Not sure why @onedrive is the flagship of @Microsoft storage - this is the third time I have spent at least 6-8 hours of trying to fix a sync issue. After being a @Dropbox subscriber for 10+ years, why didn't Microsoft just buy them? Incredibly superior product.

@AravSrinivas Any way you can fix the integration with Microsoft Word and Dropbox, I can only open files with Web, but need to open Microsoft Word on desktop! :(

🧵 What is Autonomy's DSN? 1/ 💾 Today, most of our data lives in centralized servers—think Google Drive, Dropbox, or AWS. The problem? These can be hacked, censored, or just… disappear. That’s where Autonomy's DSN (Decentralized Storage Network) steps in.

I just made my research now, and i discovered that it uses zero-knowledge encryption. That means not even Dropbox can read your data, it is encrypted end-to-end. But honestly, it lacks emergence backup. If anything happens to you, your family or partner can’t recover your logins. For me that is a major issue for long-term use. 👑

@jonaslismont The Dropbox notifications can be turned off. But, you're right, every time their computer geeks come up with something new, they just can't resist pestering us with it. Apple Music I have no experience with, only Spotify. Did you get your emoji issue fixed?

Well, that's the problem right? We already had Jimmy and Vic. And supposedly Liam has access to a DM group of CG creators with a Dropbox link being passed around with CP on it, but he won't say who they are. It's getting harder to trust people. So in my circle, we're gonna gatekeeper a bit. Gotta prove yourself.

2. Define one specific user. Not a vague market. “Freelancers” is too broad. So is “founders.” You want to build for someone who wakes up with that problem in their head. Example: “Podcast editors who waste time managing client feedback across emails and Dropbox.” That’s who you build for.

-custodied digital keys – solves two problems without adding friction. Still mildly amused I feel more at ease with crypto primitives than a shared Dropbox link. Guess I’m officially that guy muttering "not your keys, not your data" while reviewing T&Cs. #LegalTechHacks

You're listed as spam for some reason, but this is actually a good question. In many apps/websites, text data may be stored in a database, but photos or PDFs would be stored in something called "blob storage," which Amazon calls S3. Think of it as a Dropbox for a website. Now, there are situations where you may want to show a photo to someone else, but you don't want them to access other files. Websites and apps, when configured properly, will give a means for the website to access said photo without telling them where it is. In addition, some files may not be accessible at all. What happened in the case of Parler was the bucket was publicly accessible. This meant that there was a URL separate from the website that people could access and download photos from. This was the equivalent of making a person's Dropbox account public, so people could scrape EVERY file from it. In addition, certain parts of the metadata (GPS location, make and model of the phone taking the photo, etc) were available. Think about it this way: you invite your friend into your home, but you don't want your friend to go into the walk in closet of your master bedroom. Well, unbeknownst to you, the builder gave a backdoor way for someone to go into every room in your house, walk in closet included. THAT was the security issue related to Parler.

Even if you do understand the logic behind Dropbox’s folder behavior, the issue remains: The UI does not clearly communicate whether a folder is a shared top-level folder or a subfolder inside another shared folder. You’re constantly guessing what will happen.

The Dropbox example teaches us that even well-functioning software can feel broken when its concepts are misaligned with how users think. Design isn’t just about making software easy to use, it’s about making the system’s underlying logic understandable.

2/ This wasn’t a hack. It was a misconfiguration. Think of Firebase Storage like a public dropbox. If you don’t add locks (security rules), the world has read access. No login needed. No rate limits. Just open URLs.

And it’s not just storage..the data you upload can actually do things, like run commands, talk to apps, or trigger actions automatically. What Makes Irys Special? Your data lives forever. Unlike Google Drive or Dropbox, where files can be deleted or taken down,

@googledrive is absolutely appalling. Being migrating from dropbox due to their obscene prices and small drive sizes and have uploaded 3+TB of stuff before I realize by change that maybe 1 in 100 files is corrupted. Randomly. No error message. No log. Nothing. WTF!!!

The 2014 "Dropbox hack" wasn't a breach of Dropbox's servers. Claims surfaced of ~7M leaked credentials posted on Pastebin, but Dropbox stated these were stolen from third-party sites and reused for login attempts. No evidence of direct file access via public URLs. Their Public folder (deprecated in 2012) did use guessable URLs for shared files, but that was intentional for public sharing, not a hack.

Compressing a single repository render for MyNixOS was taking almost 2 minutes on a single laptop core using brotli which I found a bit long. Going multi-threaded via the brotli crate from Dropbox took it under a minute, but didn't improve it as much as I'd thought. It should hopefully run much better once I get it over to my chunky server 🔥

@SuperGrok has attempted to download a python script several times. It always gets truncated at the same spot. (It's only 30k). Every link that has been provided (Dropbox, GoogleDrive, my email) has failed or no email received. Anybody else have that problem?
