Matthias Klein 🇪🇺|🇩🇪Schade! 😞 Dropbox stellt zum 28. Oktober 2025 seinen Password-Manager ein.Das trifft mich besonders, da ich Dropbox Passwords gerne für kleinere Vereine als Teil einer einfachen Intranet-Lösung zusammen mit der normalen Dropbox verwendet habe. War eine praktische Kombination für Organisationen ohne großes IT-Budget oder -Know-how.Jetzt heißt es umstellen - die Daten lassen sich zum Glück exportieren und zu anderen Password-Managern migrieren. Dropbox empfiehlt 1Password als Alternative. 🔐Für die Vereine bedeutet das wieder eine Umstellung und wahrscheinlich zusätzliche Kosten. Schade um einen Service, der einfach funktioniert hat.ℹ️ Mehr Infos: <a href="https://help.dropbox.com/de-de/installs/dropbox-passwords-discontinuation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://help.dropbox.com/de-de/installs/dropbox-passwords-discontinuation</a><a href="https://me.klein.ruhr/tags/dropbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dropbox</a> <a href="https://me.klein.ruhr/tags/passwordmanager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PasswordManager</a> <a href="https://me.klein.ruhr/tags/vereine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vereine</a> <a href="https://me.klein.ruhr/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SelfHosting</a> <a href="https://me.klein.ruhr/tags/digitalesouver%C3%A4nit%C3%A4t" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitaleSouveränität</a> <a href="https://me.klein.ruhr/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a>

Loki the CatDropbox just proved even they struggle with password management 🔐 Shutting down their password manager by Oct 28 after just 4 years. Users get until then to export data before it's gone forever. Their reason?

Kagan MacTane (he/him)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?<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Dropbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dropbox</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#help</a>

Raglan Niall :lk: :tinoflag: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.

Danny GarsideDoes anyone use a good <a href="https://social.coop/tags/dropbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dropbox</a> alternative for cloud back up? I've spent this morning going through <a href="https://openalternative.co/?alternative=dropbox" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://openalternative.co/?alternative=dropbox</a> and they're all not great.Best options seem to be a paid Nextcloud host (e.g. I should go through the Nextcloud partners, <a href="https://nextcloud.com/partners/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://nextcloud.com/partners/</a> , but they all seem to be aiming at businesses who need file-sharing, collaborative editing, and I just need backup)I'm also trying <a href="https://mastodon.social/@peergos" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@peergos</a> but immediately encountered a bug, so I'm not optimistic currently

Space HoboDear <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/LazyWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LazyWeb</a>, I have a question about online storage services.I'm part of a volunteer organisation that has a lot of people of extremely wide and varied technical abilities. A couple decades ago, one of the dearly departed members set up a <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/DropBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DropBox</a> account for the group, and it has served them reasonably well over the years. But right now they're starting to feel like maybe it's a bit long in the tooth, and they aren't sure about paying for more storage if there are better choices.Two of us are absolutely GenX Linux nerds, who will mount whatever it is via `rclone` and move on, but some members are in their 30s and some in their 80s and we need something that works for everyone. Bonus if we can use a company that doesn't kill people or forests or oceans to make their service work, although I realise that's often a vain hope these days.Does anyone have good suggestions for a resilient file hosting/sharing service in 2025?

Sean RileySo apparently DropBox bills everyone for shared storage. Someone shares their files with you, DropBox counts every MB 2x. Share with 4 people 4x.Great rates if you can get them I guess.<a href="https://opensocial.media/tags/DropBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DropBox</a> <a href="https://opensocial.media/tags/scam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scam</a>
