Dropbox Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
gmhacker (@realgmhacker) reported37% of employees knowingly break their company's AI policy. Not accidentally. Knowingly. Shadow IT was USB drives and unapproved Dropbox accounts. Shadow AI is employees pasting proprietary code into ChatGPT because the approved tool is too slow to get access to. 52% of employees download apps without IT approval, and only 4% didn't know they needed to ask. They know the rules. They just decided the rules aren't worth following. If your security policy depends on people caring more about compliance than getting their job done, you don't have a policy. You have a suggestion.

Dominik Stec (@dominikstec) reported@GregorySchier Correct! The price isn't the issue. It's the same old story: Evernote, CloudApp, Dropbox... and now 1Password. Scale compromises the soul. 15 years was a good run for me.

Eric Gens (@Ragnorosis) reported@Beautyon_ Shades of people making RISC architecture microcomputers in Minecraft. "Wouldn't it be cool to have Bitcoin do stuff like Eth? Or like Dropbox? Or like LimeWire?" No. It will be slow, wasteful, and buggy, and cause all kinds of knock-on problems. Bitcoin is not a sandbox.

Eric Kaner (@EKaner21430) reported@BenjaminBadejo What's Dropbox? Microsoft shoves OneDrive down the throats of Windows users to steal your personal data. It's not a cloud service. It's a trojan horse.

Shyπβ (@UniTwo21) reportedIf you have trouble opening the folder, please let me know; I barely use Dropbox.

Sephπ (@_Necr0sis_) reported@SClassYvan @ibejiggly Tbf they also use dropbox, Telegram, and MediaFire. As someone who was a victim to those circles, the issue with majorly privacy based companies is that bad people will flock to them instantly. There are completely normal people who use MEGA, BUT (1/2)

Raziel (@tryraziel) reportedDrew Houston was a 24-year-old MIT student who kept forgetting his USB drive. So he built a simple file sync tool for himself. That tool became Dropbox β now worth $8B. But here's what most people don't know about his journey: β He spent 6 months building the product before talking to a single customer β His first "demo" was actually a fake video β the product barely worked β He got rejected by investor after investor who said "storage is a commodity" The breakthrough came when he realized he wasn't selling storage. He was selling peace of mind. Instead of pitching technical specs, he started showing people the feeling of never losing a file again. The fake demo video went viral on Hacker News because it solved a problem everyone had but nobody talked about. Y Combinator accepted him in 2007. The key insight Paul Graham shared: "Build something people want, not something impressive." Houston took that literally. He stripped away every fancy feature and focused on one thing β making files appear on every device like magic. By launch, they had 75,000 people on the waitlist from that one video. The lesson: Sometimes the best validation isn't building the product. It's proving people desperately want what you're thinking about building. What's the simplest version of your idea that could test real demand?

frank goertzen (@frankgoertzen) reportedI chuckle every time i see someone post what they think is dunk and then qualify their point with what they call the edge cases. Dropbox is just ftp with a few edge cases. LLMs are just autocorrect with a few edge cases. If this is just measureText with a few edges then you should have no problem recreating it right π

Existential Exhortations (@existentexhorts) reportedBad 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!!!
