    Hey @DropboxSupport @Dropbox. My account and all its files were inadvertently delted this morning. This was an error with a colleague adding me to Teams and then taking me off. I submitted a ticket (#13340254), but you have NO phone support which seems crazy. Please contact me!

    @gimenete For projects, Dropbox Paper (or Google Docs) with conversations (that should ideally be resolved after applying the needed changes to the text. That allows good depth. For short discussions that are "disposable" or for quick decision making, Slack. GitHub issues for task tracking

    @DillonLFC7 @DropboxSupport Better start looking elsewhere, pal (or maybe a lawsuit). A number of us have the same issue, and @Dropbox simply doesn't care. They'll answer your first DM and then vanish.

    @bobbylox The official gitignore worked for me fine. The problem for me came from using sync services like dropbox. Those can get hung on the temp files and the only fix is to delete the library and manifest.json every so often.

    @DropboxSupport i used the account in february of this year, but i don’t use the email actively. i haven’t had any issues for the 8 years i’ve had the account and now it says there’s no account w my email

    @mjthinkscape @BadgerTech48 Thanks Myles 🙏. I don’t think shared drives will work. What I need is what OneDrive promises/doesn’t deliver. Files stored & sync’d to PCs as needed. The problem with file servers is latency, especially when you don’t have gigabit connectivity. I am very close to going dropbox

    @lennysan I’d question@some of your assumptions. Dropbox was started when there was no proper way to share your files with others except sketchy websites like Rapidshare. Spotify certainly had not much to do with the downfall of Napster or their legal issues. People got sick of collecting.

    Hi @DropboxSupport, I've trying to reach you guys from July 1st, abruptly on July 1st my account got logged of and now I can't login. It says 'Account is disabled'. Please help ASAP, my files stuck. @Dropbox

    Hey friends, quick question! I’m syncing my Dropbox to my new computer...I can’t do ANYTHING WiFi related because of this. Spotify, chrome, etc do not work at all while the sync is happening. Never had this issue with prior computers...what’s causing this?

    @PixelCanuck I'd compare it to Twitter and Fleets - trying to compete by copying competitor's offerings and failing miserably. And Twitter gave up on Fleets instead of trying to force them down everyone's throats, which is what Dropbox does.

    @raulpacheco I was going to transfer everything from Dropbox to Google Drive desktop and cancel my Dropbox subscription, but an error message told me you can't do this. So I can only access things I have saved directly to Drive. Apart from that major problem, it works fine!

    @CryptoTalkzInfo @Ethernity_cloud Cloud breaches are often seen in centralized applications like Dropbox, Google Drive, and even MEGA with users sharing virulent and malicious files for the virtual operating system. I wonder if Ethernity has the ability to detect these kinds of files and issue an alert?

    Spent most of the afternoon fixing some type of problem that caused my computer to crash when attaching files to an email, only to remember I use Dropbox and could just share the files with a link instead 😭

    Tbh since everything is on Dropbox (or was saved to my local), I really didn't lose all that much. I just have to go through the trouble of redownloading my DB files back onto my PC. The biggest things lost were honestly my WoW and steam games.

    @Mikey56321907 @jeremynewberger Having ONE dropbox for 5 million people in Harris County, TX. is a little suspicious, but not if you buy into the BIG LIE. Cutting down election sites in mostly Dem areas seems like a good idea to you. Not suspicious at all... Don't cry if someday you are restricted.

    do you know the interface for @dropbox truly sucks ***? I can't exit the program to stop downloading without having to ******* reboot my god damn computer. you idiots need to fix this ****. your service sucks covid ***** and a bag of ebola *****.

    Problem with a Mac computer. The desktop folder has been mistakenly linked with @dropbox. Just in case, I did a cp of ~/Dropbox/Desktop in ~/Desktop2. Then, I unlinked the Desktop folder in the Dropbox app. Both folders disappeared! Any way to get it back @DropboxSupport ?

    @aionealone Save the original tiktok video to your pc (tiktok > save to phone> share to file sharing website like dropbox > download to pc) you’ll be able to start, stop, record and edit together clips. Then when I upload it I usually go find the original audio and turn the volume down. :)

    @Stephie2010 You deleted your 1password or Dropbox backup? I was going to use a secret key for my Apple ID recently, but I had to type it in to do so and despite writing it down on my PC before typing it in on my phone, Apple said it was incorrect.
