Dropbox made some kind of weird change to their stuff, and now my backup script doesn't back up the Dropbox directory anymore. Seriously, WTF?
If anyone has ideas or wants to suggest things, it's a DOS batch script that uses xcopy /d /e. Listing the source dir in DOS still shows all files, with newer mod dates than in the target dir. Dropbox reports source dir status as "Available on this device".
Any ideas? Or should I convert my backup script to Bash in WSL?

Dismiss. FO!
Let me guess, In a year it'll be 'upgrade your subscription to keep access to your online ONLY files'.
I repeat, local storage is comically cheap. You are a backup and syncing tool, nothing more. Go away.
NO! Hardrive space is comically cheap. I want you as a backup not a critical resource. GTFOH!
Hat schon mal jemand Jottacloud benutzt oder welche Dropbox-Alternativen benutzt ihr?
Does anyone use a good #dropbox alternative for cloud back up?
I've spent this morning going through https://openalternative.co/?alternative=dropbox and they're all not great.
Best options seem to be a paid Nextcloud host (e.g. I should go through the Nextcloud partners, https://nextcloud.com/partners/ , but they all seem to be aiming at businesses who need file-sharing, collaborative editing, and I just need backup)
I'm also trying @peergos but immediately encountered a bug, so I'm not optimistic currently

There's a growing movement on the #fedi that wants people to switch away from Big (US-based) Tech and towards #FOSS alternatives like #Linux, alternatives to #google, #Microsoft, #dropbox etc.
For #screenReader users, that might not be as simple as all that due to #accessibility reasons. This weekend's IC_Null stream aims to dig into this, but I need your help. What tools, services etc. should I look at from an #accessibility perspective? Anyone here who needs their tools evaluated? Anyone here who's curious about a particular tool or suite of tools? Let me know and I'll add it to the list. Anything goes. #selfHosting #blind #tech #EU
After a deeper look to #Joplin I say: We might be friends. I like what I saw so far.
But now I have to face the problem of synchronisation to use multiple devices.
A self hosted #Nextcloud would be the best. But I don’t have it. #Onedrive, #Dropbox und #S3 are no choice due to known reasons.
So the only option I have so far would be the cloud of @joplinapp.
But will my data be safe there? Where is the cloud hosted? US and countries where government can get access to it are a noGo
Just published a patch version update of the #Dropbox extension for #joomla
With it you can publish and show files that you have in your cloud storage directly on your website, without having to upload them again.

We are still working on allowing to connect also @OpenCloud and #ownCloud oCIS to Joomla

Hat jemand Erfahrung mit #pCloud als #Dropbox-Ersatz auf Windows? Taugt das was?
Gerne auch Hinweise auf andere #GDPR-konforme Lösungen, die sich gut/besser in #Windows integrieren.

In Google Summer of Code 2025 there is a proposal to make cloud storage services (like Dropbox and Google Drive) easily accessible from the VLC media player.

I really only use #dropbox out of habit and if they're moving to #linux hostility, perhaps it's time to finally stop paying them rent.
(My desktop manager does not require an "upgrade" to support gui bullshit. If I wanted to spend more processor cycles on stupid graphics, I would have already done so.)

#Nextcloud hat immer noch kein Deltasync, es synchronisiert also bei Änderung eines kleinen Teils einer Datei immer die gesamte Datei, dass ist in vielen Fällen ungünstig. #Dropbox hatte das schon vor mehr als 15 Jahren. #Syncthing kann das auch.
