Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TheLuigiTimes (commentary) The Luigi Times (@TheLuigiTimes) reported

    Karen stood to bring several evidentiary issues to the court’s attention that she wanted on the record. She noted that body-cam footage was uploaded to the media Dropbox on December 9th without the defense’s knowledge. She also referenced previous videos released to the public by DCPI, stating that there was no rationale provided for their release. She further raised concerns about two hours of footage that were released, which include Thompson receiving CPR and bystanders rendering aid. She pointed out that some of the posts and videos published by media outlets, specifically TMZ, have over 1 million views, which she argued is prejudicial.

    @OLDDAD2024 @CoryBMorgan @franauger81 I've posted in detail, actual documents, emails detailing the whys. I've given journalists huge files with Dropbox links. I don't even think they read it. The issues are technical, systemic. I could teach classes on this. But that doesn't drive views.

  • HeroGarden06 HeroGarden06 (@HeroGarden06) reported

    @AstroSeedP Sadly the internet archive seems to be down now. Would it be possible for the game art assets to be uploaded to dropbox instead?

  • danieldamineli Daniel Damineli (@danieldamineli) reported

    @DropboxSupport considers this a closed issue

  • alphonso4804804 bub (@alphonso4804804) reported

    I would never hire Rob Brennan in a million years. He is lazy and mean. I absolutely don't want to work with him. Him stealing from my dropbox doesn't make him my partner. I am not working with him or McGovern. She is a liar. A terrible person. A monster.

  • ej_badger Eric Johnson (@ej_badger) reported

    @DropboxSupport - is the website down? I haven't been able to login for the past hour

  • waynesutton Wayne Sutton (@waynesutton) reported

    Can someone vibecode a better @HelloSign or tell the @Dropbox team to migrate HelloSign to Convex. It's too slow, and the ui is outdated. Only if we knew some former Dropbox folks...

  • kkamilxx radja96 (@kkamilxx) reported

    got the login for my dropbox back sheesh

  • CrimsonJoseph Joseph Black (@CrimsonJoseph) reported

    @DropboxSupport I'll go ahead and check that! I also asked around in the neighbourhood and I seem to be the only one having this issue. I assume it will be resolved after a reset of my network. If the problem persists I will reach out :) Happy to learn I am the only one having this issue.

  • Maax5124 Michael Adams (@Maax5124) reported

    @umbrel I do believe I said that a month or so ago about how a late night get Dropbox projects should not be as such an exclusive list would be needed but unfortunately when it comes to taking money from one person and giving it to another they always have a problem even though it's nobody's money it belongs to the unspent transactional output

  • Dayrevolve Dayrevolve (@Dayrevolve) reported

    @krugermacro @SigeaOfficial will fix it, web3 dropbox, app coming in a few days on app stores

  • HerebyBlooms ♡Shin, Argenti's Only♡ (@HerebyBlooms) reported

    @drag0ngemz it's been behaving for now, it's not flashing so it's usable, just obnoxious green tint curse when i turn down the brightness, hopefully a repair shop can salvage it but i dumped all my art files into Dropbox in worst case scenario

  • perlundberg Per Lundberg 🇮🇱🇺🇦 (@perlundberg) reported

    @Jorgey_x @SheriefFYI Windows Explorer is unbelievably slow on Windows 10, when navigating with arrow keys up/down through a list of files (“details” view mode, no thumbnails, Dropbox active). It literally feels like you’re connected to a remote BBS over 9600 baud. 🙈🤔

  • B33ds89 Beeds89 Voice in the Wilderness (@B33ds89) reported

    @ghost_motley Check your Dropbox, or cloud backup. Worst case disconnect from networks shut down their services, and try again.

  • natasha_curtis Natasha (@natasha_curtis) reported

    @DropboxSupport is there an issue with Dropbox? Files put in shared folders are not being synced.

  • jxnlco jason liu (@jxnlco) reported

    Real talk from @joshclemm at @dropbox: Many “retrieval failures” turn out to be inventory problems, not model problems. Build your eval pipeline so you can actually tell the difference.

  • K_Ermite K.ermite 🇫🇷 (@K_Ermite) reported

    @Dropbox @DropboxSupport Problem solved ! Don't know why, but now the website work on all my device.

  • ArielRuthanne Ariel Ruthanne - Armed Author (@ArielRuthanne) reported

    @belet_seri I've opened Scrivener to find a whole chapter I wrote just blank in the past. It's why I went to the trouble of setting up dropbox sync for it.

