Everyone has files. Be it Photoshop documents, some PDFs, or any kind of media that resides on a hard drive, Dropbox, or somewhere else. It's just another silo.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: File storage and sharing
I'm glad to see serious competition for 20-year-old dinosaurs like Dropbox Sign (ex HelloSign)... They've gone undisrupted for far too long.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: General e-signature platform (implied as an incumbent)
Have been using Dropbox for free for well over a decade – I would pay but their entry level plan far exceeds what I need.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Cloud storage and file syncing for over a decade
I also prefer to use my own rsync setup than sign up for Dropbox.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: File sharing and storage, implied alternative to personal rsync setup
For storage platforms like Dropbox... it can be as simple as ctrl+c ing the data out of there every now and then.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Storage platform for data
the phishers use any of the free file sharing sites. I ve seen dropbox... URLs used as well.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Used by phishers to host malicious files/links
You can backup the data locally... or to your dropbox.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Optional encrypted backup destination for user data.
Nothing bad ever happened. (+ Dropbox Backup + Time Machine + my whole home folder is git versioned and github backuped)
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Backup system for their setup
Was Apple so certain of buying Dropbox that this was left undone?
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Implied as a potential cloud file system alternative due to iPad's lack of a native file system.
They likely split files into chunks (probably 4MB or 16MB blocks, similar to Dropbox) and hash each block independently.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Implied reference for its technical approach to file synchronization and deduplication
The HN critique is pointless noise honestly (sorry guys but that s how it usually is, queue Dropbox critique).
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: File storage/syncing (implied from historical context)
Clients who are not technical never had trouble signing. The interface is so simple it basically requires no instructions.
manual_batch2c_ds1 • Use case: client contract signing
Free plan is actually usable for a small consultancy — 3 signature requests a month covers all our new client onboarding.
manual_batch2c_ds2 • Use case: contract management
Works great for simple signing but if you need to swap a PDF page or auto-fill repeated fields it falls short.
manual_batch2c_ds3 • Use case: document workflows
Audit trail and timestamps on every signature give us the compliance documentation we need without enterprise pricing.
manual_batch2c_ds5 • Use case: compliance documentation
Switched from DocuSign to save money. Same legally binding signatures, half the price for our volume.
manual_batch2c_ds4 • Use case: esignature cost reduction
Dropbox is often times used where it doesn't fit... it's a wrong tool for the job, but that's what they use for the (perceived) lack of better alternatives.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Distributing sales documents (catalogs, pricelists, pictures, forms, instructions) to a salesforce.
I was at Box in the early days when one of the big value props is that people would actually use it, because at the time they were using unsanctioned tools like Dropbox.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Unsanctioned file sharing/storage by employees
If Dropbox did not adapt to your workflow, then just _don't use Dropbox_.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Syncing and sharing files across computers as an alternative to USB drives or email.
Pricing may be higher than other basic e-signature solutions for premium features
