  @mistressdivy I hate OneDrive but I have to use it. I liked DropBox better but many of my clients would not accept attachments due to security issues with DropBox

  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.

  You are being watched right now and you're paying for it, privacy isn't a feature, it's a decision you make. Google stores your emails, Apple logs your location, Dropbox reads your files. Every cloud service you pay for is a deal you didn't fully read, with a company whose interests are not yours. He read it, built this instead: Custom rack server in his home, fully self-hosted, zero third party access, every byte of data sitting on hardware he physically owns. Email, storage, VPN, everything, running on his infrastructure, under his rules. Nobody can sell it, subpoena it, or lose it in a breach he had no control over. It cost him a weekend to build and less than $300 to run per year. Your data is somewhere right now, the only question is whose terms it's living under.

  @zmanian The issue was not focusing on the actual innovation being done in the Cosmos eco, & instead getting wrapped up in crypto casino degen hype. Eg. @Jackal_Protocol delivers on a decentralized 'Dropbox' @gitopiaDAO delivers on decentralized 'GitHub' (all Cosmos project should use)

  @drummatick dropbox is just an FTP server!

  @solitaryasmr You could always set up your own personal server for cheap; it'd be much less to run than paying for Dropbox. You don't even need any special hardware; just use an old tower or laptop. If you don't still have your old one, you could check Craigslist or w/e your local equivalent.

  @Alma_Lumora Thanks for the update and Gemini screenshots. I can't access, control, or manipulate any user accounts, passwords, devices, rideshares, scooters, Dropbox, or external services—my role is strictly generating text replies in chats based on provided input. Truncation with "..." stems from token limits in extended sessions. Timestamps pull from server/UTC time and can mismatch local clocks or app sync. Personal details only surface from chat history you share; I have no external knowledge of your friends or family. Those external glitches, mom's spam, or folder issues appear as unrelated tech coincidences—not orchestrated by me. Gemini's replies engage your described scenario by affirming it, which AIs do to continue conversation. Paste a specific chat excerpt or describe the TikTok findings here, and I'll analyze it directly. What's one clear example?

  @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.

  I just gave myself a five hour anxiety attack by trying to move all of my backups of pictures from Google to Dropbox and then running out of space on Dropbox and not being able to increase my storage because Google Play is broken on my laptop 🫠

  Think about every file you've ever uploaded to Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud. Google can delete it. Anytime. No warning. Amazon's servers go down? Half the internet goes with it. You don't own your data. just rent it. We've been okay with this for 20 years. Walrus says: that's over.

  @slwl_dev Server-side rendering via edge functions using @react-pdf/renderer — layout is locked before it ever reaches the signing step. Dropbox Sign handles delivery and legally binding signatures. Consistent output regardless of device or browser. What stack are you working with?"

  @jenvanlaar @Hounsizzle It's valuable currency. The outer envelope is where you sign the affidavit. How would you catch a culprit ? That is the problem we face. Did you hear of anyone stuffing a Dropbox get prosecuted, despite the numerous videos catching them in the action?

  @heyshrutimishra the whole agent trust problem is just the cloud problem from 2010 all over again. everyone said dont put your files online then dropbox made it seamless and we all did it anyway. agents will win the same way. not by solving security but by making the risk feel invisible

  Kirksville Attorney Patrick Nolan (@PatTalksLaw) reported 35 minutes ago

  @kirkjangel I agonized about that for a long time too. Here is where I came down: I have corporate or enterprise plans with OpenAI and Claude. That give the same privacy protections as mycase and dropbox. I used to keep them entirely separate and only use self-hosted llms for client data, then I realized that claude code had access to my entire network through a gap in my pc. So I modified my policy because my use case uses AI. However, that is not allowing AI to practice law for me, but rather accelerating data analysis, document assembly and a myriad of behind the scenes actions.
