  Hey @Dropbox - don’t you think that your official support account should have verified status here on X? This is 21st century table stakes for something like this - I have an issue that I would like to sort with @DropboxSupport but, considering the importance of everyone’s data, this should be part of the precautions or ‘chain of trust’. Please get this sorted.

  @stephanlivera @kixunil Great episode! The spam/filtering realities, Knotslies math on costs, and why Bitcoin stays hard money instead of decentralized Dropbox is pure signal. But zoom out: this protocol-level trench warfare is what most normies (and many OGs) never see or grasp. They think Bitcoin is just "digital gold" or a payment app. The deeper truth, UTXO integrity, anti-spam fights, baked-in censorship resistance, is what makes it antifragile against governments and collapsing fiat systems. Yet the jargon builds a wall. Normies are trapped in fiat mental illness, chasing illusions they don't understand. Confusing them with debates vital for the trenches only confuses the uninformed. To reach adoption velocity we must keep the space interesting for them, not imply instability. Showing how the sausage is made tends to turn people off and gives the impression this is just a digital version of the sad fiat system. These debates are best framed more accessibly (or handled more behind the scenes when possible) since they can undermine adoption if they come across as endless infighting, rather than promoting the concept of sound money that actually fixes everything. The awakening is slow. Years ago everyone thought we were nuts. Today (17 years later), maybe half get the basics. Math + time will do the rest but why shoot ourselves in the foot? -CryptoTruth-

  @libovness no, github is just for source code, dropbox is used for media all the time. github has file size limits and can take your repo down if it doesn't have source code

  @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.

  I run 5 unattended 24 hour laundromats, raining 5 grandkids, and have too many ideas. And currently spending too many late nights diving into the AI world. Some minor accomplishments so far have been: : Set up Open Claw named Bob : Reorganized all my Dropbox files into 9 main categories : Had Bob provide an LOI for a complicated CRE purchase. Including environmental issues. : Any updates to the CRE LOI I just talk into Telegram and it updates the history. : Currently building a Business Continuity Plan. This will include all leases, contacts, insurance etc etc. : Side note. I just copied all my Leases into a folder and got a spreadsheet of all the details including renewal dates. : Analysis of last 1/4 and last years refunds for concerns at my laundromats provided in charts. : Working through 5 steps at a time to build the business income. : Used CoWork to update 22 FAQ’s on my website and Service on GMB specific to each laundromat location. Next small steps: : Load all the parts manuals for my equipment and compare to my inventory in Sortly to update where the parts are used and which parts are obsolete. : Continue to work on Bob providing daily report of all of my systems. SimpliSafe ( ran into some issues with this), RING cameras, Lorex cameras, Woosh filter monitors, ATM balances, TV’s, vending machines and changers. So far I’m not building and shipping products but making my own operations smoother is the goal.

  @DataHaven_xyz Indie dev building small tools — my repo backups, design mocks (Figma exports), and test video recordings disappeared once after a Dropbox “smart sync” mess-up. DataHaven fixes the “trust one company with my work” problem. Files stay distributed, immutable。

  1. The Y Combinator Idea Validator "You are a senior partner at Y Combinator who has evaluated 50,000+ startup applications and funded companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Dropbox. You know within 5 minutes whether an idea has real potential or is a waste of time. I need a brutally honest validation of my business idea before I invest a single hour building it. Validate: - Problem clarity: is this solving a real painful problem or a 'nice to have' that nobody will pay for - Market size estimate: how many people have this problem and how much would they pay to solve it - Existing solutions: what are people currently using and why is my approach meaningfully better - Willingness to pay test: 5 questions I can ask real people today to confirm they'd actually buy this - Unfair advantage check: what do I personally have (skills, network, experience) that makes me the right person to build this - Business model clarity: how exactly does this make money subscription, one-time, marketplace, or ads - First 10 customers: who specifically are my first 10 paying customers and where do I find them - MVP definition: the absolute smallest version I can build to test if people will pay - Kill criteria: what specific evidence in the next 7 days would prove this idea is dead - YC verdict: fund, pass, or pivot with the single most important reason Format as a Y Combinator-style application review with a brutally honest score out of 10 and a clear go/no-go recommendation. My idea: [DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS IDEA, WHO IT'S FOR, WHAT PROBLEM IT SOLVES, AND WHY YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD PAY]"

  @CIOonline Shadow AI is shadow IT 2.0 but with way higher stakes. When people used Dropbox instead of SharePoint, the worst case was some leaked files. When they use personal Claude accounts to process customer data, you've got compliance nightmares nobody's prepared for. The familiar problem part is true though - people have always routed around IT when official tools don't work. The difference now is velocity. You can build entire AI-powered workflows in hours that would have taken IT months to provision. The gap between need and approval has never been wider.

  @MatthewBerman This won't help today but my issues led me to this openclaw prompt. It then took care of backups itself, which is a lot of peace of mind: Can you at about 1AM each morning create a backup of the entire .openclaw directory and move it to Dropbox root level? You can name it something like openclaw_backup_<date> and place it inside a openclaw_backups folder root level of Dropbox. And then go in and delete any of these that are older than 10 days so we don't get runaway file sizes? Thanks!

  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]

  Shadow IT used to mean employees running Dropbox without IT approval. Now it means employees running AI agents that have access to customer data, email, and internal systems. Same problem, different stakes. The liability exposure is not comparable.

  @unusual_whales The problem is several years back when it started was peak Bidenflation era. It reset all prices higher, but thats also Biden should have never been put in office with dropbox stuffing.

  @Dropbox @Dropbox I need support. I've lost two years of work due to sync problems. Please help.

  @lefttailguy It's really only MSFT who would have a shot, right? Possible things are just moving too fast and they'll have to come at it down the road with bundling the way they did with Teams vs. Zoom/Slack and OneDrive vs. Box/Dropbox

  @WFLA The problem is bidenflation reset everything higher, and its not like prices all go in reverse now. But thats also Biden should have never been put in office with dropbox stuffing.
