Fake: you’re

Gay: dude probably prefers dudes, which is awesome. Hope he’s gettin infinity dickens.

Chewmungus ,

TIL if you don’t lose your virginity heterosexually by 17 then you’re probably gay, which is still awesome

OneWomanCreamTeam ,

Or maybe he’s just 17. Like, sure lots of people are fucking by then, but maybe he wants to do it with someone he’s emotionally attached to, and hasn’t found someone he’s compatible with and mutually interested in.

Or maybe just ace.

Like, it’s not like it’s weird to not have had sex before 17. When I was 17 I was very much bisexual (still am), but I wouldn’t have fucked someone that my friends just payed to fuck me.

I don’t think it’s even that complicated…

Western society says men need an excuse to turn down sex. That it has to be a matter of attraction or morals or something

You can just not be feeling it. There doesn’t have to be a reason

Dropdox and Mega,nz are the worst file sharing service ever made, I don’t know why people still using their service and it’s infuriating when I have to download from their shitty ass website

ive always hated Dropbox so much. it’s terrible with syncing as well.

Can you recommend a good service?

ColdWater ,

Megadb.net is pretty good

morriscox ,

“Upload is temporarly disabled for unregistered users.

Registered users can login to upload.”

There’s some irony here.

Name one file sharing service that allow more than 2GB without an account

AndrewZabar ,

I have used both for many years and everything has worked absolutely as intended and I’ve had no problems.

Maybe not everyone knows what they’re doing completely? Maybe many people do something wrong by mistake but don’t know it? Or do, but they’re impatient? Or they get frustrated because they don’t want to fix their problem on their own and expect the product to be totally idiot-proof?

As an IT professional for several decades, I can attest this is the problem like 80% of the time.

Moonrise2473 , to assholedesign in Dropbox now requires login to download a shared file

Shared from a paid account or from a free account?

If shared from paid account, then tomorrow I’m going to cancel our company account as this is unacceptable, we use that for sharing files in emails (we tried to use a self hosted nextcloud but customers are too dumb to figure out how to press the download button)

LodeMike OP ,

Paid. There may have been something that affected it but we don’t know what. Can you do your own tests and report back?

Moonrise2473 ,

Both on mobile and desktop there’s a “login wall” but it can be dismissed by pressing on the X.

Still, it’s a dark pattern that I don’t like, tomorrow at work we will discuss alternatives as we subscribed (one single account shared between everyone) just for sending attachments with filelink using thunderbird - and with a “login wall” it no longer fits the purpose

LodeMike OP ,

What fucking X? Where is it?

Moonrise2473 ,

On the top right. Maybe it’s some a/b testing to see which one “converts” (=annoys) more. I don’t have the “just take me to the download” link like in the other image, just the X to close the login popup

Unacceptable IMHO, I just want to give my clients an easy link to download the huge files I’m sending them without ads or tricks. With this wall many users will get confused and create a new account

LodeMike OP ,

Yeah it’s gotta be A-B testing. Switching to dl=1 just returned a passive-aggressive “Hmm that doesn’t look right” page. I didn’t check the error code because mobile.

Luci , to assholedesign in Dropbox now requires login to download a shared file
@Luci@lemmy.ca avatar

Are you sure the person sharing the file didn’t turn on a requirement for only logged in accounts?

LodeMike OP ,

Yes

jbk , to assholedesign in Dropbox now requires login to download a shared file

i wonder if yt-dlp could download files automatically from dropbox lol

lurch , to assholedesign in Dropbox now requires login to download a shared file

Maybe I shouldn’t have bought their stock a while ago… but it was so cheap 😅

I guess I’m stuck with it now 😑

LodeMike OP ,

You can sell it?

nokturne213 ,

But only if you sell it to a logged in account.

LodeMike OP ,

Ha

lurch ,

i would make a loss because of the tax on stock trades in my country and the fee of my banks broker ☹

but, as I mentioned it was kinda cheap, so not much money stuck in it. (i only trade shares for fun. i spend the money from my gaming budget on it, since i’m not very interested in new PC and console games any more.)

LodeMike OP ,

Aw.

slazer2au ,

Depending on your country you might be able to do the following:

Use the loss to offset capital gains on other stocks you sell
Deduct the brokers fees from your taxable income.

subignition , to assholedesign in Dropbox now requires login to download a shared file
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

That's pretty scummy. It doesn't require login on desktop view.

Two workarounds:

  1. enable desktop view, then you can close the login prompt and zoom way in to find the actual download button
  2. easier, change dl=0 to dl=1 at the end of the URL and it will bypass all of that and download directly.
LodeMike OP , (edited )

I am on Desktop view

subignition ,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Then I would question whether the file was shared correctly by the uploader. I shared a file from my Dropbox, setting it so anyone with the link could view, and was able to download it from desktop view on mobile Firefox (in incognito mode)

There is an option to require a password to view the file, is there any possibility that that was set in your case?

LodeMike OP ,

No possibility.

subignition ,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Only other thing I can think of is the specific mobile device/browser combo isn't properly requesting the desktop site. Or there is somehow an entirely separate sharing option that is functioning differently

LodeMike OP ,

It is requesting it properly. Mobile site only gives me option to download or open app.

PunnyName , to assholedesign in Dropbox now requires login to download a shared file

When something is free, you are the product.

LodeMike OP , (edited )

Except the vast majority of Dropbox users pay for it.

Edit: adjusted to how much they use it/share files.

mindlight ,

That’s interesting. My experience is the exact opposite. Do you have any links to information on paying Dropbox customers?

beefalo ,

It's in the earnings reports: https://dropbox.gcs-web.com/financial-information/earnings-reports
18.16M paying customers in Q2 2024

Irremarkable ,
@Irremarkable@fedia.io avatar

Dropbox's own website claims they have >700M users.

18M paying customers is a lot (and I wouldn't be surprised if in terms of percentage of data stored paying customers are the majority), but nowhere near a vast majority.

subignition ,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

If you were to look at the average cloud storage usage per user, split by free or paid, I think you would find that free users are using rather less space in total than you'd expect

But I agree, I did some of their cute ARG stuff for extra space when they were still acting like a startup and otherwise haven't paid them a cent.

Moonrise2473 ,

Free usage is still limited to 2gb unless you got a lot of referrals. It was a lot in 2008, but it’s difficult to daily use that in 2024

friend_of_satan ,

When something is free, you are fuel in the machine that is the product.

Unless it’s Nextcloud?

AndrewZabar ,

Yeah except in this case this entire complaint is bullshit because somewhere there was user error. I tested it and it worked totally fine just using mobile browser. Simply offered to get app or continue using browser.

I hope they bump into each other in 5 years and unexpectedly fall in love.

If that isn’t a great romcom premise, I don’t know what is.
