  @DropboxSupport Web is fine (Firefox on Mac); for me it is your app on iPhone that is broken - no photos upload to Camera Uploads. Error is "some photos couldn't be uploaded". I retry and it is the same.

  I want Grok to win. But it's useless about 90% of the time I try to use it as a free user. Dropbox got rich by offering limited free access. Gemini works 100% of the time. OpenAI works most of the time. Anthropic works most of the time. Cleary xAI is in fiscal trouble.

  @levelsio The real magic will be the second part. I used to pay for an app called FileThis that would automagically download statements to a Dropbox folder. They shut down. Saved hours each month - need to vibe code a replacement!

  If this app was a phone I would have thrown it across the room by now. Breakups when I use voice to text. It's broken integration with Dropbox so I can't post my memes. And this has been going on for a long time. When will this be fixed?

  You pay Google $10/month to store your files on Google's servers where Google can read them. Dropbox was breached in 2024. Emails, passwords, API keys all exposed. There's a tool that syncs files directly between your devices. No cloud. No server. No middleman. It's called Syncthing. 81,900 stars on GitHub. - Peer-to-peer, files never touch a third-party server - TLS encryption with perfect forward secrecy - No account, no sign-up, install it, share a device ID, done - File versioning, selective folder sharing, works over LAN and internet - Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and more Dropbox: $144/year. Google One: $120/year. Syncthing: $0. Unlimited devices. Unlimited storage. Forever. There is no Syncthing server. Nothing between your devices except an encrypted tunnel.

  @SlmnMANUTD @WindowsLatest I didn't care about updating to the latest build. I cared about how Windows 11's AI deleted my Dropbox files from not only my desktop, but Dropbox itself! I managed to find them in DropBox's web Deleted Files folder and recover them. On top of this Windows decided to move all of my files that were on my hard drive to One Drive without my permission. And in the process of doing so created multiple subfolders D: OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/OneDrive/My Documents/etc I brought it over the BestBuy to repair the OS because there were other problems, so I cannot tell you how many layers I had to click through to get to my actual documents. I was able to recover the apps that we affected by the update (ScanSnap, Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat, etc) doing a System Restore. But that didn't help with my files.

  Growing a SaaS is like debugging a system. You don’t fix everything at once. You isolate one issue, solve it, then move forward. Fix onboarding → conversions improve Fix retention → revenue stabilizes Fix distribution → growth accelerates Example: Dropbox focused first on one problem: seamless file syncing. They didn’t try to build a full ecosystem on day one. They nailed one core use case, then expanded. One problem at a time. That’s how real scale happens.

  And finally, I find the problem is In the " Remotely Save " option, there is a set name "Change The Remote Base Directory) I need to find the name of the file folder in Dropbox, and fill it in this parameter... So everything is Light....Sync ....

  @TaoFeek182 Tbh, I could not download it, the Dropbox was not working. I'd share with you once I get hold of it.

  Update: I was able to upload a clip via Dropbox to C4S using another Mac - maybe it has something to do with my MacBook? Even though it’s a few years old & has the latest software? Is anyone else having upload issues with #Clips4Sale?

  $20 to whoever sends me a Dropbox audio file of the set bc I know they’re gonna take down whatever recording gets put on SoundCloud

  @FinanceDirCFO But rather "subprime AI", right? SaaS stocks go down because people don't get business, and think that Dropbox, LinkedIn, Spotify, Office 365, Slack, Netflix, Instagram etc. will go out of business simply because "anyone can vibe code their own version".
