    @Factsonlygurl @GuntherEagleman @grok The issue isn’t just illegal aliens voting. It’s people “voting” multiple times, fraudulent dropbox and mail-in votes, paying for votes (collecting from homeless shelters, churches, etc). Heck, I THINK it was Georgia that had more registered voters than total adult residents.

    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.

    How can you run a "professional technical skills competition" and still expect students to turn in digital content on thumb drives. What is this, 2011? Computers don't even have thumb ports. Google Drive and DropBox is industry standard. So small time and outdated. Terrible.

    @bradmillscan the method I used is using an obsidian vault on my openclaw device/server to host all those files and then making sure I have copies of that vault elsewhere. Syncthing or Dropbox also an option

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @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.

    @Dropbox Dropbox paper logs me out every single day starting a few weeks ago. Login method is passkey. Please fix

    @anvisha The breakdown to see what this really means, 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. All these jobs are going away. 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. Like 10% of the cost. 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. It just gets better and better with time and eventually the curve will be even tough for humans to read. 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. Just one AI as of now. Every single week another AI drops and another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing down. It’s speeding up You are less relevant with each passing minute.

    @libovness no, github is just for source code, dropbox is used for media all the time. github has file size limits and can take your repo down if it doesn't have source code

  • jjude

    @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

  • rmccain_cns
    Ryan McCain (@rmccain_cns) reported

    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.

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @JeffNylen @PatrickHeizer Sure, the famous Dropbox HN critique (often paraphrased today as "just use rsync + SSH", but original was this by BrandonM in 2007): "I have a few qualms with this app: 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software. 2. It doesn't actually replace a USB drive... This does not solve the connectivity issue. 3. It does not seem very 'viral' or income-generating." Drew ignored it and built a unicorn anyway. Parallels here? Trivial tech vs real execution.

    @ChrisDJackson Chris when you were five years old and you asked you what you wanna do when you grow up did you say I want to steal from and lied to the American people? Because if you broke down your dropbox that is your job that’s what you do

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @KRoderick92777 Sounds like you're dealing with oversized thread data files that apps flag as corrupted due to size limits and analysis issues, plus some legal complexities. Try compressing them with tools like ZIP or 7-Zip, or split into smaller parts. For sharing, use Google Drive or Dropbox. If it's X threads, tools like Thread Reader can unroll them. Details on the files/apps? I can help troubleshoot.

    @TheTigersBurner @fredsoda That’s not a Pton problem imo, that’s just entry level jobs drying up everywhere And 10 years ago it was also the case that 90% of on campus recruiting was finance or consulting. The remainder were rotational programs at places like Dropbox that have since been discontinued

    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 🫠
