  Despite me having proven him wrong about the exact requirement table issue he pinned on me as a “it’s her problem, shut her up” (Dropbox has the scoresheet proving I was not out of line, they were), I don’t think he can ever be wrong. That is just technical error on his part.

  track back to just over a year to now. i'd built an automated ecommerce flow that took a whole store end to end. seo would research trends, products, and map those into .js scripts which would launch prompts that read those research files. that would feed an image gen prompt which created designs, set to specific standard. i'd generate them, and then ANOTHER prompt, would check the images, score them with a criteria, and either move them to an accepted folder, or move them to an archive folder. the accepted folders, would automatically fire a script which would open photoshop, map the image to smart layers, in a 'product shot' template i'd made, and then export all of the final product shots to another folder, and then exported the flat designs which would be used for the products. another script took the product images, did visual lookups, generated all product descriptions, renamed the images and generated the seo text. it ran optimizations locally via a jpegoptim and oxipng script. it then uploaded them to dropbox, and via API, would generate a dropbox link map. i had one barebones csv template, which i'd run a ps1 script through to map json files into the csv rows, and insert the dropbox link map. all my images, links, followed the exact same slugs, so it turned 2 hours of manual work into a 5 second bulk rename and insert. it then converted that csv into json, which then itself converted that json into ld-json for product rich listings. ai would write the product description based on a dataseo keywords, and googletrends json file that would run on every product type. collecting keywords for that specific product. it also formed it around brand profiles, copy guides and other things. this was sonnet 3 days, GPT 4.0 days, and it STILL wrote great copy when it had the right guidance. in the .js file, i'd replace all em dashes with a hyphen if they ever appeared. i built a custom product uploader, built my own php plugin which synced to local .js files and connected via rest. it was (and still is) one of the best wc product uploaders that exist, as it completely resets filterlookups only for that product, and is lightning fast because i upload it directly into woocommerce rows from json. no importers, no wordpress malarkey, or WC rest needed. it was 50x faster than wc's own CSV import. the images would be uploaded via ftp, and then on detection, would sync those to the media library, and i'd upload the image meta from the seo run, so they all had captions/alt text etc. it took what would be 3-5 hours of manual work per product, and congested it into a 2 minute image to fully live product system. after that, i'd export sales data, the ai was constantly learning, sales data feeding back to files, which would then teach the ai what products work, what doesn't. what copy worked, what copy didn't. that would then flow back into the original source files which told the ai what images to gen and what products to launch. all of it was local on my pc. i wasn't selling an saas. it was just something that worked for my very particular setup. the thing about it is; i built that mostly with GPT 4.0 and a little bit of 3.5! mostly copy and pasting code manually from the chats in chatGPT. all the plugins, the php, everything. then some of it got improved inside vscode back on the old original copilot plans, when $10 used to last you an entire month of none stop coding. this was before n8n, before agents were even a thing. all of that I built very specifically for myself, local, syncing folder to folder, json file to json file. python scripts watching files, and .ps1 files that would follow up with other .ps1 files, which launched .js files which contained prompts for AI, and hitting the openAI API's whenever I needed the AI layer. eventually i built a terminal tool, which would allow me to run the scripts from the terminal, and i'd manually type in the slugs for which products i wanted processed. all files would sit in specific folders, and scripts would do the rest. i was so excited about that, giving my terminal app a shortcut icon and putting it onto my taskbar. that was a year ago. fast forward to now. the game has changed so much. ANYTHING and i mean anything is possible now. people 'new' to codex, and CC etc don't know how good they have it. my advantage is that i have a year of scripts, a year of tools. i've laid the SYSTEMS in place, to fully map out entire features, precisely, and organized, and build out projects, in one hour, and have it implemented within the next. entire saas features - mousework. but i've had this ******* idea for so long, to build a fully automated, self learning ecom business, that launches products end to end based on it's own research, writing, and growth, but the complexity of it previously , and being busy with life, it never got finalized. the secret is i sync it via etsy too, but they're API keys take FOREVER to aquire, but built my own etsy system, product uploader, which runs across 7 different stores. however, now, i've finally been building the replacement for it. i'll be able to run that exact same system, except this time through a full app, with a canvas, and agent systems instead of .ps1 scripts. not to say i won't run scripts; they're an integral part of any automated workflow, but now it has superpowers, and it can do so so so much more. all the ideas I wanted to do, automated, fully, end to end. not only that, but i moved away from woocommerce entirely. instead i just built my own website builder, which is also fully automated end to end. my brand profiles, my artwork system? i'm still using those, just for more things. now i can launch 50 brands just like it, running the same system, all in about 5 minutes. whether it's saas, local service, or online ecom. i also built an ai automated ad builder. it takes my brands images, or generates images. i've got background removers, and full skills and agents which fully generate the ads for me. it mixes all that into seedance videos, and posts in logos etc. now i take those image/videos, and build instagram, tiktok, facebook vids, generate descriptions, and upload them automatically. it has an every growing library to source from, templates to use, and the system derives right with the websites, so all themes/styles match precisely to the brand. this is why it's so great building for yourself. the amount of reusability you get with it, the fact it's free forever, can never be beaten. none of these saas companies get it. and they're heading in the wrong direction. we could already DO half of what these companies are doing. my own personal SEO system, which i built for my automated web builder, is already 10x better than any yoast, rankmath etc. i skip expensive ahrefs, semrush, and just rebuild their services myself, using API, which is 100x cheaper. except this time it FEEDS my system, and i don't need to lay a finger on it. nobody cares about these little one off apps that won't exist in a year. they're either failing to see the future, or they're hoping for an early exit before they know the dominos start falling. and they don't get it. their 'app' is just a little tiny module in something that thinks bigger. people will want PRIVATE systems. all speaking to each other. not 1200 integrations and 1200 invoices to send to, that don't even have a ******* brain. i'm not selling anything yet. but if you're interested in seeing how i think about automation, then stay a while and listen. the tool i'm building will absolutely help you too. but i'll be honest. i'm actually quite scared to release it, solely down to how powerful it is. not many people do it like i do, and i'm finally on here to tell the world. the only winners will be the ones prepared for cannabilism. ready for war. they call it war rooms, yet they sit around eating donuts provided by their VC's. real builders sit in the dark, in empty rooms, grinding. if you're a cannabilistic, sick sadistic, son of *****, 666, with an idea. then drop a you know what.

