    Nice, Google Drive / Dropbox is still the go-to for a lot of people, especially for bigger files. But man, the moment you share that link… “Download required to view properly.” Preview looks compressed and ugly Sometimes the link breaks if permissions change Or the client just never downloads it That’s the exact frustration SnapVid @snap_vid was built to fix: Upload once → permanent streaming link No compression, instant play, beautiful previews (even on WhatsApp), no “download first” nonsense. If you ever get tired of the Drive preview pain on your next share, give it a quick test, free tier is unlimited for basics. What’s the main reason you usually pick Drive? File size? Ease? Or something else? Curious to know!

    Why did Microsoft OneDrive just delete all of my Dropbox files? What a fracking PITA. You just created a huge problem for me. This might make me jump to a Mac. I am so disgusted and frustrated by what Microsoft running Windows 11 just did to my computer. Dozens of years of documents....whoosh. @Microsoft

    All of a sudden, when trying to upload Voice Record 7 audio recording files from my iPhone to Dropbox I now have to login to Dropbox and get an emailed verification code .... WHY??? All the convenience has gone. It's enshittification.

    The fix is simple: do not use one generic code/ folder for all long-lived branches. Use separate Dropbox folders whose names encode the intended branch: code_main/ code_experimentation_main/ code_experimentation_main_name1Sandbox/ code_experimentation_main_name2Sandbox/

    @Dropbox Maybe it is a skill issue, like ppl keep saying....bc they're WAY behind a company like X.

    @0xajka @Dropbox Have you tried doing the whole uninstall, reinstall? I had to do that one time with Dropbox. It was horrible. Now I have even a worse problem - but it’s not exactly Dropbox’s fault.

    @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.

    @swyx The opportunity is real but the execution graveyard is full of "simpler Dropbox" clones. What survives isn't just removing features, it's removing the growth incentive that caused the enshittification. That's a culture problem, not a product problem.

    Writing things down isn't weak—it's like training wheels for your ideas. Your brain's not built to be an infinite Dropbox; it's for connecting dots, not hoarding them.
