  @SsharmaKirti Maybe isse ek project bnalo... redundant file storage ( across various apps like dropbox, gdrive and local server ). And add video streaming capabilities based on the fastest avalable ( calculated dynamically ) service. I made this couple of years ago, but for different tasks

  Dropbox is doubling down on virtual-first while everyone else pushes return to office - their people chief says hybrid is the worst of all worlds.

  @DropboxSupport I have the same problem as Detroit Media Magazine described below - my Dropbox became unavailable until the latest update. I tried to upgrade my account, but was registered instead for a free trial - ? I have to update my email to get it authenticated - PLEASE RESPOND, thanks.

  Nice, Google Drive / Dropbox is still the go-to for a lot of people, especially for bigger files. But man, the moment you share that link… “Download required to view properly.” Preview looks compressed and ugly Sometimes the link breaks if permissions change Or the client just never downloads it That’s the exact frustration SnapVid @snap_vid was built to fix: Upload once → permanent streaming link No compression, instant play, beautiful previews (even on WhatsApp), no “download first” nonsense. If you ever get tired of the Drive preview pain on your next share, give it a quick test, free tier is unlimited for basics. What’s the main reason you usually pick Drive? File size? Ease? Or something else? Curious to know!

  No, no, no. You're thinking about it all wrong. A functioning file server would be a liability. If Urbit actually stored and served everyone's files reliably today, people would start using it for files. Then we'd have to make it fast. We'd have to make it redundant. We'd have to handle backups, syncing, corruption, support tickets. That's infrastructure. What we have is much more valuable. We have the *option* of being a file server. The vision of a file server. A file server-shaped hole in the future. Right now, every missing feature is proof of how early we are. Every failed upload is evidence of untapped potential. The fact that nobody can depend on it yet means the market is still entirely available. The moment it becomes a good file server, people stop asking how big it could be and start asking why it's slower than Dropbox. You don't want to be Dropbox. Dropbox has revenue. Revenue means expectations. Expectations mean accountability. Accountability kills narrative. We're building a decentralized, sovereign, peer-to-peer, identity-native, file-adjacent platform opportunity. The less it functions as a file server today, the more it can function as one tomorrow. It's a pure play.

  @p_ganong I’ve had this problem too. When I’m editing with Claude, edit manually directly in the .tex file locally on your machine through overleaf-Dropbox sync. Then you and Claude are both working locally.

  @jbarro Especially because "you have to mail it in a week before the election or else drop it at an election site dropbox after that date" is a totally reasonable compromise done all over the US and world which would immediately fix the problem.

  Dropbox CEO Drew Houston steps down after 19 yrs, becomes executive chairman.

  There is an easy to fix things in the uploaded to Dropbox version that Grok garbled. It just makes it so any API key comes up as invalid.

  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??
