i like this one because they were like "quick guys! we need to show that we're more digital!" and then *picks an RGB color instead of a CMYK color* *Picks a san serif font that looks real close*

Dropbox just announced a new pro tier.

it’s twice the cost as their regular plan, you don’t get any extra storage, but it enables ‘Smart sync’ aka through a ton of hacks they trick your OS into making it look like you have your files in your computer but they’re actually not (when you open them it’ll furiously download them from The Cloud). you also get finer-grained ACLs and access logs.

The two-year gap between when they announced Smart Sync and when they actually let people publicly use it should say everything.

No it depends on surrounding consonants so it's kodick in this case because you'd have to do more effort to say koduhk

can you then point the onedrive folder to the dropbox location and create an infinite loop?

you get stuck with whichever one you had when you became famous

fun fact: when popular music group The Butthole Surfers were getting started out, they played under a different band name every show. at one show the announcer misread the title of one of their songs ("butthole surfer") as the band name, and after that show they coincidentally got written up in a bunch of articles, and from then on were stuck with the name

I am the second illegitimate son of gawd who resides in hoaven.
Is spider oak worth using? I hosed around on a trial and it seemed alright other than it creating a worthless LIVE folder that in their FAQ says "Why would you want to remove it :smug:"

Dropbox seems like they are doing constant fucky poo poo and having issues trying to be bleeding edge.

Should I just bite the bullet and use dropshit, assbox, shitass?

Dropbox try all sorts of new poo poo but haven’t hosed with core functionality for as long as I can remember. if you want files synced across platfroms and cloud storage that is what you’ll get.

you’ll also get whatever the current website is

except for 1974 because drugs or something

idk what the 1956 to 1974 is meant to showcase

they used the word mark next to the logo, or surrounding it, continuously, from the 50s right up to the Agilent sponoff

i am aware of their branding history because in college labs we still had 1960s hp gear for a few specialized items. if it ain't broke why fix it
