#dropbox — Public Fediverse posts

📉 Ah, the riveting tale of #Dropbox, where "I read a 10K" somehow becomes an argument for a private equity rescue. 🙄 Drew Houston, bless his heart, was out-Apple'd by Jobs—who knew a glorified folder would struggle in the big leagues? 🤷‍♂️

🎉 Oh, joy! Let's turn your #Dropbox into a magical #AI 'skill server' because apparently sharing genius-level skills should be as simple as dragging files into a folder. 🗂️ Forget the bewildering complexity of Git – who needs efficient #version #control when you have a shiny new app that screams 'savior of the #AI world' while doing the bare minimum? 🙄

Zojuist gooi ik de Dropbox app in de Appcleaner op mijn Macbook zodat het programma en alle bijbehorende bestanden wordt weggegooid. Nu deze pop-up in mijn gezicht. Alsof die griezelclown uit IT voor je neus staat (Pennywise, ik zocht het ff op). Griezeldingen! Hoe dan? Waarvandaan dan? Van wie is deze computer nu eigenlijk?
Hoe nu verder?

Finally ended dropbox subscription. Now that Nextcloud works reliable on European host and co-workers get the sharing right. Not a smooth transition but happy to get there. And a little dark pattern from dropbox at the end.
Bit of a shame since dropbox worked really smooth and reliable for over 10 years.

This Is A Bummer. Open Source Dropbox Client Maestral Will Shut Down

I would say Monday always seems to bring bad news, but bad news seems to show up on any day that ends in “y” lately. But this is a Monday and this is bad news. 

Maestral, an open source client for Dropbox has ceased to be maintained as of the end of June 2026 according to the develper on the app’s website. Hat tip to John Gruber who posted the news this morning, and for posting this quote from the developer.

As of 2026-07-28, this project is archived. It’s been a fun challenge to develop a syncing client, but unfortunately, I find too little time to invest in Maestral these days. I’ve also moved away from using Dropbox myself.

Maestral will still remain usable in the medium term, but will no longer be actively maintained or receive updates.

I’ve been using Maestral for quite some time to manage file syncing on Dropbox, primarily because I despise Dropbox’s own apps. Maestral is a far cleaner and less resource intensive experience, and has more than served my needs syncing files back and forth. So, I’ll either have to bite the bullet and swallow some pretty foul tasting software again, or find a different solution. 

The different solution will be a difficult one as I work with a variety of theaters and clients, all of which using different file syncing and sharing solutions, (Google’s solution being the runner up to Dropbox) so I have to keep up with most of the file syncing services out there. 

All shows must close at some point, but it’s a shame to see this one posted it’s closing notice. I wouldn’t count on any new ones appearing on the horizon. 

Thanks for reading. You can subscribe to this blog if you care to. You can also find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above. This site does not use affilate links.

Considering switching to Proton for email and cloud storage, to replace Live mail and Dropbox. Anyone with experience in integrating Proton services with Linux (Ubuntu / Mint) and/or iPhone / iPad?

Just found this in an old folder (I.m moving from #DropBox to #pCloud ) I have no memory of being given it and don't know how I was allowed to wear it in a school staff room! 🤣

أعلنت أداة Claude Code عن إطلاق ملحق جديد لمنصة Dropbox يتيح للمستخدمين الوصول المباشر والسريع إلى ملفات المشاريع والمواصفات الفنية والوثائق من داخل المنصة نفسها. يهدف هذا التكامل البرمجي المتميز إلى تمكين المطورين من الرجوع بسهولة إلى المواد الداعمة واستخدامها كسياق مرجعي هام أثناء تطوير الميزات الجديدة، أو توليد الأكواد البرمجية، أو اقتراح استراتيجيات التنفيذ الفعالة، مما يساهم في تحسين جودة العمل وتسريع وتيرة الإنتاجية الإجمالية للمشاريع البرمجية.

Ever more frequent pop-ups from Dropbox reminding me I'm almost at capacity & urging me to upgrade have finally spurred me to action... & start migrating to @filen Filen.io 😆

Here's my referral link, if you want a Dropbox-style cloud drive but with more space, encryption, German privacy laws etc & earn me a bit more free space too

So, I've been using #Bazzite for about a month or month and a half now. I went ahead and moved all of my data out of One Drive and moved it to #Dropbox so it syncs between my desktop, iPhone, and Macbook. Bazzite runs a hell of a lot better than Windows and my hardware is not at all old or underpowered. There are also some pretty well put together apps, like Tuba for #Fediverse platforms. My games work. I'm pretty satisfied with how this all turned out. #Linux

Dropbox : 17 ans plus tard, Steve Jobs avait-il raison ? http://dlvr.it/TSllbN #Dropbox #DrewHouston

CNBC: Dropbox CEO Drew Houston to step down after 19 years at helm of cloud storage pioneer. “Drew Houston founded Dropbox nearly two decades ago at age 24, eventually becoming a household name in Silicon Valley and the first tech entrepreneur to take a company from the Y Combinator incubator program all the way to the public market. Now, at 43, Houston is ready to do something else.”

#Dropbox #CEO #DrewHouston is stepping down after 19 years, transitioning to an executive chairman role. #AshrafAlkarmi, currently product chief, will become co-CEO and eventually take over the role. Houston, who founded Dropbox at 24, acknowledges the company’s challenges in distinguishing itself from competitors like Google and Apple. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/26/dropbox-ceo-drew-houston-ashraf-alkarmi.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news
