Here's the actual security advisory, which contains much more information than the fluff article about it.

Good thing my company just switched from their service! Their customer service was truly awful, too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What did they switch to?

Enjoy my butthole pics, you creep

I mean, you chose to have them on someone else's computer, your butthole was never safe.

Lmao… who uses Dropbox in 2024?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What a weird thing to say about a company that had $2.5B in revenue last year and 17M paying subscribers.

It's like saying "who users gmail these days?", where the answer is a shit ton of people just not the early adopters that have moved on.

This is about Dropbox Sign, which probably includes a lot of HelloSign customers from before the acquisition.

I used it a lot when I was in college, it was very useful for that case scenario, I'm talking around 2011-2014, after that it is just sitting there without much usage from my side (especially since I got a Synology NAS), I remember doing "hacks" to get more free storage lol.

Anyway, I think cloud services are used a lot nowadays, just as they were when they became mainstream...
