  @DropboxSupport whenever I login on desktop, it prompts a push notification to my mobile, and when I review the notification on my mobile it says "Time's up" It's been over 15 minutes bla bla, although not even a minute has passed. This has never worked for me.

  @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!

  @kasandraalexis_ I think the smallest, 128GB. I don't store much on their and don't use a lot of apps so I haven't ran into a problem except with photos, and that's just from the cloud in general. I have 3TB with Dropbox, so I don't get high storage devices lol.

  @LiliH65289916 @LukeDashjr In no way does Bitcoin become Dropbox. It's a terrible medium for storage. Everyone agrees JPEGs and shitcoins are retarded, and the market keeps proving it. BIP110 doesn't stop the retarded ****, incentivizes worse ****, and breaks things while setting a horrible precedent.

  @solitaryasmr You could always set up your own personal server for cheap; it'd be much less to run than paying for Dropbox. You don't even need any special hardware; just use an old tower or laptop. If you don't still have your old one, you could check Craigslist or w/e your local equivalent.

  The bottleneck was never code. It was understanding. Airbnb didn't win because they built faster. Slack didn't dominate because they shipped more features. Dropbox didn't succeed because they had cleaner code. They understood their users' problems deeply. Built precisely what was needed. Nothing more.

  @drummatick dropbox is just an FTP server!

  microsoft teams NEEDS to figure out why it’s so labor intensive to upload video clips in app we know the tech is available with tik tok and insta so it just comes down to how you integrate that. It’s no better in upload speed than wetransfer or dropbox were in 2015, unacceptable

  37% of employees knowingly break their company's AI policy. Not accidentally. Knowingly. Shadow IT was USB drives and unapproved Dropbox accounts. Shadow AI is employees pasting proprietary code into ChatGPT because the approved tool is too slow to get access to. 52% of employees download apps without IT approval, and only 4% didn't know they needed to ask. They know the rules. They just decided the rules aren't worth following. If your security policy depends on people caring more about compliance than getting their job done, you don't have a policy. You have a suggestion.

  Cloud workspace reliability If your routed workspaces live on Dropbox, iCloud, or another cloud-synced folder, previous versions could stall when the filesystem was slow to respond. v0.1.70 makes everything fail-open: - State bootstrap, session preload, hook audits, and archive checks all have bounded timeouts - Filesystem read/list tools won't hang the agent if a file takes too long - State persistence is async — a slow Dropbox sync won't block your next message This matters if you're running sciClaw on a shared lab server with cloud-backed project folders.

  Alas, my Dropbox has now been shut down for too much traffic. (I'm not going to pay for this sort of thing, I don't run a charity.) Snooze and lose.

  @ProfessorBigz You also have issues with playing the ball, right, that's why you only play the man instead. Sad. And not only that, you're also completely wrong. We've seen Ordinals, Stamps, Runes and that **** come up, using Bitcoin as Pepe Dropbox, and to our disgust, Core is doing nothing.

  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?

  2) 🟡 DePIN --- Decentralized Storage → Covered this before but kinda forgot. So wanted to revise it again. ---------------------- The problem with traditional cloud storage (AWS, Dropbox, etc) is that: → is centralized and has a single point of failure → is prone to censorship resistance Decentralized storage tries to solve that the help of blockchain. ---------------------- → How it works: Instead of storing it on servers, data gets stored on individual nodes. Nodes are storage solutions that individuals contribute. So in other words, it gets people to contribute their storage, and stores them on such devices. A common misconception is that the blockchain is used for data storage. • That isn’t the case. Its just used to keep track of whats being stored. ---------------------- → An analogy: blockchain = receipt system, where the auditor checks Node network = the actual warehouse where your stuff sits Because nodes get paid to store data, its important to verify they actually are storing it. And not taking the money while storing nothing. To verify if the files are still there, the network challenges these nodes to solve cryptographic proofs. It actively challenges these nodes randomly, so that they will be incentivized to keep the storage up and running. ---------------------- → Little more in-depth: Another key part of decentralized storage is the use of IPFS. Instead of the traditional data storage HTTP, IPFS locates content based off its unique content fingerprint. When combined with the blockchain, this allows for the protocol to retrieve the data users stored on it.

  @jenvanlaar @Hounsizzle It's valuable currency. The outer envelope is where you sign the affidavit. How would you catch a culprit ? That is the problem we face. Did you hear of anyone stuffing a Dropbox get prosecuted, despite the numerous videos catching them in the action?
