    @kasandraalexis_ I think the smallest, 128GB. I don't store much on their and don't use a lot of apps so I haven't ran into a problem except with photos, and that's just from the cloud in general. I have 3TB with Dropbox, so I don't get high storage devices lol.

    @rumevideo Built a full end-to-end video stack from scratch. Ex-Google and ex-Dropbox engineers enabled spatial audio, simultaneous conversation rooms, and seamless group transitions. Impossible with off-the-shelf APIs like Zoom or Twilio. Technical moat was real, but insufficient for sustainability. Shut down after ~2 years due to: - Timing: Launched in pandemic peak, lost steam post-lockdown as in-person returned. - Network effects: Social video needs critical mass to stick. - Monetization: Unclear path vs. free alternatives or ad-supported models. Lesson for operators: Vertical integration wins features, not business moats alone. #AI

    Dear @1Password: are y'all listening? This is me too. You've succumbed to the Dropbox error and are putting all sorts of unnecessary (and insecure) stuff inside an app that should be rigorously single-focused. Please reconsider. I'd gladly keep paying for a maintenance mode.

    Let me break this down. An AI just launched that replaces every marketing job. Not some. All of them. SEO. Social media. Content. Ads. Branding. Pitch decks. Community management. Reddit posts. Email campaigns. Everything. A marketing team costs $200K–$500K a year. Agencies charge $10K–$20K a month. Freelancers $5K per project. This AI does all of it—for almost nothing. Backed by General Catalyst, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and execs from Dropbox, Stripe, Google. $7.5M in funding. Thousands already using it. It has an API. Other AI agents feed it work automatically. Copy is written, assets designed, posts scheduled, campaigns optimized. No humans required. A full marketing department, end to end. Automated. A week ago AI replaced coders. Then writers. Customer service. Now marketing. All at once. With one launch. Every week another AI drops. Another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing. It’s accelerating.

    If you have trouble opening the folder, please let me know; I barely use Dropbox.

    Let me explain what just happened… An AI just launched that eliminates all marketing jobs. Not some of them. All of them. SEO. Social media. Content writing. Ad creation. Brand design. Pitch decks. Community management. Reddit posts. Email campaigns. All of it. A marketing team costs $200K to $500K a year. An agency costs $10K to $20K a month. A freelance designer charges $5K per project. This does all of it. Every single function. For almost nothing. Backed by General Catalyst. Jeffrey Katzenberg. Executives from Dropbox, Stripe, and Google. $7.5 million in funding. Thousands already using it. And it has an API. Meaning other AI agents feed it work automatically. AI writes the copy. AI designs the assets. AI posts it. AI optimizes it. No human ever touches it. A full marketing department. End to end. Automated. A week ago AI replaced coders. Before that writers. Before that customer service. Now every marketing job. All at once. From one launch. Every single week another AI drops and another career becomes a subscription. And it’s not slowing down. It’s speeding up…

    @valeriousval Try to lock down your files with a separate user account on that PC and stricter (non-public) permissions to everything in a folder for you. Don't leave him with admin rights. Back up to cloud (Dropbox/OneDrive, etc). You'll make more in the future than you lost, protect it.

    @libovness no, github is just for source code, dropbox is used for media all the time. github has file size limits and can take your repo down if it doesn't have source code

    Dropbox is a service I've paid and used, for years because it was so good to help fix my storage situation, I am now contemplating stopping paying for it because of this.

    Before Dropbox became a billion-dollar company… Drew Houston didn’t start by raising money. He started with a problem.

    The "Host Backups" Trap. "My host does backups." Great. What happens if your host account is hacked or their server fails? If you don't have an off-site, redundant backup (AWS/Dropbox/Google Drive/Other), you don't have a backup.

  • joshhumble
    Josh Humble (@joshhumble) reported

    Syncing and backup services suck, both on-site and online. I've had to quit Dropbox, due to a barrage of terrible new policies for Mac years ago. iDrive is now taking days for simple backups of a few gigs, and my Lacie syncing service for my Lacie's started randomly deleting files on my HD last year. Why can't we just get GOOD software without the drama of software engineers??? Any suggestions for a real backup service that doesn't screw with their customers would be appreciated.
