| − | About three years ago, I stumbled across this comic during an xkcd re-read, and I immediately thought "Hey, the small business I work for could make GREAT use of Dropbox!" Today, my boss says that bringing Dropbox to her business is one of the best ideas I've ever had. [[User:Boct1584|Boct1584]] ([[User talk:Boct1584|talk]]) 01:22, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

| − | Guys, dropbox supports link-sharing, for users without an account. Although, that feature probably wasn't around at the time this comic

| − | Duke: I THINK that the TIM BERNERS LEE part is not just to do with the protocols. If you had to send it to your friend's laptop , you *could* mail it your friends email id rather than to yourself, essentially using the email service in the *right* manner.

| − | :After all these years I stumbled only now upon this note in Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV WebDAV] article:
| |
| − | :<q>Tim Berners-Lee's original vision of the Web involved a medium for both reading and writing. In fact, Berners-Lee's first web browser, called WorldWideWeb, could both view and edit web pages.</q>
| |
| − | :So Tim Berners-Lee was imaging an interactive web when he invented html and http, instead of the static "web 1.0", which came alive. In his envisioned web, people probably would have uploaded a file to a webpage directly, instead of using the web-interfaces of email providers or services like Dropbox, which are complicated work-arounds to achieve the same thing.

| − | Hah, now we have darkhttp. Just download and install (a matter of seconds), execute (give root-of-to-share folder) and forward the ports on your router (2mins max). This should be rather easy :-). Alternatives could be also tftp etc. Or send something via GDrive^^[[Special:Contributions/108.162.253.174|108.162.253.174]] 10:11, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

| − | :"forward the ports on your router" isn't "2mins max" if your ISP puts its residential subscribers behind [[wikipedia:Carrier-grade NAT|carrier-grade network address translation]]. For many, the only way out from behind CGNAT is to lease a static IP, and even for that, some ISPs require a commercially zoned service address. --[[User:Tepples|Tepples]] ([[User talk:Tepples|talk]]) 16:17, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

| − | True as it ever was. My grandfather was sending someone an MP3 of a radio show. Too large for email, WeTransfer wouldn't work, GDrive upload failed, ended up putting it on a USB stick and posting. --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.90.26|172.70.90.26]] 22:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

| − | : Tell your grandparents they can use simple ''anonymous'' filesharing website even E2EE for privacy: https://geekflare.com/secure-file-sharing/ — perhaps ''File.Pizza'' is the best for extralarge files because of P2P.
