Dropbox Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NeilPasricha Neil Pasricha (@NeilPasricha) reported

    @Dropbox Yeah, I noticed it's been suggested on there for years so I suspect that won't do anything. I've also emailed @drewhouston about the issue and never heard back. Feels like nobody cares.

  • Anim8der TimBorrelli TimBorrelli Night & Day It's TimBorrel (@Anim8der) reported

    currently unable to build for iOS in UE4 because rsync can't parse a "(" in the file path... thanks guys. (dropbox paths are terrible)

  • TPBookSeries Rusty Biesele (@TPBookSeries) reported

    It's been a long time since I have traced down what servers and protocols apps used and wow has the #internet changed. Amazon video: #Amazon #AWS. Dropbox: AWS Adobe tools: AWS. And instead of the fancy protocols they used to use, they all use an encrypted web connection.

  • EmmettDeVille Emrys DeVille (@EmmettDeVille) reported

    i'll post the linx to dropbox and google drive once they exist (uploading time on my end is ******* slow ugh)

  • iamspock1 iamspock (@iamspock1) reported

    @USAndMumbai why there is no option to expedite a dropbox (IW) appointment? Don't people eligible for dropbox have emergency? Yes, I have reached out to consulate support already, no luck. Please help resolve this issue 🙏

  • trc79 NortyKnitter (@trc79) reported

    @naogannet That I don't know, sorry. I do have a laptop, so I'll try there and then transfer via Dropbox. That will wait till morning though! Thank you for trying to help. I don't have any accessibility issues, but I'm not going to continue to use a platform who ignores those that do.

  • lebblionsoh Dr KOUMALO (@lebblionsoh) reported

    @Adrian48392053 @CoinomiWallet @Dropbox i have the same issue

  • Palingenae Olivia (@Palingenae) reported

    @Zaziss Yes it's worth it. But I gotta tell you that Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox is about the same problem

  • _Kiran_N_ Kiran Nagaraj (@_Kiran_N_) reported

    @kelseyhightower @martin_casado @sarahdingwang Missing two important value drivers: a. Infrastructure is an arms race. Hard to keep up in house. e.g., case of AWS making own electrical switchgear firmware related to 2017 outage. Dropbox can't do R&D on this. Cost avoidance value is huge.

  • janet_yen1 Janet Yen 🌟 (@janet_yen1) reported

    2/ Understand how big of a problem this is for them Example: "It was so amateur hour when I've been in the industry for 20 years. I cobbled together Dropbox, Zoom, email. I've looked at other platforms such as X, Y, Z." Is this level 1 pain or level 10 for them?

  • uisgebeatha AJ, friend of Blåhaj (@uisgebeatha) reported

    @DropboxSupport Hi, someone has used my email in error to share files with me. Is there an easy way to let them know?

  • texasjamesdean James Hendrickson (@texasjamesdean) reported

    @geerlingguy I used to happily pay them for 2tb of backup and now I have to carve the time out of my schedule to self host with nextcloud. Dropbox went from a great product to terrible.

  • SabiVM Sabina Vohra-Miller (@SabiVM) reported

    @doaas @Dropbox They recently got into trouble for not fully permanently deleting files, and since then they’ve taken it up a notch. :-(

  • mkhhhx Dainsleif simp | Mari 🐍 (@mkhhhx) reported

    dropbox is one of those things that are great in theory and absolutely terrible in execution

  • warraqeen Rob Jones (@warraqeen) reported

    @mcelhearn I like Scrivener on the iPad, but I worry about losing work. So I use the feature that lets me save to Dropbox. The problem is that a save takes 30-60 seconds, needs to be manually triggered and is modal, not in the background. Is there a better way? (Do I need to buy your book?)

  • BlindFunk Chris F (@BlindFunk) reported

    @sweetstephanie I just dropbox you Ozzy doing Staying Alive. Just in case you would get into too much trouble playing the original? LOL.

  • OpenCCE Craig Carter-Edwards (@OpenCCE) reported

    @SabiVM @Dropbox That's horrible!! I hope @Dropbox has the ability to fix this - your files are tied to helping thousands of people, they really don't want that on their hands.

  • theyashhgupta Yash Gupta (@theyashhgupta) reported

    @DropboxSupport my Dropbox account is disabled for no reason and now I am not able to access my files on desktop due to smart sync need the issue to be solved asap

  • SabiVM Sabina Vohra-Miller (@SabiVM) reported

    @nanakaren11 @Dropbox My laptop used to be regularly backed up, but I just switched laptops and my husband hadn’t set it up yet. I’ve never had this issue my entire life, so of course it had to happen exactly when I wasn’t protected.

  • JulieWinnMusic Julie Winn (@JulieWinnMusic) reported

    I set up birthday decorations. I recorded the song (wrestling with some equipment issues), edited the video, wrestled with Dropbox and We transfer and sent him a preview. He loved it. When it came time to pay, of course PayPal wouldn't work for him (continued)

  • MiddleSeaHist Robert John Clines (@MiddleSeaHist) reported

    @Faith_S_Harden Thanks! Yeah I use Dropbox, not Box. So that isn’t an issue.

  • lpha3ch0 Steve Campbell (@lpha3ch0) reported

    I managed to shrink my pentest appliance "dropbox" vm down from 20 GB to 4.1 GB. Much more reasonable to ask customers to download it now. I had already reduced du down to 9GB, but couldn't understand why it was still 20 when the ova was exported. Fixed!

  • vahedneisani1 vahedneisani (@vahedneisani1) reported

    @CoinomiWallet @CoinomiSupport @Dropbox hi I deposited some money in my wallet today that your company, but it has not yet reached your wallet. Is there a problem that I can not see my money?

  • Freyalyn Freyalyn 💙 (@Freyalyn) reported

    @JulieTheCranky @SmudgiesMom I've got everything out now - all the patterns I want to keep are on Dropbox, I spent ages last week screen-shotting my projects, so it's only a matter of time before I shut down. Such a terrible pity and such an enormous waste of all the resources, skill and time we gave.

  • CathBornbaum Catherine Bornbaum (@CathBornbaum) reported

    @SabiVM @Dropbox If that doesn’t work, try reaching out to Jonathan Seroussi (via linked in) with your ticket number and ask if he can help — he put the request in the right hands and got the problem solved. Good luck! I hope you get it all back ASAP!

  • PhilSchlesinger Philip Schlesinger (@PhilSchlesinger) reported

    @geerlingguy I haven’t had a problem with SmartSync. Extremely useful since I and my wife both keep a lot of stuff in Dropbox…and thus I no longer need to worry about running out of local disk space — nor do I need to dedicate time and mental-cycles to any sort of self-hosted solution

  • GothKittyLady GothKittyLady (@GothKittyLady) reported

    @DiedraDrake I keep my files in a local Dropbox folder, so they're stored both locally and in the cloud--that way I can open them from any machine I want, but if the 'Net goes down I don't lose anything and I can still work.

  • Defencebrief Nicholas Diable (@Defencebrief) reported

    @neil_neilzone @ITdisputes @Tresorit If Dropbox were based in London and received a High Ct order for all the data from server X, would what happened next be significantly different to what happened if the same order were made by a US Court re a server in the USA? It feels like these are good points but ...

  • CaryAndTheHits Carolyn Rahaman (@CaryAndTheHits) reported

    @WhizGidget No problem! I want it to work. I might have a solution for switching from internet archive to dropbox, but I'm still working on an alternative for feedburner. Hopefully this will get it to work for you in a couple hours.

  • SignFreeBox FreeBox (@SignFreeBox) reported

    Anyone has a server that allows you to download files other than Dropbox
