  • prodbynewmoney Newmoney (@prodbynewmoney) reported

    @baredex I saw a post identical to this the other week except it was about Google Drive, so idk what to think ngl. i know from experience that Dropbox is highkey terrible if ur using a phone and you don't have the app installed same time i've never had a single issue using google drive

  • madewithclive Clive Griffiths 🚢 (@madewithclive) reported

    @liana_majed Lost … but then you still wrote and shipped 👍 I use @iAWriter on a Mac and iPhone for writing. Syncs through iCloud or Dropbox. It has a focus mode which is useful. And to delete you have a ‘do you want to delete’ prompt. It’s not let me down.

  • cliffpat Cliff Patterson, Ph.D. (@cliffpat) reported from London, Ontario

    @Spatial_Punk And yet everyone uses Drive, Dropbox, Gmail, Outlook, etc. and their on prem "secure" server is in an unlocked, unventilated closet in the basement and it hasn't been upgraded since the days of Windows NT.

  • scolibody Jacob Wilkinson (He/Him/His) (@scolibody) reported

    ☑ SaaS - Software as a Service Examples: DocuSign, Twilio, Dropbox, HubSpot, etc. Cloud-based tools that solve everyday problems for both business AND consumers. Say your company wants to integrate a microservice that processes emails.

  • KulshanBham Randall Petty (@KulshanBham) reported

    @DropboxSupport Are upcoming desktop client releases announced here? We're having a problem where automatic update hangs and syncing to our dropbox fails. I'd like to download and manually install stable releases before the automatic process

  • damayayayaya みずの (@damayayayaya) reported

    @DropboxSupport It seems I can't restore it with Dropbox (because there was a problem in generating the file), so it's OK. Thanks for your reply!

  • FASSlVEMAGGOT AM (@FASSlVEMAGGOT) reported

    @DropboxSupport seriously forward that. Dropbox is way faster and reliable than OneDrive. hands. down. but I don't need 1TB a month. I just need at MOST 20GB for transferring school files between computers. come ONNNNNN

  • BadHousesOfBrit Simon Canning (@BadHousesOfBrit) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @Dropbox No, go work in a factory for minimum wage and no sunlight and other terrible working conditions

  • DMWills_ wills (@DMWills_) reported

    You host a press conference, its not streamed and you send the video file via DropBox? Why i have to sign in my credentials? No thanks. And yall gonna complain about no coverage. Smh.

  • Td2Yl なお (@Td2Yl) reported

    @DropboxSupport I am a paid member. However, there is a problem that the capacity is not added. I want you to do something right now. from Japan

  • TheBrianMcManus Brian McManus (@TheBrianMcManus) reported

    Google Drive is the backbone of our production process with our team spread over the US, Ireland, Belgium, New Zealand, and Taiwan. GD used to work perfectly for us, but in recent updates they have completely bricked it. Dropbox has gone down the same route.

  • adamjnafa A. Jordan Nafa (@adamjnafa) reported

    @taylor_wright @arthur_alb1 @stephenjwild Haven't tried it but the problems with renv stem from it storing packages in the project folder and certain packages or files within those packages having characters in their name dropbox doesn't like so unless it avoids that, it would have the same problems

  • BeansInYourBum Beans (@BeansInYourBum) reported

    @ripeacsky Well it's a parody game in a way but yeah.. Disney.. I'll just take it down if they send a cease and desist but then who knows what happens next. Someone who isn't me might upload it to Dropbox or something and that's completely out of my hands

  • brian_essig Brian Essig (@brian_essig) reported

    @Dropbox please fix offline files to not wait for queued files...I shouldn't have to wait for a 1gb file to download before my 25kb excel file opens.....

  • JhonnyOpino Jhonny Opino (@JhonnyOpino) reported

    @Texas_Advocate @DropboxSupport Were you able to recover your accounts? Same problem here.

  • aacorbat Agustin Corbat (@aacorbat) reported

    @MushtaqBilalPhD I moved to Zotero a couple months ago for this same reason. I also noticed that it has less bugs and problems. The only con is its limited online storage. Some people worked around it by sharing the zotero folder through dropbox/drive/onedrive. Do you have any other advice?

  • kool_turk Evren Alpay (@kool_turk) reported

    @MkFreak1992 a bit slow on the uptake, google's had that for some time. And I think Dropbox also has it, but I haven't used Dropbox on iOS ever since they did their stupid restricting to 3 devices.

  • ByonanebyeMD DathanMD (@ByonanebyeMD) reported

    @Kenyajudiciary You are committing the same illegality you based on to nullify the 2017 elections. Dropbox is a USA data cloud. You are keeping national assets in USA. Please get money and set up a server in Kenya

  • JhonnyOpino Jhonny Opino (@JhonnyOpino) reported

    @brentdanley @Dropbox @DropboxSupport Did you recover your account? Same problem here.

  • hangadave Dave Hughes (@hangadave) reported

    @henryfenbytaylo Issuing information via email only. If size is an issue using WeTransfer, Dropbox or SharePoint and switching between them indiscriminately.

  • BryanStarbuck Bryan Starbuck (@BryanStarbuck) reported

    @dropbox is holding my files hostage. I went over the limit for 3 hours before I fixed the problem. Now Dropbo is demanding I pay more and won't sync. I'm under the limit but they hold sync hostage until I pay. I'm leaving Dropbox

  • devhornsofgold Az/devil (they/it/soul) (@devhornsofgold) reported

    bro it took me like 4 hours to upload everything onto dropbox and then the factory reset STILL didnt fix the ghost touches ?!??? i drenched my ipad in soap to get rid of hrease too btw

  • LadyCatHT Catriona Stewart (@LadyCatHT) reported

    @Jolloy23 As with anything weddings, I am a terrible rule of thumb. I don't mind how images are shared but if it's an embed then it's good to mention that at the top of the email as if it's down the bottom I might not get that far. Have seen DropBox links shared under email signatures!

  • KaziiTheAvali KaziiTheAvali (@KaziiTheAvali) reported

    @kb_i_thinkk @discord @kiwiquestt not the biggest issue atm kb. if anything use dropbox as discord probally gives nitro users bigger file sizes cause they have to store the files on the server for a while and nitro users help pay for that room.

  • Td2Yl なお (@Td2Yl) reported

    @DropboxSupport I am a paid member. However, there is a problem that the capacity is not added. I want you to do something right now. The Japanese support is absent and it is hindering my work. Can you help me?

  • jbinia againstkimreynoldsandchuckgrassleyia (@jbinia) reported

    @spiritedstrider @DefeatGrassley @FrankenforIowa Dropbox link not working

  • eholtam Eric Holtam (@eholtam) reported

    @macjustice @tbridge777 I suppose I could be more diligent about putting _everything_ in a repo. Dropbox never had this issue though. It was nice to have synced changes without having to remember what repo needs updating or accessing new repos across machines. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • NkechiKwenu Nkechi.888 (@NkechiKwenu) reported

    1. Keep a backup of your private keys somewhere other than on your computer or phone. It's best if you write them down on paper, but you can also store them in a secure cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox if that works better for you.

  • rassvet_oekaki rassvet | らすべっと 🫠 (@rassvet_oekaki) reported

    @DropboxSupport Don’t worry we have no issue happened. We just discussing about use Dropbox to teamed creative work.

  • Td2Yl なお (@Td2Yl) reported

    @DropboxSupport I am a paid member. However, there is a problem that the capacity is not added. I want you to do something right now. Japan support is closed today. My work is getting in the way. Can you help me?
