once the lock-period expires. So if you have cash set aside - no investment advice - consider just not throwing it in all at once. I personally plan on playing this in 3 tranches. 1/3 today, 1/3 on the first significant draw down and then another 1/3 whenever I feel it is appropriate.

  @jasonlk I remember as a teen, Dropbox set the standard. It was Dropbox, AirBnB, and Uber - as these “new economy” startups that were changing the world. Frankly speaking, Google Drive just started to do more for me and integrated easier sharing down the road. There was no value add I was getting from Dropbox once storage got commoditized.

  @zoink You sit down and open your laptop. It's time to put some design files in Dropbox for coworkers. And ****, you need to finish your hotspot prototype. Your browser is still open on this weird design tool you got access to. Google Docs for design? Cool, but it will never work.

  Then the conversation took a turn. The technician pulled up Activity Monitor and showed him something: 23 apps were running in the background that the customer didn't have open. Adobe Creative Cloud. Spotify. Slack. Microsoft AutoUpdate. Dropbox. Google Drive sync. Three different "helper" apps installed during printer setup years ago. Each one was consuming small amounts of CPU, RAM, and battery cycles 24/7. The technician's words: "Your MacBook isn't slow because it's old. It's slow because it's running 23 jobs nobody hired it to do." System Settings → General → Login Items → look at the lists under both tabs → remove anything that doesn't need to launch automatically. The customer removed 18 of them on the spot.

  Here is what it breaks down: Local AI: Run Ollama, LM Studio, or LocalAI right on your machine instead of paying for ChatGPT. Cloud Storage: Replace Dropbox and Google Drive with Nextcloud or Syncthing so your files never leave your house. Network Privacy: Complete WireGuard and PiVPN setup guides for secure browsing. Private ***: Ditch GitHub and self-host your own repos using Gitea or GitLab.

  @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%.
