Literally all I want from Dropbox is to sync files between my various devices. I am not interested in doing anything else with it.

- PurpleRamen 8y agoI think improving on the syncing-workflow and enhancing it to offer more then just syncing would be something useful. Something like automated actions, or filters. I store sourcecode in my dropbox, and I really would prefer a way to not sync certain junk-files from compiling-process. Or let it automatically commit to a git-repo if there are changes in certain folders. Something like IFTTT for files seems a sane solution that dropbox seem to miss for a long time now.

- TuringNYC 8y agoThats what I wanted it for. Then a single license magically turned into 5 enterprise licenses, became impossible to cancel, and drove me away from the company forever. I mean...$750/yr to sync files? Please dont mess up HelloSign like you did with the parent company!
