    @RenuBakshi @DrBonnieHenry NDP incompetent and evil. Should be teaching an information cycle in high school: Gmail-Google-Word-Dropbox-Twitter. Henry is terrible with Twitter. Trying to discourage people from sharing information stinks.

  • erasolaris Era ☯︎❀ (@erasolaris) reported

    @DropboxSupport so how do i get the actual app to open on my mac because using it in the menu bar is not working for me i strongly dislike it. i already changed settings to open app and it does NOT work

  • TyrelSouza Tyrel Souza (@TyrelSouza) reported

    @penxink no no, i get how to download it, but it still looks broken in dropbox, plz fix.

  • AngusMcNaughton Angus McNaughton (@AngusMcNaughton) reported

    Dropbox darn slow on the upload. S'pose it's faster with a subscription

  • dma315 David Ma (@dma315) reported

    @AshleyBrasier @jameskimEDU Y’all don’t think GDocs is PAINFULLY slow? Its like waiting for green bubble text messages. For collaborative, we’ve been using Dropbox Paper and have become a huge fan.

  • MsGreatbatch Heather Greatbatch (@MsGreatbatch) reported

    @KyrstieStubbs @mandyinwood1 Scroll down through the thread from the image tweet - there are some links to make a small donation and a Dropbox link at the bottom of the thread x

  • _bschmidtchen Bryce Schmidtchen (@_bschmidtchen) reported

    I wish I could trust Google Drive, iCloud, or Dropbox to robustly backup my files and not delete them or have synchronization errors, I've found myself going back to using my 2TB drive for the important things.

  • Variance3535 Variance35 (@Variance3535) reported

    @DropboxSupport I did everything you said. My problem persists and you are not helping. What else do I need to verify before I can log into my account?

  • TheXandan Alex Huard (She/Her) 🏳️‍⚧️ (@TheXandan) reported

    @TimKrief Never at the same time but yeah, 4 people sharing a dropbox account. Took a bit of coordinating and we only had to fix the entire project twice!

  • Variance3535 Variance35 (@Variance3535) reported

    @Dropbox The verification SMS you sent does not come to me. So I can't login to my account. You have never dealt with this problem.

  • maljx Mattias Ljungström (@maljx) reported

    Dropbox doesn't sync new files to my second computer sometimes. Happens once a week or so. Are there any good alternatives for DB? Anyone seen this same problem? (restarting db-client usually helps.)

  • Adosizmm A͢d͢e͢m͢ ͢Y͢e͢n͢i͢ ͢ (@Adosizmm) reported

    @PhantomDefi @Conflux_Network Cloud breaches are often seen in centralized applications like Dropbox, Google Drive, and even MEGA with users sharing virulent and malicious files for the virtual operating system. I wonder if PhantomDefi has the ability to detect these kinds of files and issue an alert?

  • UltraForm_JSON Jinga(Jing) (@UltraForm_JSON) reported

    @DropboxSupport The spotify app was apparently constantly updating a '.dat' file. I uninstalled Spotify and the problem seems solved now. Not sure if I reinstall spotify it will happen again.

  • matt_takes Matthew Takes (@matt_takes) reported

    @DropboxSupport you guys have not returned emails at all. I have no solution and no one to help me with my issue, which automated response told me to upgrade my account, so I did. I have no idea why I’m lying more and still not able to share anything with clients. Please. Help.

  • masuga Ryan Masuga (@masuga) reported

    Dropbox Paper is some hot garbage. If you ever accept a doc share, you cannot leave it unless the doc owner lets you go. And if the doc owner disappears, the doc lives forever (with your email exposed). I’m near ready to delete Dropbox/Paper over this. Fix it, @DropboxSupport.

  • Laurenc49106056 oldmanveryhappy (@Laurenc49106056) reported

    @jenny4fun Yes I have they're not bad. I did 5 altogether unfortunately they are too long for twitter. I have no way of cutting them down to 2 minutes 20. I'll figure out a way of getting them to you, maybe dropbox, I'll dm you when I work it out. Xx

  • ryanlangdraws RyanLangDraws (@ryanlangdraws) reported

    If you’re a backer having problems downloading the digital copy of the book, Dropbox stopped sharing the file because too much traffic. Check your emails for a new link. Sorry about that.

  • BamdanaLLC 💥BAM💥 (@BamdanaLLC) reported

    @gjonesbass How did recovery of files end up going after the computer crash? I know you had some luck with Dropbox files, i hope you were Able to track down a lot of it 😣

  • Richard36971987 Richard Nelson (@Richard36971987) reported

    @LisaWollerWhit @EmmaCapobianco @BirdQueens That's the problem - my Canon SX 730 shoots in "MP4" but twitter only accepts "mp4" (could be the other way around). Annoying as it's a very popular camera, you'd think Twitter would adjust. If you have Dropbox & e-mail, I could send some but would be unedited at this point.

  • sekaipro_chris Chris (Level: 51, Rank: Sekai Boss) (@sekaipro_chris) reported

    @DropboxSupport Uh wow, didn't expect a response from you guys but things unscrewed themselves somehow. Just the problem of moving around some rather large files. Though maybe making the syncing dialog a bit more detailed could help. Thanks anyway!

  • evertonoficiaal Everton Willian (@evertonoficiaal) reported

    @DropboxSupport I need to solve my problem and so far I haven't received any feedback from you

  • adultgarbage nature’s little miracle (@adultgarbage) reported

    today i explained dropbox to my 69 year old mother in law and now i need to lay down for 45 minutes

  • evertonoficiaal Everton Willian (@evertonoficiaal) reported

    @DropboxSupport how am i going to solve my problem??

  • mellissameisels Mellissa Meisels (@mellissameisels) reported

    Any other MacBook users have an issue where music stops playing through your AirPods (but still appear to be connected) when you're doing CPU-heavy tasks like adding huge datasets to Dropbox, etc?

  • DVDinSD David Hirning (@DVDinSD) reported

    So here’s the issue, do you know how frustrating it is when you pay for a service and can’t get anyone to help or answer questions to resolve an issue? #DropBox #drewhouston

  • fermello78 Fernando Mello (@fermello78) reported

    @DropboxSupport Can you work on a fix to my disabled account as well?

  • stevemarkperry Steve Perry (@stevemarkperry) reported

    @samselikoff Totally agreed. Dropbox is terrible for it, even squeezing in upgrade adverts. PITA and actually one of the reasons I’m ditching it.

  • vitacocoa sam “😁” cocoa (@vitacocoa) reported

    ok i just found out what system34 is and i did not delete it the problem was that my entire desktop’s default location was dropbox. which is still DUMB AS **** CUS WHAT

  • janerikasplund Jan-Erik Asplund (@janerikasplund) reported

    Airtable started out positioning itself as a consumer product ala @dropbox or @evernote. The expectation was that it would grow virally with consumers first—then go upmarket down the road. That didn't happen.

  • amanpreet_27 Amanpreet Singh (@amanpreet_27) reported

    @realarbabusmani Correct, Dropbox inspired a completely new industry. At the same time, we cannot back solving invisible problems thinking people will eventually find value in them. Start by tackling pain points and the go for glory. That's a calculated risk based on data & analysis.
