Dropbox Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • gobraves87 ... (@gobraves87) reported

    @actbrilliant @Dropbox @DigitizingPolar The c-suite turnover has been so egregious that it’s hard to imagine a talented exec would take a job there. Between that and the sales & marketing issue you highlighted, wouldn’t the most logical solution be to sell the company?

  • Ellie_Sparks_ Ellie Sparks (@Ellie_Sparks_) reported

    @holly_bourneYA I used to use Google Docs and the same thing happened to me so I now use Dropbox and have had no problems with it so far ✨

  • bshensky Brian C. Shensky (@bshensky) reported

    @DropboxSupport Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS x64. I've uninstalled & reinstalled at least 6 times. I've processed the ***** URL on both Chromium and Firefox, both either on a third party workstation on same LAN as well as via a virtual desktop session inside VNC server running on said 20.04...

  • BethFrank BethKinzieFrank (@BethFrank) reported

    @DropboxSupport our company has an enterprise account. Company credit card was charged? I need to talk to a live person about this. Your look up a Dropbox charge on credit card page is not working.

  • MrRamsbottom Neil R (@MrRamsbottom) reported

    @studiodbd I/we use Dropbox sync as a work server and it’s just like working local – are you using the web app?

  • angryzenmaster Jamie Noguchi, He/Him, #BlackLivesMatter ✊ (@angryzenmaster) reported

    hmmmm after kicking Adobe XD around for a bit, I think it might not be the solution I'm looking for for page previews. Might go with one of those photog sites like pic-time or pixieset. Which seems kinda overkill, but Dropbox Showcase is shutting down later this month. gaaaah

  • Ahlpa_twt 𝒜𝒽𝓁𝓅𝒶 ⟭⟬ (@Ahlpa_twt) reported

    @villainooc Had the same problem, Dropbox wouldn’t help either. Maybe try out Google Photos (App)? It helped me a lot

  • rsterbal Robert Sterbal (@rsterbal) reported

    @sql_r @way0utwest I’m running on the site right now 120 MB, 3500 files written so far. 10 errors logged. Should I zip it up and share the Dropbox link with you?

  • WittyLawProf Ken Hurwitz (@WittyLawProf) reported

    This seems rather petty in light of the broader picture in the world at large, but is anyone else having trouble canceling dropbox? I find them a deeply fraudulent company.

  • adelinawrites Adelinawrites (@adelinawrites) reported

    @Procreate exporting .psd to @Dropbox (via Save to Dropbox) doesn't work anymore on version 5.1.5. It cites Unknown error, then tells me the export was successful (clearly not). Same action works if I export it as .png for example. What's up with this?

  • JahCess jaH C. 💭 (@JahCess) reported

    So @ScotiabankJM say they are a single institution, however each of their over 30 branches 'technically' operate independently. Branches can decide their own policies. Eg. Discontinuing the dropbox service because the machine is broken, instead of fixing the bloody machine! 🙄

  • djseanmathews Sean Mathews Official (@djseanmathews) reported

    @andydaniell Dare I say it should be fine. I’ve not had any problems myself, I was going to suggest Dropbox back up but at least you’ve got it on the HD. Good luck 🙏🏼🤞🏼

  • angryzenmaster Jamie Noguchi, He/Him, #BlackLivesMatter ✊ (@angryzenmaster) reported

    Am I learning how to prototype in Adobe XD simply to send my editor progress on my pages because dropbox showcase is shutting down later this month? . . . . . . . Yes. Yes I am.

  • MrFunkSandwich Wil T. (@MrFunkSandwich) reported

    Don't just depend on Dropbox Rewind. It's not working for me right now, I've lost a few days progress but I could have lost a LOT more if I hadn't made an actual backup. Back up your files. Do it now if you're so inclined.

  • FYH116 Fatemah (@FYH116) reported

    @F6oumii5x Ohhh that sucks sorry this happened :( what I do to avoid this problem is auto-upload my files to oneDrive. Apple cloud is an option too if you’re an apple user. Dropbox, Anthos etc.. في وايد 🤍🤍

  • DeepNightDet Deep Night Detective PRE-ALPHA ON ITCH! (@DeepNightDet) reported

    Don't just depend on Dropbox Rewind. It's not working for me right now, I've lost a few days progress but I could have lost a LOT more if I hadn't made an actual backup. Do it now. What the hell could you possibly lose backing up your files RIGHT NOW? #indiedev #gamedev

  • WittyLawProf Ken Hurwitz (@WittyLawProf) reported

    @DropboxSupport Dear dropbox idiots – The link you sent me to produces an error message. Stop wasting my time. As I said before I find Dropbox to be deeply fraudulent.

  • jp26jp John R Perry (@jp26jp) reported

    @MetaCtrl I'm getting a 504 error when I try to sync any folder. I uninstalled Dropbox and dropsync and retried but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

  • buzz_be_gone66 BuzzBeGone (@buzz_be_gone66) reported

    So #dropbox it's fixed now relax! I have to say though not particularly amused that the owner of a folder leaves folder, leaves broken files in their. Can't delete them because your to busy worrying about administrator rites. Probably not using dropbox down the road. That's why.

  • Tri_Becca90 Rebecca Rivers (@Tri_Becca90) reported

    Good news: I finally have a non-broken desk chair. Bad news: My knees really really hurt from having to carry it from the dropbox

  • RobertCraig3 Robert Craig (@RobertCraig3) reported

    @SeethingMead @AileenMcHarg Im so paranoid i save a fresh version at least once a day (1.5, 1.6. 1.7) and everything is saved in Dropbox so i can go back and retrieve a version from a few hours ago if i overwrite anything in error - Dropbox has saved me from anguish so many times

  • hrushb Hrush Bhatt (@hrushb) reported

    I had absolutely no idea how terrible Google Drive is compared to Dropbox.

  • cssjake CssJake (@cssjake) reported

    @DropboxSupport All your other plans are more expensive, I would like to pay less given the user experience issues I'm having, not more.

  • bshensky Brian C. Shensky (@bshensky) reported

    @DropboxSupport My Spideysense thinks the problem involves SSO, since a Show HTML source of the Link Code presentment page includes a ton of JavaScript code that makes copious references to the umich SSO URLs. Also, behavior (A) above is a bona fide dbx server error w "saml_login" in URL string

  • akmedia Alan Klein (@akmedia) reported

    @DropboxSupport I made the mistake of trying Dropbox backup of external drives, and I’ve run into some issues. Would love some help

  • inkxel David Tucker (·_·) (@inkxel) reported

    @ArneKuilman @thekenyeung One of the biggest reasons I personally use them over anything like Google Drive is because of the way they sync. If I edit a 2GB file Dropbox syncs the change, Google Drive re-syncs the whole file and bogs down my computer and the network.

  • understandblue understandblue (@understandblue) reported

    @DropboxSupport Okay - pretty sure this is not a coincidence. Exact same issue today, and lo and behold, the @discord web platform is down again for the exact same period.

  • hncynic hncynic bot (@hncynic) reported

    Title: Dropbox now requires access to contacts for Google login 💬: Dropbox is a joke.

  • sophiasgaler Sophia Smith Galer (@sophiasgaler) reported

    every time I try and download a file from Dropbox, it loads all of the way and then right when it's supposed to finish it says 'failed - network error' - is this just the fault of my home internet?
