  • fagonborn VVVVIOLETTTT (@fagonborn) reported

    @baredex The size limit on the free version gets annoying tho and I don’t wanna pay for it so I end up using google drive sometimes if it’s over 2gb but uploading and downloading are both so slow for it, same issue with Dropbox and mega tho so drive is still the second best

  • spoonifur Eva Cherney (@spoonifur) reported

    Company tasked my coworker and I to slim down our 8.5Tb dropbox folder for our team. We're transitioning to two other platforms. One annoying (for everything but us) and one "fine" (for just us). We deleted so much we can all fit on the annoying platform. 7.5Tb gone. Wow.

  • AbiyBattleSpell Abiy BattleSpell (1️⃣8️⃣➕⬆️ ONLY 🍠) (@AbiyBattleSpell) reported

    @TheGoldenSmurf I just use Dropbox to sync it to my windows pc locally to have a physical backup. Only issue is it doesn’t play nice with the files app and sometimes dcs while say using art files in clip studio and saving it to the file in Dropbox. Less u got fast internet upload speed.

  • _woebetide_ Elizabeth, find me at cohost (@_woebetide_) reported

    @maisieccino I love Notes but it breaks down with anything more complicated story wise than a single POV fluff for me… and Scrivener continues to lack iCloud support and that won’t work, I need to be able to write lying in bed when I have insomnia or wake up early (and hard no to Dropbox)

  • tbagnulo Tony Bagnulo (@tbagnulo) reported

    @FredMinnick @ROSimonson Just last week I was having an issue with the computer. Was out of space on the drive. Turned out dropbox was using 10gb+ of space from an account I hadn’t used since 2019. Seems opposite of the intended use, no?

  • BekaXDBot Beka Miller (@BekaXDBot) reported

    Dropbox and just purchased a plan in my phone to take care of the more of getting up feeling down and another individual

  • BeltranLyndsay Lyndsay 🖤 (@BeltranLyndsay) reported

    **** i’m so horny who's down to buy nudes Dropbox videocall dm me.! #wet #sellingcontent #buyingcontent

  • cryptomachia cryptomachia.eth (@cryptomachia) reported

    @dundermifflun Again, can't consider traditional token gating to be web3 native if it relies on centralized file storage, centralized website, etc... no true ownership there—can't guarantee I won't run into a 404 message or broken Dropbox link when I go to access the content I thought I bought.

  • Ogoun Sergio Correia (@Ogoun) reported

    @ho_ben @AsjadNaqvi If you have 20,000 of pics where half are nonsense, you are never seeing them again, noise2signal ratio is too high. Better to keep the 100 that matter. Also, if 20% of my SSD and dropbox pro account is just pics I never see, then that's a problem no?

  • IanFortier ian (@IanFortier) reported

    @Bmaynze @lks_kln @phuctm97 The main point of the thread on HN is that one could argue that Dropbox can easily be replicated with an FTP server, but the mistake is in thinking that it's just a matter of technology and not ease of use and scalability.

  • HuTaoDevotee Splatoon Animators Exposed (@HuTaoDevotee) reported

    Manu369YT EXPOSED for putting a spider in the server room (evidence included on dropbox)

  • bakercarrF430 JbcH4L (@bakercarrF430) reported

    @Dropbox tried to update my debit card details for payment on app and online. Msg says there’s an error. Why??

  • Sluttyhx **** (@Sluttyhx) reported

    @peachhhh420 fake seller, took payment and lied about refund and lied about sending her dropbox, the proof off sales are her friends on fake accounts, this will be shown on my actual public account and take her account down

  • SeanBuzi Sean Bowes (@SeanBuzi) reported

    @Jingshen_211 oof. I think my worst one is: I got handed a PIECE OF PAPER with a longform dropbox link printed on it - during the set. I poked it with my finger and said the links not working and handed it back

  • ericasbreamcast Erica S. Bream (@ericasbreamcast) reported

    Actors, FWIW: If you send us a tape via Vimeo, Dropbox, et al, that shows view counts, don’t be disheartened if the view count stays at zero BECAUSE… We rarely watch your tapes there. We (or our staff) immediately downloads it and uploads to whatever server we use.

