    @LisaRickey That was what I thought at first, so I contacted Dropbox and they said the service doesn't compress images. The uploader tried email and had the same problem. The files are massive but the resolution low. It is wilddd

    @jessiechar This hit one of us yesterday and I think it's a Dropbox problem. If you right click and "Make available offline" first, does it make a difference?!

    @DropboxSupport Is Dropbox having problems? Have 2 small files stuck syncing, restarted, still stuck. All other apps working fine.

    @Dropbox you think its nothing? You think you can treat peoples data as if its irrelevant? Seriously, dont bring out updates that dont work. You deserve to close down - this is a trust issue. ******* dont trust you any more. Plenty more companies out there - you idiots.

    @_megrocks After the payment, Dropbox shows an error, I've >2Gb of space, what's the problem?

    @Dropbox your mac implementation is broken and all the users who relied on it are now totally shafted. You can add folders which are not synced. You can change files which are not synced. You ****** up big style. What a disaster.

    @locaseco Nice! I have it hosted on Vimeo but it’s still poor quality. Also had it from Dropbox. Slightly better but too slow. What would you recommend Luke 🤔

    Dropbox and kind of my day off cleaning or, I used to fix it, especially just downloading a big passion for the bathroom

    After I did so this morning, my files in Nova no longer automatically mark for publishing to server after I save changes. I can manually mark / publish, but that's not fun, obvs. I tested this on my other Mac, on which I hadn't yet upgraded Dropbox, and publishing behaves ok…

    Dropbox is down for us in Houston. We are unable to synch our files across computers.

    I canceled a dropbox subscription last year, but was just billed $127 to renew it. I submitted a help ticket, and they told me to login to the admin portal. I no longer have that option. The account has been downgraded. What now @DropboxSupport?

    Peer to peer network achitectures like Bit torrent also uses client server sockets but each endpoint serves as both. Client so some, server for some. Nearly every application you use today like - imgur - cloudinary - dropbox uses sockets at some level.

    @DropboxSupport @dfwguy00 It's also down for me in the Twin Cities. The app won't sync, and I can't access via the web.

    @modic123 Growth now down to 25% YOY (now trades like a Dropbox or a Box and not a Snowflake or Datadog on revenue multiple), breakeven barely, AWS forked Elasticsearch in 2021 which has been tough etc. It's really that valley of death where growth below 30% gets pummeled in public markets

    @geofftech I can do this with my Sony cameras - FTP to a server on my phone, sync app on the phone to transfer the files to Dropbox.

    @nicksummy Hi Nick, we’re sorry to hear you’re having the same issue. If you’re seeing an error message, when trying to access the Dropbox website, feel free to send us a screenshot, and we’ll have a look. Thanks!

    @TrueCrimeTroy @Dropbox @DropboxSupport Down for me on Mediacom in Iowa. Not sure about the app but the website is unreachable.

    By the time the replacement came in the mail, IT had figured out the issue – and it was completely avoidable. As it turned out, every time Bemiller accepted the pop-up, it gave Dropbox permission to back up everything on to the computer’s disk.

    Does anyone have issues opening old Keynote files? I'm trying to work with some old conference decks and they "can't be opened right now" because "keynote can't read the file"... they've just been sitting dormant in my Dropbox, seems insane that the app won't open them?

    @AlboGravity Different browser didn’t work unfortunately, I think I have found a work around otherwise I’ll try Dropbox. Two files 14 GB each. Had sent 5 videos to him before at the same size with no issues so unsure why this became one all of a sudden

    @siptherealist @DannyMinick @DailyLoud That's been an ongoing issue. However some websites monitor uploads like Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Dropbox etc then they scan for CSAM material and if it raises the red flag they send that **** right to the feds without hesitation. However the best way to get it off report it

    Having issues with Dropbox since yesterday, like syncing. Tried to uninstall and reinstall, but I can't even access the main Dropbox site to re-download the pc app :(

    @firstdogonmoon @PostingGeneral I'm a mac user and use onedrive for work; it works well on mac and I've never had issues. For personal things, I use dropbox - it doesn't do weird things to me and leaves me alone, but I've turned off notifications. I wanted to use icloud but they didn't accept annual payments.

    @DropboxSupport I need help with my Dropbox account my issue is that the email which I initially used to sign up many years ago has now been deactivated so is there a way for me to update my email thanks a-lot.

    @GregorMacdonald @DropboxSupport @Dropbox Just happy to help. It drove me nuts. As an aside - after trying Mega before figuring out the Dropbox fix, I came away really impressed. It’s worth a look.

    Dropbox for OS X is so broken.

    Hey @DropboxSupport - your app is THE WORST!!! i did a free trial and it will not allow me to cancel, it sends me round & round making it impossible! What kind of scam is this?? It makes me create a new password just to cancel then has me sing up again to sign in to cancel!!

    @historivist I have used that scanner, so I'm fairly sure it *can* achieve that. I wonder if the problem is in the delivery system? Maybe Dropbox is converting them somehow? Any other options you could try? Google Drive? Flash drive (mailed of course sigh). Ugh so frustrating! My condolences
