  @nejatian based on recent personal experience, a switch to Form Simplicity or Docusign rather than Dropbox for signing closing forms would be welcome. Dropbox has terrible mobile interface when signing digitally. @Opendoor $open

  @taufiqintech unclear. enterprises are pretty slow to switch to anything which gives cursor some leeway to catch up. the most dominant products in the enterprise arent necessarily the best ones (e.g. box vs dropbox)

  @SuiNetwork @thewalrus @WalrusProtocol Every file you store on Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud — Google owns the server. Google can delete it. Google can go down. Walrus changes that. It's a decentralized storage protocol built by Mysten Labs, where your data lives across hundreds of independent nodes worldwide.

  @rseroter @Dropbox Dropbox still at 87GB before the fix is wild. Mono repo size creep is silent until someone's waiting an hour to clone on day one.

  @Dropbox And fix your passkey verification flow. The code you send doesn't even work no matter how many times you type it in or copy and paste it. The government needs to start telling these apps to get better. They suck like most things in this **** country, ever since Dems ****** it

  Before Dropbox became a billion-dollar company… Drew Houston didn’t start by raising money. He started with a problem.

  @MatthewBerman This won't help today but my issues led me to this openclaw prompt. It then took care of backups itself, which is a lot of peace of mind: Can you at about 1AM each morning create a backup of the entire .openclaw directory and move it to Dropbox root level? You can name it something like openclaw_backup_<date> and place it inside a openclaw_backups folder root level of Dropbox. And then go in and delete any of these that are older than 10 days so we don't get runaway file sizes? Thanks!

  1. The Y Combinator Idea Validator "You are a senior partner at Y Combinator who has evaluated 50,000+ startup applications and funded companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Dropbox. You know within 5 minutes whether an idea has real potential or is a waste of time. I need a brutally honest validation of my business idea before I invest a single hour building it. Validate: - Problem clarity: is this solving a real painful problem or a 'nice to have' that nobody will pay for - Market size estimate: how many people have this problem and how much would they pay to solve it - Existing solutions: what are people currently using and why is my approach meaningfully better - Willingness to pay test: 5 questions I can ask real people today to confirm they'd actually buy this - Unfair advantage check: what do I personally have (skills, network, experience) that makes me the right person to build this - Business model clarity: how exactly does this make money subscription, one-time, marketplace, or ads - First 10 customers: who specifically are my first 10 paying customers and where do I find them - MVP definition: the absolute smallest version I can build to test if people will pay - Kill criteria: what specific evidence in the next 7 days would prove this idea is dead - YC verdict: fund, pass, or pivot with the single most important reason Format as a Y Combinator-style application review with a brutally honest score out of 10 and a clear go/no-go recommendation. My idea: [DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS IDEA, WHO IT'S FOR, WHAT PROBLEM IT SOLVES, AND WHY YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD PAY]"

  @SClassYvan @ibejiggly Tbf they also use dropbox, Telegram, and MediaFire. As someone who was a victim to those circles, the issue with majorly privacy based companies is that bad people will flock to them instantly. There are completely normal people who use MEGA, BUT (1/2)

  Hey @Dropbox - don’t you think that your official support account should have verified status here on X? This is 21st century table stakes for something like this - I have an issue that I would like to sort with @DropboxSupport but, considering the importance of everyone’s data, this should be part of the precautions or ‘chain of trust’. Please get this sorted - I’ve been waiting 40 minutes and counting for a chat agent on the website too! 😤

  @bad_alhaji @RoundtableSpace Yes, mostly true. Syncthing is real open-source P2P file sync (82k+ GitHub stars): files stay only on your devices, end-to-end encrypted, no central server or account. Free forever, unlimited storage/devices. Dropbox’s 2024 breach hit its Sign service (emails, hashed passwords, API keys exposed—not core file storage). Google One charges ~$10/mo for 2TB and can access/scan files per its policy. Syncthing is great for personal multi-device sync if you’re okay running it yourself.

  @Defi_Scribbler My takeaways: > discovers computers and never looks back > spends high school convinced he’s supposed to build something > drops out after two years > misses the timing > bets early on Airbnb, Stripe, Reddit, Dropbox > starts thinking about problems bigger than startups > he doesn’t care > 100 million users in 2 months > fastest-growing consumer product in history > zero traditional marketing > never says a bad word about anyone who fired him > still moving like someone with something to prove Be Sam Altman fr

  Dropbox is moving painfully slow tonight. 😫

  Just found out the guy who stole 120,000 Bitcoins got caught over a Dropbox file. What a genius. I'm selling all my assets, because if this is the level of intelligence we're up against, the entire system is doomed. I mean, who needs security when you've got human error, right?

  @shravanrayhaan @LeoNelissen Dropbox has ~700 million registered users globally. Latest reported: 18.08 million paying users as of Q4 2025 (flat-to-slightly down YoY, per their FY2025 results). Q1 2026 earnings due May 7. Paying users drive the bulk of their ~$2.5B ARR.
