@wenwen @theonlyDINO @ethanzbernstein @darian314 Congrats @wenwen

@nestle Dr. Kariko deserves a lifetime supply of Goobers for her incredible story (and ad) open.spotify.com/episode/2xOFCc…

@carostrachan Thanks for coming by Caroline - looking forward to staying in touch!

A great opportunity while in SF to meet with new #BusinessTravel players. Thanks @cbyeh and the Whereto team for such an engaging debate. Keep going, you're focused on all the right pieces! #BeTheRoad

Wiretap is thrilled to announce our newest advisor, @cbyeh, former head of product at @Box! Chris brings a wealth of industry product experience and knowledge that will help drive us forward at even greater speeds 🚀 Welcome to the team, Chris! wiretap.com/company/news-e…

@bgewehr Certainly possible from a technology point of view but probably too narrow conceptually. Maybe more of an edge compute/store sort of play versus a rack device. Best of luck Bernd.

@cbyeh What we need is a branch caching device that connects to multiple cloud service providers via APIs to cache the files that were recently used and cares for them when updates in the cloud service get available. If we achieve a global locking additionally - must see. #Kickstarter?

@cbyeh i wonder if you are working on what we urgently need to change to box. We ask for a box branch cache appliance, giving cifs/smb file shares to people in a branch location using content from #box. You know, the #we drive, instead of the desktop sync #me drive. Any plans?

@bgewehr Ok - I get it. The only way to achieve that is with a machine running in a data center with extremely close physical proximity to the user. I don’t think we get there with even good edge compute and storage. Pretty straightforward otherwise, just probably not a focus for Box.

@cbyeh No, the opposite is the request. Global file locking, combined with near real-time sync. This gives a company a file server experience like working on one common file server. Remote access is no option, apps need 1ms latency.

@bgewehr Not sure why an appliance per se would solve this issue. Is the core of the question whether an individual file can be worked on simultaneously by many people? If that’s the case, then only the application owner (e.g., AutoDesk, Adobe, Microsoft) can drive at that level.

@cbyeh Tjat‘s where the box appliance could solve the remaining issues, just like #Azure files sync, or #Nasuni global Filesystem or #Panzura..., but relying on the beauty and integrativeness of #box! #socialdrive

@bgewehr Got it. I think from a cloud tech point of view we want to solve both the collaboration and storage growth problems. But bandwidth sometimes lags and we don’t do well at the edges. Desktop sync conflicts unfortunately just result in multiple versions - tough problem I know.

@cbyeh Well, as civil engineers, we face three major problems: massive file collaboration in the teams of one branch, in between branches and with customers and partners. And on top of that, we see exponential storage demand. A desktop sync will not avoid file version conflicts, right?

@justbsavage just saw Lauren on @KTVU - keep up the good fight. Amazon isn’t the end-all-be-all. All the best to you guys.

Tonight I can't help but remember the Appalachian State thing. Tough night, #uvabasketball. It gets better over time. #GoBlue

Amazing concert tonight with @JohandeMeij and the @sfwindensemble; “Echoes of San Marco” was incredible.

My daughter has a friend named #Alexa. We have Echos on every floor. This is a major first world issue.

The Regimental Band plays the theme from Austin Powers during the changing of the guard. Who knew?

Happy 2018, from all of us at Yosemite Conservancy! #HappyNewYear (📷: Chris Yeh)

@Robsaysthings Rob - gotta have one of those. We should get one for @danieloleary also. :-)

@AceEdelman @BoxWorks Yes, this is our first @BoxHQ integration with #Hyundai cars. Cat folders for everyone!

Always interesting to study different consumer user interfaces. On my rental #hyundai - up/down buttons for "cat folder"...
