![]() ![]() There was no appeal process for these infractions, either. ![]() Heck, one of my friends was expelled for possessing a switchblade comb because things that looked like weapons were banned. I almost didn't graduate because of that. This was the same semester as the Columbine shooting, so I guess schools were on edge about students who might want to kill other students, which I definitely did not want to do, but apparently writing about people who want to do that kind of thing can easily be misconstrued as autobiographical. In my senior year of high school, I developed a bit of a fascination with historical serial killers and turned in an assignment for AP English exploring the mindset, and my teacher promptly turned it over to the school's counseling service, and I was forced to see a counselor, questioned about violent tendencies, given a 0 on the assignment, and a C in the class. Humans can have just as overzealous a response as those robots. The laws haven't kept up with the times, and they haven't kept up with the creative ways people with money try to fuck over those without. I'm sick of big companies hiding behind an opaque wall of bullshit, if this was a small town dispute between two individuals this would be transparently settled one way or another and that's exactly how it should be on the internet. The entire process must be auditable by other by both sides and a neutral third party. Let's start with that law, all ToS interfaces must include an interface for users to upload their own modifications and companies must have a human interpret them (not some shitty 'ai') and decide to accept them in a reasonable time frame, and if the company chooses to decline them they cannot ban the user from the service for this, the last ToS that they accepted must be the one that their interaction with the customer is conducted under. Why can't we modify the terms of agreement? The idea that companies can change their ToS on a whim every day and push out walls of text that no one reads and everyone clicks through is insane. The whole concept of ToS needs to be overhauled with vast amounts of practice that is currently considered acceptable thrown right in the fucking trash. Something like this definitely needs legislation. Suddenly, the server in your basement doesn't look so bad in comparison, and neither are the smaller companies that actually have people you can talk to. I mean, no one expects companies like Microsoft to go bankrupt anytime soon, and they certainly know about backups and redundancy, but what's the point if all it takes for your data to disappear is an artificial brain fart. Often, big companies justify the premium price they ask with reliability. It is not the same mechanism (one is a chemical reaction, the other is a mindless algorithm), but the end result is the same: you lose your data.īut once you take that into account, the value proposition of big cloud providers takes a hit. Dropbox (and Microsoft, Google, etc.) is also not to be trusted, just like your hard drive can crash or your servers can catch fire, Dropbox can delete your data. We already don't trust hard drives, that's why we have RAID, we don't even trust RAID arrays, that's why we have backups, and we don't trust the place where backups are stored, that's why we have off-site backups. "cloud providers" should be treated like something that can fail. And if there is something that will bring down "big tech", I think that's it. ![]() It’s a simple-and effective-way to stand out in your clients’ cluttered inboxes and give your work the professional sheen it deserves.I don't think it is something that needs legislation.īut it definitely needs more publicity. Recipients will see them when they view shared links and in email notifications for links. Now you can do just that from Dropbox by customizing your shared links with branded sharing.īranded sharing gives you the ability to present files with your logo, company name, and a background image. Part of that success is reminding clients who you are whenever they hear from you. Make shared links your ownĪnyone who’s worked in a client-based business will tell you: you’re only as good as your last success. That’s why we introduced two Dropbox Professional features-along with computer backup and Dropbox Passwords-that give link sharing an upgrade. Freelancers want to represent their business and make sure that their clients are getting what they need. ![]() For many people, sharing through Dropbox isn’t just about sending files-it’s an important part of their business. ![]()