  @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.

  @jasonlk I remember as a teen, Dropbox set the standard. It was Dropbox, AirBnB, and Uber - as these “new economy” startups that were changing the world. Frankly speaking, Google Drive just started to do more for me and integrated easier sharing down the road. There was no value add I was getting from Dropbox once storage got commoditized.

  2026 and we’re out here building god-tier AI that can debate physics and write symphonies, but Grok still can’t watch a Dropbox, OneDrive, or Discord video link.“Sorry, I can’t watch videos from Dropbox, OneDrive, or most direct file links.”We’re doing all this magic with AI and the video player is stuck in 2015. Fix it, xAI.

  that's a sync-direction race: your web edits haven't reached the local Dropbox copy yet, so Claude overwrites a stale file. nothing's lost though, Overleaf's History menu keeps every version to restore from. fix: let Dropbox finish pulling before Claude edits.

  Dropbox CEO Drew Houston to Step Down, CNBC Says

  Then the conversation took a turn. The technician pulled up Activity Monitor and showed him something: 23 apps were running in the background that the customer didn't have open. Adobe Creative Cloud. Spotify. Slack. Microsoft AutoUpdate. Dropbox. Google Drive sync. Three different "helper" apps installed during printer setup years ago. Each one was consuming small amounts of CPU, RAM, and battery cycles 24/7. The technician's words: "Your MacBook isn't slow because it's old. It's slow because it's running 23 jobs nobody hired it to do." System Settings → General → Login Items → look at the lists under both tabs → remove anything that doesn't need to launch automatically. The customer removed 18 of them on the spot.

  @drewhouston @Dropbox big call. the co-ceo move forces the operating-system rewrite a single ceo can postpone forever. as a 17yo technical co-founder still 1 month into a saas, the thing i'm curious about is what the first conversation looked like. did you go in with the structure already drafted, or did it surface from a problem you couldn't both keep solving the old way?

  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

  Walrus 🦭 and Walrus Memory explained in a lay man's understanding. Let's dive in: 1. What is" Walrus🦭" ?? Firstly, I want you to think of Walrus as a gaint decentralised hard drive built on Sui protocol or ecosystem. Walrus is trying to become the decentralized version of cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3, but built for Web3. In a simple analogy, think of it like this; Google Drive vs Walrus With Google Drive, your files are stored on Google's servers and Google controls the storage. If Google removes a file or service, you're dependent on them. But, With Walrus🦭 it's a different case as your files are split into many pieces. Those pieces are stored across many independent storage providers in a cheap manner as no single company controls all of your data. And the most fascinating thing is as long as enough storage providers remain online, your files can be recovered whenever you want. 2. What is "Walrus memory"?? In plain English, Walrus memory is simply the storage space used to keep data on the Walrus network. That data can be:Images, Videos, Documents, NFT media, AI datasets, Website files, Backups etc. Why does it matter? Imagine a viral meme image on Sui. Normally, the blockchain only stores a reference to the image because storing the image itself would be too expensive. Most blockchains are good at storing transactions but terrible at storing large files. @WalrusProtocol is designed to store large amounts of data cheaply while remaining decentralized. ~BlazCares

  Okay, I think I've settled for an idea. I'll probably create an Dropbox account and upload all NSFW stuff there. Everyone who's interested in getting a link, once it's there, drop an comment down here. Won't be free tho. Around 10ish € a month

  On Essentials plan. Ticket #26375062 top support evades the core issue by vaguely blaming my PC environment. I've already verified registry & OS. Stop dismissing verified technical logs and escalate this bug to the dev engineering team now. @DropboxSupport
