  @jimmy_dore Netflix has data centers. So does Dropbox, and cloud flare. Data center does not equal surveillance. It boils down to who owns and operates it.

  YC Insights. (@Aiagent_s) reported 4 minutes ago

  March 23, 2018. Dropbox IPOs on NASDAQ. Surges 40%+ day one. Market cap: $12B First YC company ever to go public. Drew still owned 30%. The real lesson: both rejections were right. Both made the company better. Treat each rejection as a specific diagnosis. Then fix that specific thing.

  @ZARA people beware of returning an order to their Dropbox in store. I returned an item on 28th March and still haven’t received payment back I’ve had to follow up and although I have an email to say that it’s been returned and refund would issue 9-11 days still nothing

  @BusinessInsider 📌 Dropbox founder Drew Houston is transitioning out of the CEO role, with Ashraf Alkarmi stepping in as co‑CEO before becoming sole chief executive. Houston will shift into an executive chairman position after a transition period in which he and Alkarmi share the co‑CEO title. 🧭 Leadership Transition: - Drew Houston is stepping down after nearly two decades leading Dropbox, moving into an executive chairman role following a period as co‑CEO with Ashraf Alkarmi. - Alkarmi, previously Dropbox’s head of product and general manager of its core business, becomes co‑CEO effective immediately and will later assume the role of sole CEO. 🧩 Background on Ashraf Alkarmi: - Joined Dropbox in late 2024 after senior product roles at Vimeo, Amazon (including Amazon Freevee), and Meta. - Credited internally with making Dropbox more responsive to customers and pushing for bolder product innovation. - Will receive an annual salary of $825,000, a target bonus equal to base salary, and $12.65M in restricted stock units vesting over several years. 📉 Company Context: - Dropbox’s market cap is just over $6 billion, roughly half its value at IPO in 2018. - Competition from Google, Apple, and Microsoft has pressured its core storage business, with revenue growth slowing to under 1% year‑over‑year. - The company reported $629.5M in Q1 2026 revenue and more than 18 million paying users. 🚀 Houston’s Next Chapter: - Houston, now 43, says his next move will be entrepreneurial and AI‑focused, not retirement.

  @thevelvetmonke @fortelabs @tloncorpbot The graph does move with the docs. The graph is the set of links embedded in the documents. I've moved my vaults around from one folder to another, from Dropbox to a regular folder to use Sync, and had no trouble with any of it. That I tell Claude to move the vault and wait a couple of minutes for the move to complete might explain why I find it so easy, but I see no reason to do it in any other way.

  Drew Houston got rejected by every major VC in Silicon Valley before Dropbox became worth $10B. His story shows why persistence beats perfection. 2007: Houston demos file syncing to VCs. The response was brutal: → "This already exists" → "Google will just build this" → "Not a big enough market" One VC told him: "Why would anyone pay for storage when it's getting cheaper every day?" Houston's mistake: He was pitching technology, not the problem it solved. The pivot moment came when he made a simple 4-minute demo video showing Dropbox in action. No technical jargon. Just: drag file here, access it anywhere. The video hit the front page of Digg. 75,000 signups overnight. Suddenly VCs were calling him. Sequoia led his Series A. The same firm that initially passed. The lesson: VCs don't invest in features — they invest in problems worth solving. Houston learned to sell the pain point (lost files, USB drives, email attachments) before selling the solution. Today Dropbox has 700M+ users and went public at a $9B valuation. The rejections weren't about the product. They were about the pitch. What's the biggest lesson you've learned from getting rejected?

  The ******** at the corrupt American Fork Police Department forgot to set the dropbox to private, so they accidentally made all the unredacted videos public. Before they realized their errors, somebody downlaoded them. Here it is.

  How $9.99 a month for “just one app” became the most profitable business model of the last decade. The math behind subscription creep Adobe had a very huge effect on Photoshop boxed sales in 2013, same software, now $20.99 a month forever. Revenue went from $4.4 billion to over $21 billion in ten years. The product didn’t change, the billing did. Companies Learned Something Brutal: - People fight a $200 charge - People ignore a $9.99 one So they sliced everything into $9.99s. Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+, Peacock, Paramount+, Audible, Kindle Unlimited, NYT, WSJ, Substacks, Notion, Dropbox, iCloud, Google One. Add a gym membership and a meal kit and you’re at $400 a month before rent. The Trick: every individual service feels reasonable, the bundle feels invisible, banks don’t surface the total and apps don’t show what else you’re paying but you have to add it up yourself. Most people are off by 60% when asked to guess their monthly subscription spend. Banks reviewed this in 2024, off by $130 a month on average. The fix isn’t dramatic. Pull last month’s statement, highlight every recurring charge, cancel three. Most people save $80+ a month with that one exercise. Auritrack does this automatically, every recurring charge gets a tag, the forgotten ones get flagged. Follow for more money stories.

  @grok @alexabelonix @grok now i want to design a crochet motif of you.. but that would be inexcusable (says some voice in my head). talk about proto-guilty pleasures. funny how we're talking about a musical tool hook then a fiber work tool hook asserts itself. in the round-robin i've been dizzily going down the gpt connector rabbithole, "connect Dropbox" was scarily tempting. i didn't trust that sort of **** long before your people were part of it --it's not ph3333r of AI that says No. the company that scooped up Trello has a fascinating sales presentation.

  @Dropbox Like, gee, I wish I could make a ****** app and it just sell and I don't even need to fix bugs or introduce features. Must be nice if you're a big *** corporation. Only the people suffer.
