Tychique Esteve (@TychiqueY) reportedDay 4 building Verytis in public. I've been pushing hard to find first beta testers. Reddit 1,200+ views, real conversations, zero installs. X engagement, validation, zero installs. Direct DMs sent, read, zero responses. Everyone describes the problem in their own words. Nobody takes the step to test. So today I changed approach. I just submitted to Hacker News the community that broke Dropbox open in 2007. If the problem is real and the solution makes sense, this is where I'll find out. Watching the thread now.

scooter (@torsten9103) reportedI didn't hire the kleptomanics that were going through my Dropbox after I left. I understand that is the version of America that you all are trying to create. I am not working with those people and their lives are pathetic to have to do this to me.

Josh Peterson (@jdpeterson) reportedThe connectors are trash. Tried them yesterday. First off, there's no Dropbox connector, so had to install the Dropbox MCP. It forgets Dropbox is installed. And then tried installing a Slack MCP, but it kept saying it wasn't recognized. And then finally, I tried having it use connectors in a Grok Task, creatinga markdown report in Google Drive, update a CRM in Sheets, and create an accompanying issue in Linear. Grok lied multiple times saying it completed the tasks when it didn't touch the CRM, it created half baked headings for the report, and the Linear issue was a bare skeleton, all tasks ChatGPT and Codex can do with ease. The connectors are not ready for prime time

Mohit Sindhwani (@onghu) reported@ocornut @RichardKogelnig Actually, some times the new menu is faster and the classic menu is much slower... but then sometimes, the new menu shows 3 entries called "Loading..." and that's terrible, too! I think one of my W11 PCs has almost instant context menu - the Dropbox notes were from that one.

Lagoon Labs (@LagoonLabsMv) reportedDropbox is doubling down on virtual-first while everyone else pushes return to office - their people chief says hybrid is the worst of all worlds.

RealHD (@Purified_HD) reportedUpdate: 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.

mark rigdon (@markrigdon) reported@Dropbox Been a dropbox user since 2009. But I’m now starting to question after 17 years if we can actually use this service reliably because we’ve now been trying to recover a botched sync across four business computers for five days now and three separate dropbox support people that have yet to actually fix the problem. they can’t even seem to figure out what the problem is across the three of them as they pass the buck. it’s making Dropbox look completely incompetent, which is bad. We just need all the files restored between a certain time that were deleted. But here we are five days in and can’t get anyone at Dropbox to actually do that. We can’t do it manually on our side because it’s simply too many files and we don’t even know what’s missing. come on guys can someone actually interact with me in real time, it’s bad enoug that Backblaze told us out of the blue that it stopped backing up Dropbox as a corporate decision as of April 17 without even telling us so I can’t grab from our back up to restore this absolute mess that completely stopped our business from using Dropbox for the last five days. can someone respond in real time so we can get this taken care of pretty please?

divyansh tiwari (@DivyanshT91162) reportedThe craziest part? Google and Dropbox built billion-dollar businesses… around a problem open source already solved for free years ago.

Dwayne (@CtrlAltDwayne) reported@swyx Brb, creating a YouTube clone. The software part is easy, it's the infrastructure for a lot of these that's the problem. Once you scale a Dropbox, Zoom or YouTube clone you start burning money fast undoubtedly.

Robert DC🛸🦾 (@RDecrypto) reported5/ Cursor turned down SpaceX's $60B offer. Now valued at $50B. 2 years ago: an open-source side project. Today: worth more than Dropbox + Slack + Pinterest combined. AI dev tools: biggest opportunity or biggest bubble in tech? What did I miss this week? 👇

Boris Gostroverhov (@gostroverhov) reportedLet me add my own perspective: this reminds me of the Dropbox story. Before Dropbox, there were already dozens of similar solutions, but they didn’t solve the users’ problem completely or in the way users actually wanted.
