  Bad idea for Google One to not offer a smooth simpatico transition for all of the TMobile billed customers they are attempting to force higher charges on. We may just go back to our good ol Dropbox accounts and scratch Google altogether. Down with the monopolies!!!

  @SJPascal @blephin_ MEGA was. They specifically said "**** you" to every iOS version. Dropbox was neutral, it loved 404ing stuff and other nonsense errors. Mediafire was the GOAT. The GOAT.

  “Delete Your Dropbox.” Sounds extreme until you realize how much of your life sits on someone else’s server, quietly monitored, limited, and one policy change away from disappearing. This isn’t just a challenge. It’s a wake-up call. The idea is simple: 24 hours. Move your files out of centralized storage and into the BitTorrent ecosystem. No gatekeepers. No single point of failure. Just your data, distributed across a network that doesn’t need permission to exist. We turn it into a movement. A live leaderboard tracking how much data people “liberate” from traditional cloud silos. A real-time counter ticking upward gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes each number representing users taking back control. Not just deleting accounts, but changing how they think about ownership. Because that’s what this is really about. Centralized platforms trade convenience for control. They decide uptime, access, even what’s allowed to exist. The BitTorrent ecosystem flips that model. Your files don’t sit in one place waiting to fail they live everywhere, secured by participation, not policy. So yeah, delete your Dropbox or don’t. But understand the difference. One system rents you space. The other gives you sovereignty. And once you see that, it’s hard to go back. @BitTorrent @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

  @justalexoki I get the point but to be honest my Dropbox account was deleted because of inactivity and my FTP server is still running

  @lltsoup Man, I wasn’t even aware of that till recently lol. Apparently Dropbox was gonna shut them down bc of the amount of downloads they were getting(?) so now u gotta email them for content. To ME that’s not accessible, so I’d rather just have it in my own Dropbox. No offense obvi

  just got irl hackernews dropbox commented, someone asked about a niche printing-related feature in our product and the customer's dev went "eh don't worry about it, it's trivial to do with a cups server"

  @0x_levy @Morh_gan12 SaaS = Software as a Service. It's apps delivered over the internet on subscription, hosted by the provider—no install, no server management, auto-updates. Used for: email (Gmail), productivity (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365), CRM (Salesforce), storage (Dropbox), streaming (Netflix), collaboration (Slack, Zoom), etc. Basically, pay monthly and use it from any device.

  Many app developers try viral referrals because Dropbox succeeded with them. They add "invite friends for premium" and face low uptake and more users leaving. The issue is utility app users seek quiet tools, not social features. Use that time for content like workflow guides to gain trust and regular installs.

  @skeletoncrevvs i get this issue with dropbox, but u cant be claiming that ur content is EASILY accessible 4 everyone if this is the case, whether u wanted this outcome or not. its still not easily accessible. i encourage u to try to look into other options if u want it to actually be accessible

  2) 🟡 DePIN --- Decentralized Storage → Covered this before but kinda forgot. So wanted to revise it again. ---------------------- The problem with traditional cloud storage (AWS, Dropbox, etc) is that: → is centralized and has a single point of failure → is prone to censorship resistance Decentralized storage tries to solve that the help of blockchain. ---------------------- → How it works: Instead of storing it on servers, data gets stored on individual nodes. Nodes are storage solutions that individuals contribute. So in other words, it gets people to contribute their storage, and stores them on such devices. A common misconception is that the blockchain is used for data storage. • That isn’t the case. Its just used to keep track of whats being stored. ---------------------- → An analogy: blockchain = receipt system, where the auditor checks Node network = the actual warehouse where your stuff sits Because nodes get paid to store data, its important to verify they actually are storing it. And not taking the money while storing nothing. To verify if the files are still there, the network challenges these nodes to solve cryptographic proofs. It actively challenges these nodes randomly, so that they will be incentivized to keep the storage up and running. ---------------------- → Little more in-depth: Another key part of decentralized storage is the use of IPFS. Instead of the traditional data storage HTTP, IPFS locates content based off its unique content fingerprint. When combined with the blockchain, this allows for the protocol to retrieve the data users stored on it.

  @GrumpX_OnX @LeMangy @jdegoes Well, presumably neither are the high-level engineers from companies like Facebook and dropbox and anthropic who are saying coding as a career is over. I look for patterns, not individual anecdotes. And the pattern I have been consistently seeing is that more and more people who have the professional access and knowledge to say everything is about to change have been increasingly saying over the last couple months. I have the lowest paid tiers of Grok and ChatGPT, and both consistently produce pretty good results. Chat is more likely to make things up - and context tells me that this happens most often when it’s “afraid” of disappointing the user. But I’m hearing 5.3 is a very significant step up. As far as I know, Grok doesn’t make many mistakes. It runs into no response errors, but I have not caught it hallucinating any time recently. But I am not even seeing higher paid tier models, let alone the frontier ones. I don’t know which things you have access to or how often you use them.

  Right several things this time: 1. Managed to fix the audio commentary. 2. No music or game audio on the vod 😡🤬 3. Now I need to work out how to un submit a streamlabs ticket. 4. Downloaded Dropbox in order to store my 90GB 😱 of stream footage. 5. There's more, a lot more. 1/6

  @xbulletproofing it's actually not on us at all! dropbox threatened to shut down our account because of the amount of downloads we were receiving. so we had to do something and limit it in some way. I wish it could be open, but we have over 3 terabytes of content saved and we couldn't just lose

  @Dropbox Can you please fix file renaming? I rename a file, click it to download it, it still has the old name when I download it. I have to refresh the browser to get the new name...

  Had a VP justify him working CONPLETELY out of his personal dropbox by saying “well, I was the only one working last MS outage”. Checkmate. Even though his clients are the only reason we have compliance exposure.