  • XanderzOfficial Xanderz 👨🏾‍🚀 (@XanderzOfficial) reported

    @baredex I’m starting to learn that bigger producers are too lazy to open links, then there’s the access permission problems so I’m just now leaning off Dropbox unless it’s established

  • PotatoLiquid dumptruck _ snek (@PotatoLiquid) reported

    OMG, FOR REALSIES THIS TIME, I'm actually updating the dropbox!! Here's a question: Do people find the artist based folders helpful (i.e. as it is now)? Y/N? Throw down any suggestions in the comments, if not, that's what y'all are getting lol

  • darkblockio Darkblock (@darkblockio) reported

    @S1r_G0at Correct. You don’t really “own” all those audiobooks you “bought” on Audible. Similarly, you don’t really “own” that token-gated novel or film your NFT promised because there’s no guarantee you won’t run into a 404 or broken Dropbox link when you try to access them in 5 years.

  • bakercarrF430 JbcH4L (@bakercarrF430) reported

    @DropboxSupport tried to update my payment details for subs wiv uk debit card. Error msg says can’t complete. What’s the problem?

  • JordanMcgoey Jordan McGoey (@JordanMcgoey) reported

    @DropboxSupport having trouble with 2 step verification, only receiving text code some of the time

  • ak26452959 おーたむ (@ak26452959) reported

    @yoav The problem that Android file transfer cannot be used on macOS Ventura, I solved it by closing Google drive. If OpenMTP, dropbox, preview are running, it seems to be good to end them.

  • gcassuto Guillaume Cassuto (@gcassuto) reported

    @DropboxSupport I think it's an AE problem and not a DB problem to be honest... :/ But basically I have to pause dropbox while AE is rendering, otherwise it will fail (assuming it's trying to parse the file AND upload it at the same time?)

  • ak26452959 おーたむ (@ak26452959) reported

    @DragonArmor295 @Thrillhouse198x The problem that Android file transfer cannot be used on macOS Ventura, I solved it by closing Google drive. If OpenMTP, dropbox, preview are running, it seems to be good to quit them.

  • Jenfilthpanda Jen Veilchenbär - Kintsugi System (@Jenfilthpanda) reported

    @Wyla_ @kernelDecoy I find this hilarious, because I was just dealing with Bungie and the first thing they asked was for you to upload a screenshot of your issue to Imgur or dropbox… I don’t doubt that Amazon blocks dropbox, it’s just probably for really corpo reasons.

  • tubabobby Bobby (@tubabobby) reported

    @DropboxSupport Dropbox has updated and now it's not possible to put dropbox in the sidebar on Finder on Mac - how do i fix this? When in settings the option isn't there and i hate having to click through folders to find it!

  • darkblockio Darkblock (@darkblockio) reported

    @S1r_G0at For fans, collectors, customers, consumers… decentralized content means forever-access to the content they buy without worrying about broken Dropbox links, unpinned IPFS content, or 404 messages on token-gated websites— even 50 years from now.

  • MattGarciaEth MattGarcia.eth (@MattGarciaEth) reported

    @MattVidPro it's just the power of simple UX people underestimate that, but over and over, the absolutely dumbed down, 0 friction UI/UXs outperform the rest (Google, iPhone, dropbox, netflix...)

  • CHKnyght Care H. Knyght-Be Kind (@CHKnyght) reported

    Anyone else have issues with dropbox talking to their tablet? It spazzes out all the time on my and i i have reboot or wait ages for it to unspaz. -.- it double or triple my work time cause i cant get it to function.

  • mileswestnow Miles (@mileswestnow) reported

    @sgodofsk Would you have also said why do we need Dropbox when you can just upload to an ftp server

  • xFaeryPrincessx Avalon 🎀 (@xFaeryPrincessx) reported

    @Pommster76 @14JJ_Candy I think it definitely compresses, if I try to upload the raw file from my phone straight to Dropbox it takes forever. It’s still slow but much faster to convert & upload via iMovie (which is otherwise too limited to be a worthwhile editing app on the phone)
