Dropbox Transfer

Good to see them finally doing something addressing actual user needs for a change, instead of chasing greener pastures. Given my informal observations over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if transferring large files was the main need that drives users to Dropbox - when dealing with individuals and companies outside tech, I frequently saw them giving the advice to "get a Dropbox" when someone needed to send them more files than fit in an e-mail.

This is the first thing Dropbox has done in a long while that makes sense to me as an external observer. Great product idea and totally reinforces the prime Dropbox use cases.

Trying to make a list of URLs to share looks like ass here.

I do music production as a side hobby. Virtually all the producers and studios I&#x27;ve worked with use WeTransfer. It&#x27;s fast, efficient, and free.<p>I can&#x27;t see any reason to switch.

Can we really trust Dropbox for such activity ? Just wondering... I Get it , we can of course encrypt file before sending anything to dropbox, but anyway... Just curious on your opinion ! There is also send file from Firefox, with lower limit of course....<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;send.firefox.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;send.firefox.com&#x2F;</a>

&quot;try for free&quot; - can&#x27;t see what the pricing for this is anywhere. Does it require Dropbox plus?

It&#x27;s cool that they&#x27;re doing something obvious and obviously useful this time.<p>It&#x27;s sad that we don&#x27;t have a better way to send files to other people than to create a Dropbox account, upload files, then send a link over email.<p>I&#x27;ve written <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;filemap.xyz&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;filemap.xyz&#x2F;</a> so people are able to send files and links without having to send URLs, instead you just agree on a common geographical location -- but of course this isn&#x27;t the best possible solution yet.

I use <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.swisstransfer.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.swisstransfer.com&#x2F;</a>, which even if it only supports 50Gb and not 100Gb, it is totally free and doesn&#x27;t need a account to upload the files. Way easier

Does normal Dropbox have “download notifications”? Is this any different than just emailing a link to a shared Dropbox file?

So I need to have a Dropbox account to be able to use Dropbox Transfer. And Firefox requires me to sign up to be able to use Firefox Send.<p>Why not MiDrive Transfer. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transfer.midrive.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transfer.midrive.io</a>

Dropbox is not going to win me back as a user. Not after they chose to drop support for non-APFS&#x2F;HFS+ filesystems on macOS without sufficient explanation.

Not sure how I feel that security is casually referenced as a passing thought on that page.<p>Compare it with something else, like Firefox Send, which puts security and privacy front-and-center in its description. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;send.firefox.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;send.firefox.com&#x2F;</a><p>Why should I trust Dropbox Transfer over Firefox Send?

Seems useful, and a step in the right direction. I think the future of file sharing is permanent URLs to files stored on decentralized hard drives, with dead simple access control settings (ie here&#x27;s the list of email addresses that can access this file). You need either ipv6 (plus an ISP that allows port 80), or some sort of proxy for this to work. Range requests must be supported. Also I think it needs to be designed from the ground up for sharing not just with people, but also with apps, just like you can access Google drive data using their API. It&#x27;s surprising to me that WebDAV is the closest thing we have to an open protocol for doing this sort of thing. I think we need something simpler, with a standardized auth protocol. Maybe RemoteStorage, but honestly it still looks complicated to me.

My company (Fortune 500 Aerospace&#x2F;Defense) has implemented something like this for years now.<p>I’ve personally used it to send CAD files to outside manufacturers&#x2F;suppliers who are under an NDA.<p>I’ve really grown to like the service and always wished I could use it for personal stuff so I will definitely be trying this out.

When I saw this I thought, Finally, A Way to Transfer Large Files. But alas, it is only for small files, up to 100GB. And it gives no indication of using resumable and fault tolerant transfer.<p>If you want to transfer a large amount of data (like backups or any big data collection, like a couple of years of RAW photos) via the cloud (e.g. because of NAT and firewalls) it is still better to rent a machine from Linode&#x2F;Digital Ocean&#x2F;OVH and use a tool like BT Sync or rsync (simple but low bandwidth).

i&#x27;m a huge fan of magic wormhole for simpler workflows (e.g. send some files in a dir within a local network). it&#x27;s CLI based, so not for your average computer laborer but it&#x27;s easy, secure, compact, and awesome for moving things around.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;warner&#x2F;magic-wormhole" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;warner&#x2F;magic-wormhole</a>

Ha. I could do this with git, an ec2 instance, sftp a few Perl scripts and 200 lines of JavaScript.<p>Why would I use this service?

Been a loyal user for years. Recently switched to pcloud for better pricing and Linux compatibility.<p>They also offer a free 5gb transfer tool: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transfer.pcloud.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transfer.pcloud.com&#x2F;</a>

This is amazing, but I wonder if traditional enterprises would accept Dropbox to be secure. In the startup world, this will be great though.

What&#x27;s wrong with GG Drive? In my country people use GG Drive to share all kind of files.

If you need to send large files to someone, you can use Firefox Send:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;send.firefox.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;send.firefox.com&#x2F;</a><p>The file is encrypted, the urls are expiring, it costs nothing.

I&#x27;m done with Dropbox. I spent years preaching the Dropbox gospel to my family and friends. When Dropbox decided to fuck their free users by limiting them to three devices I got over a dozen pissed-off phonecalls blaming me.

I dropped my paid Dropbox account when they instituted &quot;two factor authentication&quot; because it broke the use case of file transfer between trusted parties using a single account. Now I&#x27;m going to drop my OneDrive account for the same reason.
