    @flopydiskmaster Dropbox 2FA, at the very least. Think a few others. No idea till I try to login yo the relevant services…

  • ViolentThese These Violent Delights OG #BlackLivesMatter (@ViolentThese) reported

    The basic concept is this: right now, you stream music from someone else's servers. Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, etc. They own the music, you borrow it. But what if your own cloud account was the server? Google Drive, Amazon, Dropbox, whatever you use. You own the music. Forever.

  • Telestream Telestream (@Telestream) reported

    @JulienTruffaut @kubukoz @alexelcu You shouldn't save from or try open a file in DropBox or any cloud syncing service (iCloud, Google Drive, etc.) as the syncing can create a problem. Alway Zip the file first before moving to DropBox and always remove the document from DrobBox before opening.

  • texastessa Ms. Tessa, MA (@texastessa) reported

    @snowcap_hijau @jamishelves That’s more or less what I did in the UK, except that we had a lot of plumbing issues so he was forced to show up frequently for awhile. Here landlords all have some sort of office. Usually they just have a dropbox, so you don’t have to actually talk to them.

  • ZenOfDesign Damion Schubert, Zen Designer (@ZenOfDesign) reported

    @DropboxSupport Simple, every new machine is a comedy of errors to get dropbox to sync my password blockchain first, so I can literally do and install everything else

  • neverfallapart Sandi (@neverfallapart) reported

    @DropboxSupport How come the app for Mac is so slow now? I have 26 photos to sync which usually would take a minute or two. But for the last 2 hours, nothing actually synced?

  • biscottidana biscottidana (@biscottidana) reported

    Anyone else having nothing but trouble with their Apple MacBooks? Been trying to update the operating system for weeks; not even chat support could help me. Now I can't print, nor use DropBox or Canva. Oy. And this is a 6-month old laptop. I am HATING @Apple right now.

  • eLearningHDSB Halton eLearning (@eLearningHDSB) reported

    Google has resolved the issue with uploads: students are now able to upload files directly from their Google Drive into Brightspace Assignment Dropbox with no error!

  • OGkevingill Kevin Gill (@OGkevingill) reported

    @DropboxSupport I will send you a DM, but this is a widely reported problem that thousands of people are having. It’s such a joke to pretend it’s this unheard of issue that requires screenshots to explain.

  • FreakyFwoof Andre Louis (@FreakyFwoof) reported

    @DropboxSupport Update: Restarting windows has fixed this system, so may have to restart the Mac, but even quitting Dropbox first did not fix the problem initially. Strange, but that leads me to believe the problem may reoccur at some point. Will keep you informed.

  • OGkevingill Kevin Gill (@OGkevingill) reported

    @DropboxSupport I appreciate it, but will appreciate it more when the issue is solved and your site updates this in the knowledge base as a ***current issue***. And provides actual Information about how to fix it rather than random people guessing how to fix it in the “knowledge” base.

  • ZenOfDesign Damion Schubert, Zen Designer (@ZenOfDesign) reported

    I see that @Dropbox has still not adequately solved the 'NO Install THIS FILE FIRST ON THIS NEW MACHINE FOR ***** SAKE' problem adequately.

  • Sherman_Walte user error (@Sherman_Walte) reported

    @jdub_re The bank I know allows dropbox and box. Never had an issue.

  • OGkevingill Kevin Gill (@OGkevingill) reported from San Francisco, California

    Hey @Dropbox as someone who pays a premium for your service, the whole “our app will no longer backup your iPhone photo’s because Apple updated their IOS” problem is unacceptable. Even more perplexing is your failure to acknowledge/ address it or come up with a fix.

  • 20DollaJulio $20 Dolla Julio (@20DollaJulio) reported

    Dropbox is down and I’m not liking this feeling at all.

  • isalondono Isabel Londono Polo, Ed.D (@isalondono) reported

    @DropboxSupport you can write to me in English, no problem.

  • SingingTigress Rose M (@SingingTigress) reported

    Dropbox folder rename fix: If Dropbox won't let you rename your Dropbox folder, sign out, delete '.dropbox' from your DB folder, rename the folder, and sign back in. This is a known issue when unlinking Dropbox for business, according to a response I received to a support ticket.

  • vivalastina gen.gossip girl (@vivalastina) reported

    @duongtype bro i'm down i need a design by end of the week so you just feel free to send me a lil dropbox link with mockups and we are GOOD TO GO.

  • TheWaseemMirza Waseem Mirza (@TheWaseemMirza) reported

    @DropboxSupport ticket 12409384 Not been able to login and the only response to my support ticket is that @Dropbox has sent my request to an "unmonitored" inbox. If this is the case, how can I login when all solutions on your website are exhausted? #lol #frustrating

  • Z1Z0R Zizor (@Z1Z0R) reported

    @ItsDrReal @ES_FTW Do NOT use LastPass, it is not safe. Use Keepass and make the database local, if needed you can use Syncthing (basicly Dropbox but it syncs between devices and not a cloud server) to get the database on your phone or tablet for example.

  • aravartanian Ara Vartanian (@aravartanian) reported

    @ebruenig This problem is solved by stuff like Dropbox, Backblaze, Google Drive...

  • jasonawilliams Jason A Williams (@jasonawilliams) reported

    @restlesspix I never have issues with Dropbox — are you using business version or free though? And if the client is using it have them do a file request and it gives you direct upload access that is much much faster.

  • younghuple otter (@younghuple) reported

    dropbox stop crashing challenge its 4am why are you making me crawl on my hands and knees across broken glass just to rename a ******* file... Have i asked for too much, God ?

  • felipepelaquim pelaquim parado em suez (@felipepelaquim) reported

    @Dropbox please fix your ‘browser uploader’. Always get stuck during some upload. It does not matter how big or small the file size is. It never uploads 100%. Ever.

  • wkjarosz Wojciech Jarosz (@wkjarosz) reported

    @gonzague Unfortunately no. Due to some stability issues with GDFS, I ended up switching most of my cloud storage to Dropbox, which doesn’t have this issue (though it has others).

  • natalierobinLD Natalie Robin (@natalierobinLD) reported

    hive mind: I am trying to figure out the best way to integrate @Dropbox and/or @googledrive into a @discord server - all advice would be helpful!

  • johnycash1312 Ernest Hemingway (@johnycash1312) reported

    @DropboxSupport I am trying to log into my account on a new laptop but when I enter my password and login I still need a six digit code to be sent to my email but it never comes to my email

  • bryanbae bbae! (@bryanbae) reported

    @slugspoon my go-to film developed was closed down near me (I hope it didn't close down...) but now I go to 35m Pro Photo Lab in Sherman Oaks. You get your films back on the same day! They dropbox your films by email

  • saphroxstudios Saphrox Studios (@saphroxstudios) reported

    @noteswriter Pro is continually crashing not only the NWP app but the back end of the IPad IOS when accessing/closing files stored on Dropbox. The crash stops all ability to navigate the directories within the Files App too. This is on multiple iPads. 100%updated. Fix?

  • strangehill cog strangehill (@strangehill) reported

    @DropboxSupport Finding out what version I’m on was less straightforward than I thought it would be but it’s v121.4.4267... that being said, I’ve had this issue for years, always blaming my usb cables but I’ve gone through enough of them to know better now. Reinstalling db?... uff. Hold my beer
