#Datensicherheit in der #Politik - wenn die #Dropbox immer noch der Goldstandard ist: Schon die gescheiterte #NIS2-Umsetzung hat im vergangenen Jahr gezeigt, dass das Thema #Cybersecurity definitiv noch nicht nicht überall in der Politik angelangt ist. Nun wurden im Rahmen einer Recherche über 500 Darknet-Datenleaks von Politiker:innen festgestellt - u.a. für Dropbox. In einem Fall konnten gar 14 Passwörter im Klartext einer Einzelperson zugeordnet werden:

#Dropbox Konto erfolgreich gelöscht.

Das war meine erste Cloud und ich hatte viele sehr alte Dokumente, Bilder usw dort drinnen. Das war auch eine gute Gelegenheit alte "Datei-Leichen" durchzugehen. Vieles hatte ich nämlich bereits vergessen, das meiste konnte aber eh weg - manches hab ich aber auch gern ins neue Zuhause rüberkopiert.

Als Löschgrund hab ich übrigens #BuyFromEU angegeben.

Do I have any friends on here using Sync (i.e., sync.com, the Canadian Dropbox alternative) who can tell me about how well it works? In any case, I think I’ll sign up for a free plan and see how it goes. I’d love to get off #Dropbox.

One of the features I really like that differentiates Sync from OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox is their use of "zero-knowledge" authentication: they don't store your encryption key and cannot decrypt your files without your knowledge.

This policy does add some processing overhead. Years ago, I sometimes found file synchronization slow. But these days, I find it works transparently in the background as it should.

What a luck #dropbox destroyed its paper product, which was my favorite #quicknotes tool and last tie to dropbox.Now using #hedgedoc and never been that happy.Amazing tool. Once again #opensource rules.And that #vim support,what a touch of genius! :-)

@jni Interesting - one of the things I currently use #DropBox for is photos (and automatically syncing new shots from my iPhone), #Ente might cover this: https://ente.io/compare/ente-vs-dropbox/

DropBox don't seem to make it easy to check folder sizes on the web-view…

Am researching alternatives to #dropbox # datamigration - apparently @nextcloud does not only have enterprise solutions, but also individual plans, and 15Gb is free! That will do for now...

Don't know where to host your files in Europe? You can create an account at #pCloud (located in Switzerland) and benefit from up to 10 GB and more of a service that promises.

If you create it from the link below, you'll be helping me by adding 1 GB to my account and then you can do the same for yourself.

Apps are offered for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

Number of screens to jump through to cancel a #dropbox plan? something like 4, good gosh. dark patterns galore.

Many thanks to all those of you who replied to my question about Dropbox alternatives recently.

Many of you suggested Nextcloud, and having played around with it for a bit, I think it will do nicely.

So I am now embarking on the surprisingly complex project of moving everything I had in Dropbox to Nextcloud.

Thanks also to whoever it was who suggested Hetzner for hosting Nextcloud, which seems to work nicely.

Reducing my dependence on US tech, one service at a time.

#Dropbox #Nextcloud

Sporo aplikacji używa (tylko) #DropBox do backupowania ustawień czy archiwów. Macie jakąś metodę żeby zostać na np darmowym planie tam a dane na bieżąco kopiować na jakąś inną usługę - mogło by to być coś co już ma wbudowane sychronizowanie z dropboxem.
Na zasadzie kopiuj z dropbox i kasuj jakies wybrane katalogi
Raczej preferuję mac ;)
Chętnie bym poprzenosił rzeczy z paru moich chmur łącznie ze zdjęciami z iCloud (teraz mam rodzinne 200GB).
Widzę sporo alternatyw
https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/dropbox
ale głównie zależy mi na archiwizacji i bezpieczeństwie w znaczeniu ryzyka utraty danych.
Oczywiście mam też backup lokalny (1 HDD ale zawsze).
Odpada jakieś combo z usługą pocztową bo na razie nie planuję (znów!) zmiany

Malvertising : GitHub, Dropbox et Discord utilisés pour infecter un million d’appareils

#Microsoft a découvert fin 2024 une campagne de « malvertising » utilisant des sites de streaming vidéo pour télécharger des malwares sur #GitHub, #Dropbox ou encore #Discord.

Não consigo entender como o #pcloud (um serviço de nuvem similar ao #dropbox) conseguiu me arranjar um conflito entre versões de um arquivo que eu criei agora há pouco e só foi editado nessa máquina. Tá conflitando com qual versão se a versão desta máquina é a única existente, seu software esquizofrênico?!

A propos, does anyone have any good news/war stories about https://www.pcloud.com/eu?ref=104038 ? They seem pretty good to me.

New laptop, time to ditch #dropbox, I think. Any pointers on what the least enshittified competitor is at the moment? Ideally with a reasonably functioning client.

Is it #NextCloud? I've been hearing some grumbling about that recently...
