  • irshaadv Irshaad Vawda (@irshaadv) reported

    @DropboxSupport Hey there. I suspect an internet connection issue since Google Drive also can't connect. How do I test an internet connection issue? Windows 10 PC

  • HeroicFizzer 2021 Year of the Fizz🔞 (@HeroicFizzer) reported

    Shut down my computer before work, after having done at least 2-3k words of a commission. I turn it back on...and the whole ******* FILE is corrupted. THANKFULLY I have some other files on me because the doc didn't upload to Dropbox so I didn't lose all of it. BUT *******.

  • notwhitby whitbee (@notwhitby) reported

    @ms_pigtails get a home media server or a RAID setup going (or just pay dropbox) to get backups going, data failures suck

  • tiinysatan 🐰Tiny Satan🐰 (@tiinysatan) reported

    I finished a couple customs earlier but now when i go to upload them to dropbox it attempts to upload for a minute and then just closes out the app. Is anybody else having this problem?

  • JCMendoza_ Julio C. Mendoza (@JCMendoza_) reported

    Dropbox and kaspersky slow my already slow computer so much 😭

  • jeedawg garrett (@jeedawg) reported

    calibre exists but it TOTALLY SUCKS for anything other than managing an e-reader library, imo. and last time i checked it's 'server' functionality was literally just for downloading ebooks - nothing you can't do easier with like, dropbox lol

  • teigngardener Stephen (@teigngardener) reported

    I do like my paid @Dropbox but, my god, when you are uploading a batch of images it's slow.

  • charlief_music Charlie Fisher ✨ City Pop out NOW (@charlief_music) reported

    @HayleyjaneSimmo Honestly !!!!!! The day that the Dropbox folder with all the videos went down was the worst day of my life, can't even relive it anymore😭

  • sujayjaswa Sujay Jaswa (@sujayjaswa) reported

    @ikirigin @rsg I realized this at Dropbox. The Economist - as good a news source as there is - wrote an article on DBX with many impt errors. I was like "hmm, they have many tech reporters and 1 person in east Africa. Yet i read their Kenya reporting as if it's gospel"

  • JustinStormland Justin Pierrot, Stormland (@JustinStormland) reported

    @adamastralnoize How does that work with, say, dropbox folder links? Do you have issues with streaming those? Or is it all good?

  • HizeruK Hizeru (@HizeruK) reported

    @Kaschel @executivegoth Oh it was absolutely user error... minus how it changed this morning( one location it was saved its reappeared) but just my confidence in icloud, dropbox, or one drive protecting me , is shook by what i could mess up

  • geoffreytnguyen Geoffrey Nguyen 🌹 (@geoffreytnguyen) reported

    Bringing back the Dropbox employee incident that happened in the Mission. Ppl think that’s a one off but in general most non-tech tech transplants are like that. It’s why food quality went down and prices went up, to cater to them. Just make them artisanal casseroles.

  • jaymariedd JAY🤍 4$ onlyfans.com/jademaried (@jaymariedd) reported

    I hate being negative on the TL but doing my job makes me feel like I’m screaming into a void. Dropbox not uploading properly, onlyfans being down constantly, being harassed nonstop when I cam, paxum not giving me hundreds of dollars. And members wanting the world for free??

  • Prof_Krishanu Krishanu Karmakar (@Prof_Krishanu) reported

    @FirefoxSupport my dropbox account is not working properly on Firefox 84.0.2. I cannot log out of the account or delete any file. It is working fine in a different competing browser that starts with C.

  • InvestingMya Mya Parker the Teen Investor (@InvestingMya) reported

    I dont understand why Dropbox has been down because of the 11% cut of its global workforce. I think its a great thing as an investor. What did you expect? Efficiency is key. This is great but for those cut i do feel bad but business wise it shouldn't have affected the stock price

  • cravecreative Nicky P (@cravecreative) reported

    @3Sigma3 They took the original down. I've since uploaded another and posted the dropbox link.

  • PatrickBoehner Patrick Boehner (@PatrickBoehner) reported

    The @Dropbox on-boarding is such a nightmare. So many options that users don't understand while the program tries to ingest all your files in ways that's probably going to cause problems in the future. In my clients words "I use to be able to use this, now I hate it."

  • ludist tommy (@ludist) reported

    Is there a utility to merge and de-dupe Google Drive and Dropbox folders that have drifted? At one time I had GDrive and Dropbox updating a subset of the same folders, but that caused Big Trouble.

  • hipavel Pavel Chernyakov👨‍💻 (@hipavel) reported

    Ever since I switched to a Mac, file management has gone to hell. I literally have three places for files on my laptop: - Dropbox (long-haul files that I’ll need to reference down the road) - Desktop (mostly discardable files, needed in-the-moment) - Downloads (28GB 😐)

  • Deuszaum 🤖🤖👽👽⚡💥💯🍑☕ (@Deuszaum) reported

    Hello, @Dropbox and @DropboxSupport Why is the download and upload speed so slow using a paid account and 220 download and 110 upload speeds ???

  • shinobee_ TOEFL専門しけんや英語塾 (@shinobee_) reported

    @DropboxSupport I wanted to add a file but the dropdown menu wouldn’t open. But I did it fine with another PC. My PC was the problem. Thank you for your attention.

  • teslashark teslashark (@teslashark) reported

    @Riryudi ...I think the problem is in my ISP or VPN, if it still can’t work maybe I’ll Dropbox it and ask @EctoSage to upload it for me

  • KBULTRA0 wydna.kb (@KBULTRA0) reported

    Pixelfed can replace imgur. Nextcloud can replace Dropbox. searx can replace google search. You can install torrent clients. You can install Ghost to self-publish/blog. This is all free, and opensource, and its all totally controlled and owned by you on your own private server.

  • CryptoTieGuy Crypto Tie Guy 👔 (@CryptoTieGuy) reported

    @jdj795 @ericameltoe @Internxt wow... maybe the problem is not so much that you get his pictures, but if he gets your pictures. Really, it's a good thing I don't use Dropbox anymore!

  • thugsRbadMK Eddie Muddy (@thugsRbadMK) reported

    I tried to save this to my Dropbox account. An error occurred.... seriously!

  • RyderDesignS8 Ryder Design (@RyderDesignS8) reported

    Anyone else have problems when backing up TIF files to Dropbox? Sticking all the time. Grinding to a halt when backing up. It's driving me mental. Been at it since 11am yesterday – it's now 1.05am here! 😭 @Dropbox

  • teigngardener Stephen (@teigngardener) reported

    @PrieneV @Dropbox No, because they are image files and I want to look at them individually once they've been uploaded and deleted off my tablet. Is this a rookie error?

  • CastleRockBrit Castle Rock Brit (@CastleRockBrit) reported

    @twattybanjo @FoxxysTweets @ukopinions The buck stops with whoever decided not to back up on a separate server. I mean if i can store all my stuff on Amazon, Dropbox and MSN why ******** can't the United Kingdom Police Force?

  • SplatoonExposed Splatoon Animators EXPOSED! (@SplatoonExposed) reported

    DNA EXPOSED for having a Discord server (evidence included on dropbox)

  • anotherjesse Jesse Andrews (@anotherjesse) reported

    the dropbox folder has 3 parts: - the svelte webapp (300kb - automerge being the largest js lib) - generic golang desktop app (9MB @progrium tractor/manifold project) makes a webview+streaming keyvalue server - the data directories (automerge json blobs per device/user)
