  @TaoFeek182 Tbh, I could not download it, the Dropbox was not working. I'd share with you once I get hold of it.

  @TodayUpdates0 @RedLineReportt They can be if they want as far as I'm concerned. But the problem is.. that's not how they are voting. It's all the mail in and absentee voting and the anytime dropbox and the counting til they win that's the problem.

  @Burnstation3D @gonecozycrafts The cloud was never cheaper. It was hyped to us as cheaper and more convenient. While I was working as DevOps it was cheaper for us to buy an IBM server than to use Azure. And with this AI thingy it's only gonna get more expensive. My Dropbox was hacked and I lost some Google docs because of their error. I have trust issues with cloud

  I re-uploaded videos to Dropbox. Everybody has 24 hours to download before I take them down to remedy Dropbox deleting them.

  @DropboxSupport I tried both on every browser AND the app on phone. It just gives me errors when I try to delete anything or upload anything. It's a problem on YOUR end, please fix it. I was able to upload stuff just a few moments ago until this issue started!

  A decade-old Quora post on Dropbox that is a better product masterclass than any book: Q: Dropbox: Why is Dropbox more popular than other programs with similar functionality? A: Well, let's take a step back and think about the sync problem and what the ideal solution for it would do: - There would be a folder. - You'd put your stuff in it. - It would sync. 
They built that. Why didn't anyone else build that? I have no idea. "But," you may ask, "so much more you could do! What about task management, calendaring, customized dashboards, virtual white boarding. More than just folders and files!" No, shut up. People don't use that crap. They just want a folder. A folder that syncs… That is what it does.

  Update: I was able to get the download link the mod was using to pull the .exe on launch taken down through Dropbox. It won't stay down for long, but it throws a wrench in their operation for now.

  @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.

  Drew Houston got rejected by 76 VCs before Dropbox became worth $12B. But the rejections weren't random — they revealed exactly what he needed to fix. 2007: Drew builds a file-syncing prototype. VCs say "there are already 20 companies doing this" and "users won't pay for storage." He realizes he's pitching the wrong thing. Storage isn't the product — seamless sync is. 2008: He creates a 4-minute demo video showing Dropbox "magically" syncing files across devices. No technical jargon. Just the experience. The video gets 75,000 signups overnight from a waiting list that didn't exist yet. Same product. Same founder. Completely different story. Key insight: Drew stopped explaining how Dropbox worked and started showing why people needed it. → Before: "We use block-level file synchronization across distributed systems" → After: "Your files, everywhere you need them" When he finally raised $1.2M from Sequoia, it wasn't because he built better technology. It was because he learned to sell the outcome, not the process. The rejections taught him something no accelerator could: how to position a technical product for mass adoption. What's the difference between how you explain your product internally versus how customers actually experience it?

  Omg OneDrive is terrible! Do better @Microsoft ! Trying to download a folder with 1000 files. OD zips, downloads, says complete. I end up with 5% of my files. Never this issue with Google Drive or DropBox.

  Dropbox tried paid ads first. Expensive. Low conversion. Stopped. Then built distribution into the product. 3,900% growth. Lesson: Test channels. Kill what doesn't pull. Double down on what does naturally.

  The ******** at the corrupt American Fork Police Department forgot to set the dropbox to private, so they accidentally made all the unredacted videos public. Before they realized their errors, somebody downlaoded them. Here it is.
