    @Asmaana Actually i was trying to read an article today, and I couldn’t open it ... i used safari and then shared the article in my dropbox so I could read. I thought my internet is not working but apparently it’s not 😐.

    @Kerberosmansour @openraven Agree but potentially privacy issues I guess ....... Ironically companies like DropBox use that data to sell to CIO’s ie “we already know XXX number of your users use our service from personal accounts so you should buy a a enterprise account”

    @LeeChetwynd2 That would be interesting. Thanks. Dom took some clips and loaded them onto Dropbox, then just sent me the login details.😃👍🏼

    Ashley Bischoff (@FriendlyAshley) reported from Dallas, Texas

    @RachelFudge @MelEdits I do the same. I have a local full-drive backup with SuperDuper, a local backup with Time Machine, Dropbox backups for my docs, and then Backblaze. Backups that aren’t at your house (like Backblaze) are handy to have just in case—chance forbid—your house burns down. #ACESchat

    @zimmergren @c_f_johnson Sync issues remain painful indeed, especially on slower connections etc. I ditched Dropbox entirely though...

    @Rubberbandits @Rubberbandits - had the same issue lads. 2TBs of me talking shite. I got @Dropbox business and smart sync’d it. Not plugging Dropbox or anything. Just saying... now it’s their problem 😂 Loving your work Blindboy.

    @PixScienceCo Hp Pavillion. Had it since July. I-7 processor, a terabyte hard drive, 16G memory. I love it accept that it’s slow to boot up. Just a lot of software that loads at startup virus checking, Dropbox, email, internet connections, adobe and office subscriptions, etc.

    dropbox: *admin login* me: oh *immediately gives up* dropbox: *spontaneous box* you can download this without administrator privileges me: *proposes marriage to dropbox*

    Eric "that tea guy" Scott (@LeafyEricScott) reported from Somerville, Massachusetts

    @Edwards_evoeco @lifedispersing @NatalieZoeKerr Yeah, Dropbox really hates R Projects. That's part of what got me to learn GitHub. Although, It's a rabbithole maybe not worth going down depending on your goals.

  • tamara_thorpe
    Tamara Thorpe (@tamara_thorpe) reported from Dublin City, Leinster

    @DropboxSupport I was recieving a permission error; I followed the repair instructions on your website and it didn't work. Ive just re installed Dropbox and it won't open at all and no message. Please help!

  • TYPOGRAPH1C
    LG TYPO (@TYPOGRAPH1C) reported from The Colony, Texas

    @AriaZManzoori @DrbluejayTV All of my issues are 100% from Google Drive & Dropbox not working with ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN INTERNAL DRIVE for file sync... which is annoying as frick. Aside from that, zero struggles out of Apple.

  • marxistpig
    frank james lampard zealot (@marxistpig) reported from Macon, Georgia

    can’t even login by typing dropbox dot com anymore

  • kpgalligan
    Kevin Galligan 🎸🐶🎸 (@kpgalligan) reported from San Francisco, California

    Watching the talk about why Dropbox dropped c++. Still think it's a great chat about why c++ is a bad choice, but trying to extrapolate to everything else is a stretch. KMP is designed to avoid the costly problems presented. All tech isn't the same.

  • IvanBrandon
    Iván Brandon (@IvanBrandon) reported from Brooklyn, New York

    @DropboxSupport The problem is I don’t want to lose the ability to sync the macbook itself

  • c_f_johnson
    Chris Johnson (@c_f_johnson) reported from Maltby, Washington

    @MMThornberg @zimmergren It’s a lot better then it was. But then again, I never have an issue with dropbox ever. So if I need it to work I use that instead.

  • scrafford
    burlap aficionado (@scrafford) reported from City of Langley, Washington

    @DropboxSupport @kevinpurcell All is well now. I'll attribute the problem to User Error. But it also helped me to document the configurations of my various machines. BTW, merging of 1Password databases seems more intuitive on iOS, but that's probably just me.

  • MickDude
    MickDude (@MickDude) reported from Redcar, England

    @DropboxSupport Hi. No. I get an error saying the request could not be completed. Same when creating a share link in any folder.

    Andrew (@andrewk04) reported from Seattle, Washington

    @DropboxSupport Unfortunately scrolling and tab did not work. I was able to login and deactivate via web browser and restart the installation. Not a user friendly experience but got it working.

    @massihmoayedi @Apple @onedrive @Dropbox I went through this a year or so ago! Onedrive for Mac would be unusable slow to sync sometimes. Ended up switching to Dropbox, no regrets!

    @campbelldavid64 @kitty10046 No problem, Dropbox seems to work well for some and not others.

    @DropboxSupport help! Paper Dropbox not working in Chrome. Tried all tips online - clearing cache, etc. I’m at work, can’t switch computers, paper isn’t supported in internet explorer and I can’t download other browsers. This is seriously impacting my work.

    @snowdenbecker All through my thesis writing I saved a dated copy of my thesis at the end of every day of writing, had a backblaze account to do hourly cloud backups, had my data on the uni server and my thesis also on Dropbox. And never lost any writing except when word crashed once
