Finding my app's website on this made me giggle :)

Can you enlighten me as to how it does not comply with GDPR? I would love to make sure it does.

That is a job for a paid lawyer, specialised on data protection laws. Or, 10 seconds of Google usage: https://gdpr.eu/privacy-notice/

Also, you are using Google Fonts, which in itself is a violation of GDPR: https://www.cookieyes.com/documentation/google-fonts-and-gdp...

The landing page looks nice and clean. But even if I wanted to try and use your SaaS, I couldn't responsibly do so: Your privacy policy does not comply to the GDPR, and I cannot find any information about the person or company providing this service.

Also, from your Terms of Service:

If you have any questions about these Terms of Service, please contact us at support@example.com.

This makes it look like you have just been using a pre-made template (or even software?) to launch your SaaS.

Just letting you know; Dropshare is now compatible with Horizon.

Glad to see Dropshare (my app) as an example for data ownership here. :)

While we had our own cloud storage provider for a while, Dropshare was always about "bring your own storage", because I sincerely believe in the importance of "owning your data". The first supported storage provider in the app 10 years ago was SCP over SSH (basically "bring your own server").

Simply put, lack of time maintaining it. It was rather a weekend-hack than a polished product.

Funny you ask, me and other people built something like this a few years (actually 7 years…) ago. It never really got past a few hundred initial users, thus has been shut down meanwhile.

Hi there,

Dropshare developer here.

I’d like to quickly clarify that the initial statements are untrue. The Webserver is used as communication bridge between the Share Extension and the app. It only accepts requests with a signature. It cannot delete, share or else manage any uploaded files, and has no code that could potentially cause any harm on your server (e.g. by executing things). It only accepts file urls from your local machine to be uploaded and again, only with a properly signed request.

It is unfair to compare this to the Zoom case since there is no potential vulnerability and other than you explain, there is no danger involved with someone making damage to files on your server or whatsoever.

Best, Timo

P.S.: Of course in case you think you did find indeed a vulnerability I am not aware of, please get in touch via support@getdropsha.re according to responsible disclosure.

The link in the footer has just been added and wasn't there when I wrote my comment.

How can a website / service be operated in 2015 without any contact or legal information? How am I supposed to use this for my personal information without being able to read the privacy statements or knowing who's operating the service to what purpose?

Edit: To make the reason for my comment clear, there was no link in the footer like there is now at the time I wrote it.

The best book about User Interface Design / User Experience I've read so far is Designed for Use by Lukas Mathis: http://www.amazon.com/Designed-Use-Create-Interfaces-Applica...

As far as I remember, customers who used a Promotion Code to buy something from the (Mac) App store are not able to leave a review for the app.

Also, please use the "hackernews" promo code when buying the non-Mac App Store version to receive a 50% discount after the trial exceeded.

They'll ship native support for the Sparkle framework soon, that's why they mention "automatic updates" on the website.

On the website, they say:

  - Automatic Updates
    Publish updates to your app or game instantly in just 3 clicks.

This looks actually pretty amazing and might be worth a shot.

So that means you are storing all the user-generated wallpapers on your servers, or are these user-submitted ones?

Same here.

BTW: I really like the clean design.

Not sure if troll, but.. XMPP is Jabber.

You have to offer a trial at least. The app looks nice, and I would be willing to pay 10 bucks for it, but not before I tested it. So, your turn.

Putting a # in front of every word is not exactly what hashtags are meant to be for.

However, I'm still unable to add new devices as the page never finishes loading after clicking "Submit" - there's also some JS errors in the console, so I guess they are still far away from restoring the Provisioning Portal.

Edit: Deleted my *.apple.com cookies, then it worked.

Same here.

You might want to consider if you want to go to OVH, because they recently had a security breach.

Before, I made apps using Appcelerator Titanium. Don't ask why I even started with that, Obj-C rocks!
