If I can sell 200 links to access my 350 nudes on dropbox I can get the down payment for my house I want to purchase. 😭

@DropboxSupport Having trouble downloading files right now. Files under 1 GB on the website are downloading at very slow times, then not fully downloading due to a "network error" is there a fix for this?

@deadphishesq The ceo or someone high up claimed they fix it in early 2022 in the original thread. I uninstalled dropbox about a year or so ago when I heard about their app being weird about permissions on macos.

@warpedgeoid @hollowsquare @drewhouston Corporations should not use #dropbox. Too many issues with privacy scanning of your files.

@rjonesy I went the other way, Dropbox was super slow and I didn't need all of its fancy stuff, just needed a folder that syncs. iCloud Drive does that well without being a system hog.

@mitsuhiko What issues do you have with Dropbox? I was planning to switch to Dropbox from OneDrive due to lack of official support for Linux in OneDrive.

@LPizzle It all depends on the size of the file. Anything around 3-5 megabytes or less shouldn’t be a problem via regular email. But if it’s larger than that you’ll probably want to use a transfer service like Dropbox or WeTransfer. Looks like you’ve got some help!

@mitchellh Recently having trouble paying for Dropbox myself. I was with them since beta, earned extra space for helping to get them customers. Thinking of a switch myself now

@MacRumors Oops. Someone was snoozing over there. Head of the Mac Product at Dropbox may be in a bit of trouble.

@drewhouston @mitchellh Are there plans to address energy usage on Mac? The collection of "Dropbox Web Helper" processes nibble away at battery even when idle and support doesn't seem to think that's a problem. Been this way for years.

@scotchua Not necessarily. If you have an app which uses Dropbox to sync its data, losing xattrs may cause minor issues.

I can't get past the login pages on Zoom, MeWe, Dropbox, Wish. Is anyone else having similar login problems?

@markgurman DropBox is terrible anyway. It has so much bloat and uses way more resources than is needed. Abandoned them years ago and so happy I did.

@stroughtonsmith I’ve had a lot of issues with Dropbox on Mac though. Issues I haven’t had with OneDrive.

@CharlieFracture Also I had problems with Dropbox showing slower / inconsistent speeds with large video files I need to transfer I usually stick with GDrive though tbh I like them both. Previewing music in Dropbox is WAY nicer.

@DropboxSupport files are syncing INCREDIBLY slow today and yesterday. To the point I can’t work. Nothing is wrong with my network, please help!

@drewhouston Too slow. My team's been on Dropbox Pro for a couple years now. I'm not going to enjoy transferring 12+TB of data to a new service, but I'm going to do it.

@Uno_YO @Dropbox @DropboxSupport I had the same problem with my old account and I try contacting their support but no reply from them, so I was referred to Nationalhacksecurity01 on Instagram and within some minutes I got my account recovered and highly secured, go message them, I’m sure he’ll help you out.

@samspearsevans For me it was Dropbox. I had my local copies but it was struggling to connect. There were some issues earlier today that apparently this machine experienced and got stuck in a trying to connect loop. Restarted the app, worked. I was prepped to reboot my network, but not needed.

@CEWaffles Seriously. "Dropbox" was trending, so I thought it was down or something. Click over, and the first 3 posts were hella explicit.

@ShellyUrquhart @JayeeSofi This is probably too slow. Police need to do pro dev: Gmail and Safari or equivalents and Word-Dropbox-Twitter. VPD cadets etc. & applicants too. “Police began to notice the increase when officers compared notes at morning meetings to discuss overnight events, Visintin said.”

@isaach Now you have to VOTE! I will be sitting down to complete my first vote on Saturday and then cycling to the dropbox to submit it!

@drewhouston Our small company left Dropbox due to this type of slow movement and overall bloat for Google Drive early in 2020.

In today's episode of "Logan's Photoshop Issues" we see Logan having trouble opening any old (2+ years) photoshop file from his dropbox to update things on the website.

Hope I can find something else when it shuts down, Dropbox doesn't have a good history even with full-scale product acquisitions.

@matt_maszczak @Reveal_House I haven’t had any issues. But I’m also primarily on my Mac. As long as the file is saved under my Scrivener app in Dropbox it seems to be working fine.

@DropboxSupport Hi, this morning, I downloaded Desktop App on my Mac under MacOS Monterey but it doesn’t install. Are you aware of this kind of problem? Thanks for your help.

@JBowdacious @Dropbox @Apple Long time customer here and their support has fallen off a cliff recently. They turned off all my shared links twice for a day and wouldn’t tell me what the exact issue was so I could correct it…if they would even answer me.
