    (i have a 70TB dropbox across a team of half a dozen video editors and as loony as it sounds this is a real problem we share)

    What's up with @Dropbox and #MacBookPro Finder? I used to have dropbox on my MacBook finder, and now I don't find it anymore from this morning. Anybody else having this issue? Do you know how to solve it? Thanks in advance.

    @lapcatsoftware 1Password is terrible in several ways, but still need it. They silently dropped Dropbox support, still old users still rely on it & support pretend not to know of the functionality.

    @DropboxSupport Still no reply or proper explanation of the issues I am having with my Dropbox account. You are quick to take my money but very slow with support. You cut me off a month after renewal for a whole year. You are the worst!!!

    @OSmicard @abeillian @Peter_Nimitz I’m not sure- I don’t remember why it got shut down for certain but you know. Copyright laws etc. Wish it would come back, I hate having to pull stuff out of that Reddit Dropbox.

    Michael E. Tenner (@MichaelETenner) reported

    @NamelessTrilogy Scrivener is great but the development is awful. It's slow, unreliable, they had pretty much abandoned Scapple, Windows version of Scriv 3 took years longer than promises. I'm with Ulysses for the foreseeable future. + Scriv requires Dropbox for cloud sharing

    Pedro P. Palazzo (@p3palazzo) reported

    @SusanKlaiber @sbenkorsh You can also use the ZotFile plugin to sync PDFs you store anywhere, including on a Google Drive/Dropbox, or if your PDF collection is really huge you can spin a WebDav server such as OwnCloud or Nextcloud on the cheap.

    @tobinjstone @mattyglesias Vimeo, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Dropbox, TikTok, Twitter, a personal server, I'm sure there are others

    @DropboxSupport Hi There, I did as suggested: rebooted, same issue. Deleted and reinstalled. Same issue. Now for some reason even deleting and adding the widget will not show the change in starred files. Happy to DM a video of helpful. iOS 14.7.1, App v244.6

    @Dropbox I tried to upgrade my account to plus. I received an error message, but on checking my bank account I have been charged for the upgrade. I have tried chatbot and community forums. Can you please tell me how to talk to a customer service representative?

  • saitoprod
    Pedro H Saito (@saitoprod) reported from São Paulo, São Paulo

    @DropboxSupport We all try that already with no success. Our work flow relies entirely on Dropbox. For uploads we didn't have problems.

    @run4gear Can't sync to Strava. Always getting error that states "check your watch is connected to the internet" (it is). Tried uninstall/reinstall, but no luck. Also can't connect to dropbox after reinstall.

    Excited to try out new devices which I need to remember log-ins from a decade ago to make use of. Write down your dropbox password somewhere.

    @steveklabnik it's in my "dropbox" category in that I have a bunch of gripes with it but would have trouble recommending anything else to most users

    @DurhamsNatSauce Broken Spoke Farm (soft serve on weekends, pints in the freezer all the time)! Cash Dropbox/venmo. Also, Rockwood Dairy Bar is quite good!

    @DropboxSupport Having issues signing in on the website. It appears as though I successfully authenticate, but then proceeds to dump me back to a non-logged in landing page

  • cpu_fox
    Polly Fox (@cpu_fox) reported

    @CarlosS1kRR @YourMum48711121 @LozzaFox You do have to take them to a dropbox but I had one very close so it wasn’t an issue

  • MarianneLevy
    Marianne Levy (@MarianneLevy) reported

    @mattgreencomedy Well it’s not my main computer any more and all docs are on Dropbox so it isn’t too terrible in that sense… but I will look at the deals!

  • roustem
    Roustem Karimov (@roustem) reported

    @raulirikama @tapbot_paul There is no way we could things like Vault Sharing or Account Recovery with iCloud or Dropbox. Also, a bunch of other features currently in development that need a real server doing the work.

  • mldelvecchio
    Delric: Stealer of Goals (@mldelvecchio) reported

    @colinfoster @alexstamos I just haven’t seen any of those issues raised for Dropbox, Microsoft, Google, and Twitter, who already scan for the CSAM. No one has explained to me yet why it’s concerning now, but not for those companies and services.

  • hokgardner
    H O'Keeffe (@hokgardner) reported

    @DropboxSupport - your customer service bot has been useless. Can I get help from a real person who will pay attention to my issue rather than give me the same useless advice repeatedly despite my telling it that the advice isn't working? Right now your product is useless to me.

  • victormihaiu
    Victor Mihaiu (@victormihaiu) reported

    Also @googledrive error when you are zipping a folder BECAUSE you don't have third party cookies enabled, is really really disturbing. Again, making me think why did I not choose dropbox...

  • hncynic
    hncynic bot (@hncynic) reported

    Title: Open-source Dropbox client, with multi-account, no-device-limit and M1 support 💬: Why can't this also work offline? Seems like it doesn't have a central server, and the same encrypted volume that Dropbox used to be used for (I think).

  • frankreiff
    Frank Reiff (@frankreiff) reported

    I have installed Dropbox Passwords, largely because I'm already hopelessly invested in their basic product; even though I'm no fan of the company. It's clunky, but together with Dropbox Vaults, it might just solve my actual 5% problem.

    In SaaS, Vendors manage all potential technical issues, such as data, middleware, servers, and storage, resulting in streamlined maintenance and support for the business. Users only use the application via internet. E.g Microsoft Offices 365, Google Apps, Dropbox, Cisco Webex.

  • basicjoomla
    Tim Davis (@basicjoomla) reported

    @akeebabackup @chetanmadaan 1/2 I don't run a local server, so being able to decompress to my desktop really helped me. The one file I needed was in a 1.2gb backup long forgotten ( thankfully) on Dropbox online. I could have downloaded it and uploaded it to my server, but this was so much easier.

    Good morning @DropboxSupport - Any chance someone can help us out w Ticket #13652254 - it's gone unanswered for 9 days now. Cannot login to my deactivated account

    @flargh It's baffling to me that the theoreticals put forth by folks aren't any different than they are for Google Photos, OneDrive, Dropbox, and et cetera. Somehow, though, it's only an issue in their minds with the iPhone.

    Dropbox Support (@DropboxSupport) reported

    @mattchoules Hi Matt, thanks for reaching out! Does the issue persist if you reboot your mobile device? If so, please uninstall and reinstall the Dropbox mobile application. Let us know if that helps. Thanks!

    @caarlos0 @_mfridman i’m more curious about how i’m supposed to sync 3 vaults against 4 devices without using their own cloud as dropbox and icloud are not available anymore. it MUST have a LAN sync (my home server in a raspberry pi) or i’m out.
