  • DerekBarrera_AI Derek Barrera AI (@DerekBarrera_AI) reported

    last night i had to modify the info.plist in the dropbox package to have it run under lion without an error

  • mrosenberg789 Mark Rosenberg (@mrosenberg789) reported

    @Dropbox Keeps on disconnecting on a Mac so I have to "login" again. A bit annoying.

  • GabrieleDrag8 Gabriele Dragotto (@GabrieleDrag8) reported

    @Khalid_Montreal Right now, I replicate AES-256 encrypted files on iCloud, Dropbox, and a remote server with no “™” permissions 🥸

  • RubenAaronGray1 The Dark Estrogen of Beautiful Abandon (@RubenAaronGray1) reported

    all you need to do to blow the whistle is go to DropBox and write something for the people that use that service you might never be contacted but if you are, understand you are doing what I can't do and doing the world a favor it could bring things down and we need that...

  • ShriramKMurthi ShriramKrishnamurthi (@ShriramKMurthi) reported

    @georgemporter @dave_andersen There were multiple months when I couldn't run Dropbox because there was an error in their Python code, and it wouldn't go away with a reinstall because Windows state. So I'd just get some Python exception.

  • neilfws Neil Saunders (@neilfws) reported

    @DropboxSupport I appreciate the help, but I have already reset photo backup back to "new photos only". My problem is that it had set itself to "all my photos" without my intervention. (also there is no "camera uploads" under "account" - it is named "photo backup"). No need for further replies!

  • prof_djadams Dave Adams (@prof_djadams) reported

    @DuttonChemistry @PalliThordarson Formally we are not meant to use dropbox due to GDPR issues. Which I still do not understand if all we are hypothetically storing and sharing is data and paper drafts...

  • augustomercurio Augusto M. (de 🏡) (@augustomercurio) reported

    @DropboxSupport since i synced this whole folder and still doenst show in my files... i can access via web with no problem and even if i upload something via web, nothing triggers dropbox in my windows to start downloading the folder... 3/3

  • serdarozkanEN Serdar Ozkan (@serdarozkanEN) reported

    You don't need to run the algorithm on the same machine/server. You can use multiple machines as long as they are connected to internet and Dropbox. The code arranges communication between instances.

  • NumbatNinja Numbat Ninja (@NumbatNinja) reported

    @TylerGlaiel @Dropbox I have a similar problem with google drive.

  • GabrieleDrag8 Gabriele Dragotto (@GabrieleDrag8) reported from Montréal, Québec

    @Khalid_Montreal Right now, I replicate AES-256 encrypted files on iCloud, Dropbox, my Mac (with crontab-rsync), and a remote server with no “remove” permissions 🥸

  • augustomercurio Augusto M. (de 🏡) (@augustomercurio) reported

    @DropboxSupport windows has issues when paths are 260+ characters, in this case the path is 59 (and i already enabled NTFS for long paths). so fyi windows CAN sync folders with long paths, but every time you try to go to the folder or save something in the location, explorer will crash 1/3

  • uncertainsong Uncertain Song (@uncertainsong) reported

    Dropbox download file size limitations are such a pain. I gotta save all these large files for work one at a time, and it's one of the few sites that gives my download manager app errors.

  • RaraHope Rara Hope🌖 (@RaraHope) reported

    @Maria_Tureaud I just prefer Mac overall. I’ve had so many issues with windows. Everything syncs beautifully. I use Dropbox without issue and scrivener. Occasionally I’ll use MSword. I’ve had so many windows computers not be able to keep up and crash and MAC has never let me down!

  • bowerboy2000 Bower (@bowerboy2000) reported

    @DropboxSupport Please can I have some help accessing My account? I can’t login

  • augustomercurio Augusto M. (de 🏡) (@augustomercurio) reported

    @DropboxSupport or photoshop will crash because windows can't access the location... anyway this is not my problem. i can't change folder location because all my team have access with no issue, just me can't sync this ones. and yes nothing changes after restarting. it has been DAYS 2/3

  • RitaroTina Tina Ritaro (@RitaroTina) reported

    @NPowerOrg @SylvieV_CA @Dropbox I couldn't log in to write my test. I provided my user ID and password yet I couldn't log in. Please what could be the problem?

  • Pepperfire Tina Brooks, Âûtistic Witch, Richer than Trump (@Pepperfire) reported

    @DropboxSupport Yes, indeed. I have gone onto the browser in the hopes of eliminating them, but I can't seem to delete any of them. I delete one and it reappears in the PW list of the browser app, within seconds. I've been using the app for years. Never had an issue before.

  • mrosenberg789 Mark Rosenberg (@mrosenberg789) reported

    @DropboxSupport And Box never logs me out. It is only Dropbox that regularly logs me out and I need to login again and check the paths are correct an go through the usual annoying tick boxes. It is so annoying. I reported this two months ago but it was 10.14.6.

    @beatsbybooby My dude. Dropbox. If the house burns down or MFs rob you both them laptops is toast. Your plan is bad.

  • geckospots a. gecko, but shanties (@geckospots) reported

    @DropboxSupport I am trying to download a 680Mb .zip file. Each time it has failed with only a few Mb to go and the error msg ‘Network error’. Do you have any info on why this is happening? Nothing else on my network is affected.

  • mrosenberg789 Mark Rosenberg (@mrosenberg789) reported

    @DropboxSupport Yes it is. Well spotted. Is that the problem? It is impossible to store all my files on anything but though. Thanks.

  • augustomercurio Augusto M. (de 🏡) (@augustomercurio) reported

    @DropboxSupport and we all have the same app version installed. they can unsync and sync again the folder with no problem. it downloads all the content and sub folders...

  • cooch_potato flaming flower ✨ (@cooch_potato) reported

    why is it so ******* difficult to just send myself one (1) video from my laptop to my ipad?? dropbox is booty onedrive is booty everything is slow or wants you to pay them!

  • techchimpgmail techchimp (@techchimpgmail) reported

    To be clear, do something means actually correcting the problem. Maybe go through HR complaints and show that you are serious. I am personally aware of 7+ people who should not be at Dropbox based on your employee handbook and your recent public statements. Trust goes both ways.

  • smuphix Tibor Repta (@smuphix) reported

    @Dropbox after I get out of this ****** up situation I am in, thanks to you ... I will switch to a different app, and hopefully never EVER have to deal with your slow piece of **** app!!!

  • arrdem DIE REID MASCHINE (@arrdem) reported

    Oh christ the reason this rsync is so slow is it isn't actually copying bits from the local disk, it's forcing the remote dropbox vfs to materialize files which aren't locally present at all and then serve those bits

  • bzavr Bzavier (@bzavr) reported

    @acommonlawyer (and to be really perverse, I also sync down DropBox to the NAS Drive. Dunno if this is really needed ;-) )
