  @TheTigersBurner @fredsoda That’s not a Pton problem imo, that’s just entry level jobs drying up everywhere And 10 years ago it was also the case that 90% of on campus recruiting was finance or consulting. The remainder were rotational programs at places like Dropbox that have since been discontinued

  @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.

  Where's your most sensitive data right now? A server? A laptop? Someone's personal Dropbox? An email from 2023? If you don't know where critical data lives, you can't protect it.

  @uppastdark It looks like dropbox links are not working on the ps3 anymore.

  @drummatick dropbox is just an FTP server!

  @LaroTayoGaming I've gotten good use out of auto-syncing to Dropbox! I work on two devices, so it's nice to pick up from where I left off easily. I haven't encountered any issues with it, so I assume it's alright.

  @senatorshoshana Just think it through. No admin. Read only access to your data. Dropbox-style writes only. It's not hard to lock it down, you just need to be thorough.

  @Dropbox Dropbox paper logs me out every single day starting a few weeks ago. Login method is passkey. Please fix

  2. Solve a problem that hurts. Dropbox got its first 5,000 users from a simple demo video. They didn’t have a following, just a pain point worth talking about.

  In April 2024, Dropbox disclosed that one compromised service account had given an attacker access to every active Dropbox Sign user's email, phone number, hashed password, API keys, OAuth tokens, and MFA data. Plus the names of everyone who had ever signed a document through the platform without even making an account. Syncthing has been around since 2013 and that breach is structurally impossible against it. 82,000 GitHub stars. MPL-2.0 license. Maintained by a Swedish non-profit foundation. Written in Go. The architecture is the whole product. Every device gets a cryptographic certificate. Traffic is TLS-encrypted end to end. Files move directly between machines you own through the Block Exchange Protocol. No central server gets compromised because no central server exists. Turn off the optional discovery and relay services and Syncthing has zero connection to anyone else's infrastructure. The reason cloud sync keeps producing breaches like the one above is structural. Centralized storage requires a single high-value target. The property that lets you log into Dropbox from a hotel computer is the same property that exposed every user when one service account fell. The convenience and the vulnerability are the same feature. Syncthing trades that property away. The cost is real. Both devices need to be online for sync to happen. There's no web UI you can hit from a borrowed laptop. No shareable link to text a friend. For most people that's a dealbreaker, which is why most people have never heard of Syncthing despite 13 years of open development. For files you actually care about, understand what the $120/year subscription is paying for. Storage at scale is close to free. The price covers an account, a server, a database, and a team that has to keep all three secure forever. The same surface area that made the 2024 breach possible. Dropbox can read your files. So can Google. So can Apple. Their architecture requires it. Syncthing literally cannot. Its architecture forbids it.

  @rseroter @Dropbox Dropbox still at 87GB before the fix is wild. Mono repo size creep is silent until someone's waiting an hour to clone on day one.

  The best startup ideas don't come from brainstorming sessions. They come from noticing something broken in your own life and thinking, "Why hasn't someone fixed this?" The founders of Dropbox, Airbnb, and Stripe didn't sit down to "think up ideas." They scratched their own itch. Your lived experience is your unfair advantage.

  You need to store 10 billion small files (1-10KB each). Block storage costs are $100K/month. How will you reduce storage costs? [Real problem at Dropbox]

  @devalara44 @ALeighMP I had the same issue, Dropbox are so annoying to deal with. I hope this new legislation helps.
