      Nobody uses dropbox because they like dropbox. They use it because it’s usually the only such service supported by the stupid fucking app they need on the stupid fucking ipad their company insists they use which has no other viable way to put files on and off of the fucking cunting thing because apple is fucking stupid and so is this god damn company.

      Someone once told the IT manager that apple devices are “the most secure” and he doesn’t even fucking realise that by forcing us to use fucking stupid third party fucking services like fucking dropbox to get files on and off that they are subjecting confidential commercial fucking information to being fucking exposed to third fucking party boneless fucking cunts.

        Obsidian user with self-maintained vault sync across MacOS, Android and Linux, reporting for duty! 🙄

        Gave up on Google Drive, MacOS and Android worked perfectly, Linux was a complete pain and never got it working properly. Screw you, Google, get your shit together and support Linux, already! 😡

          Gnome Desktop makes Google services easy. You go into accounts and add your google credentials, it then sets up Gdrive in file browser, email, and calendar for you. But even though I like Gnome i got rid of google since they suck now

            Yeah, I’m on Fedora/KDE, maybe that’s the issue 🤔

            Fun twist, the Linux laptop is actually a beloved Chromebook (the fantastic Asus C302) that Google EOL’d and that I then converted to Linux 😅

        As somebody that sometimes has to do ticket support, you would be surprises how many people have chosen drop box over SMB NFS or a sync client. Maybe because they or their IT didn’t have basic Shares knilowledge so DropBox was the simplest method they found.
