  Shadow IT used to mean employees running Dropbox without IT approval. Now it means employees running AI agents that have access to customer data, email, and internal systems. Same problem, different stakes. The liability exposure is not comparable.

  Dropbox refuses to issue annual refunds even if the payment was recent. @DropboxSupport @Dropbox

  @tarungangwani @signulll Why would you say dropbox lost PMF? Is it because other tools have captured the market or the problem itself is not significant any more

  Instead, I point Claude at the shared Dropbox link. It reads the folder structure, finds the right product, and drills down into the High Res image folders automatically.

  @SergeiShiryayev Hi Sergei, thanks for writing in. Are you downloading the file immediately, after renaming it? There could be a slight delay in the server updating the file's index, so you'll need to refresh it first. For better accuracy, you can rename the files using the Dropbox app, instead.

  Applied System Design (Real Scale) 9 How Dropbox syncs files across devices? Problem You & a colleague are offline. You both move 10,000 files into different subfolders. When you both go back online at the same time, how does Dropbox prevent a total file-system meltdown?

  @sila_beyaz @HLearningPD There’s a Dropbox link at the back. It’ll take you to a page where you can scroll down to find the RTT book. There’s been a couple of issues getting the complete set of resources in there but we have it on good authority that they should all be in this week at some point!

  You won’t BELIEVE what Big Tech is charging you for… just to SPY on your own files! $10 a month to Google… so they can read everything on their servers. $12 a month to Dropbox… so THEY can read it too. Another $10 to Apple… same story, they’re peeking! And guess what? Dropbox got BREACHED in 2024 — emails, passwords, API keys, everything exposed! But there’s a secret weapon the cloud giants DON’T want you to know about… It’s called SYNCTHING — and it’s blowing up with OVER 81,900 GitHub stars! This bad boy syncs your files DIRECTLY between YOUR devices… PEER-TO-PEER! NO cloud. NO servers. NO middleman snooping. EVER. Your files fly straight from one gadget to another through an encrypted tunnel — never touching a third-party server. Not even Syncthing’s! Here’s why it’s INSANE: → Real-time sync across unlimited devices → Military-grade TLS encryption with perfect forward secrecy → Zero port forwarding drama — works on LAN or internet → Share folders selectively with whoever you want → Built-in file versioning — screw up? Just roll it back! → Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android… even Solaris! → Beautiful web dashboard, no account, no sign-up — just install and go! The craziest part? There is NO Syncthing company. NO cloud. NO server farm holding your data hostage. It’s just pure open-source magic running between YOUR devices! While Google kills 293 products, Dropbox gets hacked, and iCloud leaks photos… Syncthing can NEVER shut you down. Because your files were NEVER on their servers! Cloud prices? Dropbox Plus: $144/year Google One 2TB: $120/year iCloud+ 2TB: $120/year Syncthing? $0. Forever. Unlimited devices. Unlimited storage. YOUR hardware. YOUR rules. 349 contributors. 464 releases. 5,000+ forks. Battle-tested since 2013. Run by a Swedish non-profit. 100% open source. Free. Forever. Stop feeding the cloud spies… Your files deserve better. Try Syncthing NOW — before they raise prices again! 🚨

  @SamMillerWright Alright - found some of your customers: Goldman Sachs, Spotify, Chase, Twitter, Dropbox, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Uber, Salesforce and Apple. Sound right? Going to use these to track down real prospects at your dream customers and map intro paths to them

  Let me explain what just happened… An AI just launched that eliminates all marketing jobs. Not some of them. All of them. SEO. Social media. Content writing. Ad creation. Brand design. Pitch decks. Community management. Reddit posts. Email campaigns. All of it. A marketing team costs $200K to $500K a year. An agency costs $10K to $20K a month. A freelance designer charges $5K per project. This does all of it. Every single function. For almost nothing. Backed by General Catalyst. Jeffrey Katzenberg. Executives from Dropbox, Stripe, and Google. $7.5 million in funding. Thousands already using it. And it has an API. Meaning other AI agents feed it work automatically. AI writes the copy. AI designs the assets. AI posts it. AI optimizes it. No human ever touches it. A full marketing department. End to end. Automated. A week ago AI replaced coders. Before that writers. Before that customer service. Now every marketing job. All at once. From one launch. Every single week another AI drops and another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing down. It’s speeding up…

  @mistressdivy I hate OneDrive but I have to use it. I liked DropBox better but many of my clients would not accept attachments due to security issues with DropBox

  I just gave myself a five hour anxiety attack by trying to move all of my backups of pictures from Google to Dropbox and then running out of space on Dropbox and not being able to increase my storage because Google Play is broken on my laptop 🫠

  For the billionth time @Apple is failing to properly sync my files across devices. It’s hard to believe iCloud is still so incompetent after so many years. I’m sure it’s not a trivial problem, but @Dropbox gets it right every single time. Surely isn’t too hard for Apple?