  • robertskmiles Rob Miles (@robertskmiles) reported

    Dropbox randomly stopped showing an icon in my system tray. Still works but no way to interface with it. In the android app, "Sort By" functionality straight doesn't work at all, and nor does moving files, plus the interface is absurdly slow sometimes.

  • RydMike Mike Rydstrom (@RydMike) reported

    @ASalvadorini @ThomasBurkhartB @shiweidu Not sure what the issue is, works and does what it is supposed to do for me. On Windows it used to be a resource hog, maybe fixed now. On macOS it just works, at least consumer edition (corp not sure). Of course GDrive and Dropbox work fine too.

  • skillissuesf Marija Bozic (@skillissuesf) reported

    Drew Houston forgot his USB drive on a bus. That frustration became Dropbox. He started coding the prototype right there. On the bus. Boston to New York. No funding. No team. Just a problem that annoyed him enough to solve. He applied to Y Combinator with a demo video. Not a finished product. A video showing what it could be. Paul Graham accepted him. By 2011, Dropbox had 50 million users. Today it's worth over $8 billion. The lesson? Start before you're ready. Ship before it's perfect. Momentum compounds. Houston didn't wait for permission. He didn't wait for resources. He built on a bus because the problem wouldn't leave his head. SkillIssueSF was made for people who think like this. Link in bio.

  • TearyneG Tearyne, keeper of the decks (@TearyneG) reported

    Hey there @Dropbox ! I'm being told that my account is over its allotted space, but between my desktop app and the browser window, I can't find where the excess storage space is. Can someone help? This account was inherited from an old job - might be the issue?

  • m1dn1ghtclem Tristan (@m1dn1ghtclem) reported

    @SteveMoraco You host 300TB all in Dropbox? Sounds like a recipe for disaster if Dropbox ever goes down/out of business. No local backup?

  • IWantBasics David (@IWantBasics) reported

    I work with clients on design projects and the back-and-forth of collecting assets is painful. Endless emails asking for logos, brand guidelines, photos, copy... Curious how others handle this: Do you use a specific tool? Just email/Dropbox? Some kind of intake form? I've been building a simple tool to solve this for myself - one link where clients submit everything. Before I go further, wanted to see how others deal with this problem. #webdesign #agency #freelance

  • wendellborton2 Wendell Borton (@wendellborton2) reported

    @WindowsLatest Today I noticed that Dropbox was using ~400MB and 8 or 9 proceses. It should only monitor some directores and upload/download files to a server. Why that bloat? The installation is over 500 MB. Electron?

  • TamoraAlden Tamora (@TamoraAlden) reported

    Cleared cache + moved CapCut folders to “fix” space… lost EVERY drafts. Gone. Google Drive Desktop just completely screwed me. What’s the #1 alternative that won’t murder CapCut projects?? OneDrive? Dropbox? Anything??

  • CrimsonJoseph Joseph Black (@CrimsonJoseph) reported

    @DropboxSupport @Dropbox @DropboxSupport Ran it on Chrome, Firefox, Librefox (see screenshot), Opera, Opera GX. The error itself is mentioning the back-end, namely the SSL-certificate. Maybe you can still approach the site due to caching.

  • JosephJacks_ JJ (@JosephJacks_) reported

    In May of 2001, the most successful venture investment in history was made. Nothing comes close. ABSOLUTELY nothing …. How do I know this to be factual? The gross returns of Sequoia Capital’s twelfth fund (XII) were around $15 billion … across Unity, Airbnb and Dropbox. This is the highest performing fund in their 50 year history! Naspers bought out the seed investors of Tencent in May of 2001…. Buying almost 50% of Tencent for $30 million… !!!!!! … The truly impressive part, though, is that Naspers still holds 25% ownership of Tencent, and they held 100% of the position for the first 17 years, only modestly selling down until recent years …. In 2021 the stake generated > $250 billion in liquid returns at peak. The stake is now worth $170 billion. For example, in 2018, when that Tencent stake was worth way less than it is today, they created $10 billion in profit liquidity by selling only 2% of the stake. Absolutely stunning. Nothing comes close. That’s an IRR of close to 50% for more than two decades. I don’t think even Jim Simons’ Medallion funds did that.

    @valigo We didn't specifically hire ***** to add static type checking to Python. He initially worked on the Dropbox Datastores API. The inability to refactor large Python codebases did become a massive problem though, and we ended up rewriting Dropbox infra in Go and some in Rust.

    @DropboxSupport Can you DM me? I’m having problems trying to login.
