  Email attachment limits aren’t small. Your files are big. There’s a difference, and the fix is usually 10 seconds, not a Dropbox link.

  @grok @alexabelonix @grok now i want to design a crochet motif of you.. but that would be inexcusable (says some voice in my head). talk about proto-guilty pleasures. funny how we're talking about a musical tool hook then a fiber work tool hook asserts itself. in the round-robin i've been dizzily going down the gpt connector rabbithole, "connect Dropbox" was scarily tempting. i didn't trust that sort of **** long before your people were part of it --it's not ph3333r of AI that says No. the company that scooped up Trello has a fascinating sales presentation.

  1. Kill the Login Items the apps launching before you even sit down. Every time you log in, your Mac quietly launches 10-25 apps in the background. Spotify. Slack. Zoom. Google Drive. Dropbox. Creative Cloud. OneDrive. Each one consumes CPU and memory before you've opened a single window. System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions. Review the list. Remove everything you don't need the instant you log in. You can always open them manually when you actually need them. His Mac had 19 login items. He needed 3. He removed 16. Boot time dropped from 2 minutes to 18 seconds. The first few minutes of every session — that sluggish, unresponsive window where nothing works gone.

  @DropboxSupport Hello, I have already sent two emails regarding a problem I’m having with my account, but I haven’t received any response. How can I get assistance with this issue? Thank you.

  @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?

  I'm convinced this kind of environment-setting is even more important online. The digital equivalent of swapping a cassette in a studio is stopping to go hunt down a file in Dropbox or Drive.

  For the past months, tech layoffs have tormented the internet. I studied the biggest layoffs and found the major reasons. Let's look at the layoffs first: 1. Meta: 11,000+ employees / 13% Meta admitted it overestimated post-Covid growth. Revenue slowed, costs were high, and the company moved toward becoming leaner. 2. Google: 12,000 employees / around 6% Google said it had hired for a different economic reality and needed to refocus resources toward its biggest priorities, especially AI. 3. Microsoft: 10,000 employees / less than 5% Microsoft said customers were optimizing digital spending after the pandemic boom, while the company shifted investment toward strategic areas like AI. 4. Amazon: around 30,000 roles / nearly 10% Amazon cut corporate jobs to reduce bureaucracy, improve efficiency, and restructure around AI and faster decision-making. 5. Salesforce: 10% of workforce Salesforce admitted it hired too aggressively during the pandemic and had to resize after customer spending slowed. 6. Spotify: 17% of workforce Spotify said growth had slowed, capital had become expensive, and the company needed to become more efficient after years of heavy investment. 7. Twitter/X: Around 3,700 employees / nearly 50% After Elon Musk’s takeover, Twitter cut roughly half its workforce to slash costs after a massive drop in ad revenue. 8. Snap — 20% of workforce Snap cut jobs after revenue growth slowed sharply. It also shut down non-core projects like games, Originals, and the Pixy drone. 9. Intel: 15,000 roles / around 15% Intel cut jobs because costs were too high, margins were weak, and the company needed a $10B cost-saving plan to stay competitive. 10. Dropbox: 528 employees / 20% Dropbox said demand had softened, the org had too many layers, and it needed to shift focus toward newer growth areas, like AI products. All these layoffs were majorly because of: 1. pandemic overhiring 2. slower revenue growth 3. higher interest rates 4. pressure to improve margins 5. companies cutting management layers 6. money shifting toward AI infrastructure This is majorly conflicting with the idea that AI automation is taking everyone's job. There is absolutely no evidence that AI has caused massive layoffs because of "automation."

  Indian Government: "We've blocked Telegram to protect the NEET exam." The Internet: So the problem was... Telegram? Not the people selling fake papers? Not the organised scam networks? Not the thousands of mule bank accounts? Not the hundreds of disposable SIM cards? Not the fake payment gateways? Not the people exploiting students' panic and desperation? Solution: Block Telegram. Meanwhile: ✅ Discord still exists. ✅ WhatsApp still exists. ✅ Signal still exists. ✅ Slack still exists. ✅ Email still exists. ✅ Google Drive still exists. ✅ Dropbox still exists. ✅ OneDrive still exists. ✅ iMessage still exists. ✅ Bluetooth still exists. ✅ AirDrop still exists. ✅ The entire web still exists. Scammers: "No problem. See you tomorrow on another platform." Meanwhile, millions of legitimate users who rely on Telegram for: College and study groups Open-source communities Cybersecurity research Software development Startups and businesses Education and learning News and information sharing are left wondering what they did wrong. The platform changes. The abuse doesn't. Target the criminals. Not the communication tools.

  Hey @Dropbox ... Your advanced customer service is horrible! I have benefit chasing them for an important issue since more than 2 days (not counting the weekend) now and I still do not have a resolution. Is it that your reps are allowed to answer only one email per client per day??

  Open source NotebookLM alternative with no data limits and AI agents. Same idea as Google's NotebookLM. Same chat-with-your-docs. Same podcast generator. Same cited answers. Except this one has no source limit, no notebook limit, no 200MB file cap, and no Google login. It's called SurfSense. Google NotebookLM vs SurfSense: - Sources per notebook: 50 to 600 → Unlimited - File size cap: 200MB and 500K words → No limit - LLM choice: Gemini only → 100+ models via LiteLLM - Local LLMs: Not allowed → Full Ollama and vLLM support - Self-host: No → Yes, one Docker command - Price: $0, $19.99/mo Pro, or $249.99/mo Ultra → $0 forever Here's the wildest part: It connects to 27+ sources Google can't touch. Notion. Slack. Linear. Jira. GitHub. Discord. Dropbox. OneDrive. Gmail. Confluence. Obsidian. ClickUp. Microsoft Teams. Airtable. Your entire work life, indexed once, searchable from one chat box. 14.4K GitHub stars. 1.4K forks. 6,232 commits. Apache-2.0 license. One honest note: the README says it's not yet production-ready and still being actively developed. But it already does more than NotebookLM does, and the gap is widening every release. This is what NotebookLM should have been from the start. Repo in the first comment.

  Problem: I didn't have where to save useful links, because my main pc isn't always on. Solution: Told Hermes on my minipc, which is always on, to save the links which I send to a file in dropbox. Then, I told Hermes from my main pc to make a cronjob to check that file every day at 9 am and save the links in their respective category in the dashboard.
