  @business Cloud storage breaches hurt differently because people assume sync means safety. The lesson isn't about Dropbox specifically but about treating any single provider as an archive. Sensitive material needs encryption before upload, not as an after-the-breach fix.

  every founder i talk to is hiring a head of community wrong. i've been that hire four times. Zynga, Wix, Dropbox, Persona. 15 years, three continents. every time the JD was wrong, the expectations were wrong, and the first 90 days were a mess until i rewrote them myself. the JD problem. most community job descriptions read like a social media manager with extra steps. "manage our Discord, post engagement content, track NPS." that tells me the founder thinks community is content moderation with a better title. a real head of community JD should say: build the infrastructure where customers trust each other enough to solve problems together, and connect that trust back to pipeline and retention. if the JD doesn't mention revenue or product feedback loops, you're hiring the wrong role. the first 90 days. at Dropbox i walked into 400M+ users and zero community infrastructure. no forums, no events, power users had no way to talk to the product team. days 1 to 30: listen. real conversations with 50 customers. find the 10 who love your product enough to evangelize it for free. those are your founding members. wrong. within 2 weeks we had an outage and I had to source folks who were talking about Dropbox in different spaces - dev forums, stackoverflow, spiceworks, hackernews and so on. I was honest enough to share what was going on, my role and where i needed their help. days 31 to 60: build the first room. not a Slack with 14 channels nobody uses. one focused format. at Persona it was a 15 person dinner for compliance leaders. at Wix it was a partner council of 80K agencies. start small, make it valuable enough that people tell their peers. days 61 to 90: prove the loop. connect a community interaction to a business outcome. a feature request that shipped. a deal that closed because a customer introduced a prospect. a churn save from a power user helping a frustrated customer. if your community hire can't show that loop by day 90, something is off. forget member count or engagement. track these: repeat attendance. show up rates. at my dinners, 90% of RSVPs show up. 99% return. pipeline influence. what happens post dinner that can be attributed to $$$? product feedback velocity. how fast does a community insight reach the product team and ship? NPS delta. at Wix, partner community members renewed at 2-3x the rate of non members. the biggest mistake is org charting community as a sub-group within a random team. community sits between product, marketing, sales, and customer success. it touches biz relationships, partnerships, revenue, retention, and product roadmap. treat it that way. hire someone who's built it before and give them a seat at the leadership table.

  Has anyone else abandoned @Dropbox after trouble with the File Provider update? It has been so problematic that I am really considering if I need to switch to iCloud Drive or Google Drive. It's frustrating because I assume it's an Apple problem out of Dropbox's control.

  @owldreig @porterrobinson @madeon The problem with them both is they love gatekeeping the rare song behind a bad quality sounding medium so you cannot use it for clean for dj sets. For example Celine,worlds live,shepherdess,etc. at least we had hollowheart on wav and shepherdess wav was on porter’s Dropbox leak🫩

  Everyone downloads Seller Central reports manually. Every. Single. Day. The problem isn’t downloading reports. It’s remembering to do it before you need the data. AMZBoosted schedules report downloads automatically and sends them wherever you want. Google Sheets. Dropbox. Telegram.

  We’ve been paying customers for years and Dropbox is completely down on our end, bringing our work to a halt. Are you currently experiencing an outage? What’s the ETA for a fix? @DropboxSupport

  @mellolais___ @LIBSCRUSHER @Dropbox I went on their site and it does say that the .com access is having issues. I guess we just wait it out.

  Twitter did not explode online first. It exploded in a hallway. In 2007, Twitter was still small. Most people online did not care. So the team did not try to shout at the whole internet. They went to SXSW. They put two big screens in the corridor. People at the event sent a text. That text showed up on the wall in front of everyone. One person posted. Ten people saw it. Then those ten posted too. That is how usage jumped. Not from a giant ad. From one room full of the right people. This is the growth lesson most founders miss. You do not need the whole market on day one. You need one place where your first users already stand. A campus. A conference. A WhatsApp group. A Discord. One street. One event. Dropbox did this on Hacker News. Tinder did this at campus parties. Airbnb did this when hotels ran out of rooms. If signups are slow, stop spraying ads everywhere. Find the one room. Make the product visible there. Let people watch other people use it. That is how early growth actually starts.

  You have spent months building your WordPress site. What happens the day it suddenly goes offline? 😱 It happens all the time. We have heard several scary stories. A plugin conflict, a bad update, or a security breach can wipe out your complete website without any warning. The scary part is that most site owners assume their host has them fully covered, right up until they actually need to restore. We have tested countless backup tools on our own projects, so we put together the exact methods we trust to keep a site safe. Here is what you will learn: ✅ Pick the Right Method: Compare backup plugins, host backups, and manual cPanel or FTP so you know which fits your skill level. ✅ Back Up the Full Site: Save your database, themes, plugins, and uploads together so you can restore everything, not just your posts. ✅ Automate It With @DuplicatorWP: Schedule daily or weekly backups and send them straight to the cloud so you never have to remember. ✅ Store Copies Off Your Server: Keep backups in Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3 so one server crash never takes your site and its backup at once. ✅ Restore in Minutes: Use a disaster recovery link to bring your site back even when it is completely broken. Ready to protect all that hard work before disaster strikes? Read our complete step-by-step guide from the link in the comments 👇 (Link is in the thread below)

  Dropbox confirms roughly 5,000 accounts were accessed between August 4-21 after attackers exploited a flaw in Lenovo's email verification. Attackers registered fraudulent Lenovo IDs using victims' emails, and Dropbox's SSO trusted that without confirming it against the real account, letting them in with no password. A federated login is only as strong as the weakest identity provider behind it.

  Tips to new @OmarchyLinux users from a new Omarchy user 1. If you are coming from a Mac and have installed Omarchy on a Windows machine: Your keyboard most likely has start button and then the Alt button. Swap these so Super key becomes command where the left thumb usually rests. I asked Claude Code to do this for me. 2. If your mouse has a scrollwheel: Super + mousewheel scroll up and down switches desktop spaces. This is besides the usual Super + <number> and Super + Tab / Super + Shift + Tab to switch spaces. In addition to these, I have AI set up Ctrl + Alt + arrow. 3. Missing Alfred/Raycast? Install omacast. 4. If your laptop is connected to an external monitor with bluetooth mouse and keyboard and you find that the computer is not waking up (after you walk away for a while) when you press any key or move the mouse, ask AI to fix this for you. 5. The default font size of text in Claude Code is 12px which is small for my aging eyes. Ask AI to change it to 16px. 6. Todoist does not have a native app for Linux and so if you miss its Quick Add feature, ask AI to set this up. It added the functionality and assigned Super + Q to it. Later, I came to know there's a community plugin for it. But I am happy with what Claude did. 7. If you use Dropbox, chances are, the total available space in your account is not accurate because it is hardcoded in Omarchy at this time. Ask AI to fix this for you. 8. If/when the fan in your computer is spinning fast and is noisy, ask AI to find out the reason and fix. In my case, it turned out to be Performance profile in the Lenovo laptop. Claude changed it to Balanced and now it's all fine. 9. Get familiar with keyboard shortcuts.
