Can tech fix it by 1. Disabling the dropbox account? 2. Stopping dropbox urls from resolving in their lan if need be? Or blocking dropbox ips? 3. Buying a md12

Can tech fix it by
1. Disabling the dropbox account?
2. Stopping dropbox urls from resolving in their lan if need be? Or blocking dropbox ips?
3. Buying a md1280 or similar storage quickly n put a freenas or similar on it?
4. Put syncthing or similar on all the user computers n this new nas?
- lazylizard 7y agoActually why is dropbox involved if its a git directory???
- lazylizard 7y agoGit annex? Sparkleshare? Can tech just stop the dropbox bit n just set up sparkleshare for everyone if git is holding up? If git is less than efficient..then syncthing, seafile would all work for their file sharing needs n r trivial to setup?
- djrogers 7y agoI think you missed the part where it’s not Dropbox as a file sharing solution that’s the only problem - their entire web app runs via Dropbox API calls from Heroku!
- justinclift 7y agoThey probably started out with Dropbox "back in the day" as a way for shared access to things (eg employees in multiple locations), and never put adequate time into moving to something more appropriate later on. Btw, it sounded like the "version control" mentioned wasn't git. Maybe they're doing full copies of the application + data into a timestamped directory or similar. That kind of thing chews disk space. :/
