Dropbox Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • benedictevans Benedict Evans (@benedictevans) reported

    @sriramk That reminds me of the famous Hacker news post claiming dropbox was solving a problem that already been solved (‘just set up your own FTP server’). SSO is a UX problem and if the user has to jump through 15 technical hurdles, that’s not a solution

  • simonrraseley Simon R Raseley (@simonrraseley) reported

    @googlephotos Went to the forums and posted my problem. Not one answer. Maybe I've got so many photos & videos in my @googlephotos that I'm blocked from uploading more, even though I just bought 100 GBS - So I guess I'll just use @Dropbox instead!

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    it is very frustrating when my older brother emails me large files like BBC movie file of 9MB filling up my server for no reason instead of uploading it Google Drive or Dropbox and emailing a link or just emailing a link to BBC website or Youtube or Vimeo etc #files #large #email

  • vitobotta Vito Botta 🇮🇹🇫🇮🇬🇧 (@vitobotta) reported

    I gave up on #iCloudDrive. Too slow and unreliable, it gets stuck too often and you need to restart the “bird” process every time to help it. @Dropbox is just in another league. The difference with the competitors is embarrassing IMO. Nobody else seems to get syncing right.

    @anxietyaloner Hey! Do you have a Google Drive/Dropbox Link or something so I can send you those HelloFresh recipes? My scanners not working but I can send photos!

  • HiArt99 Arthur Ockwell (@HiArt99) reported

    @FTSIncome Sorry, there was a dropbox issue which delayed getting the RTS file for TheBetEngine out, available now, but you might need to give TBE a nudge.

  • womanlover50 Womanlover50 (@womanlover50) reported

    @JenaGriswold @Sen_JoeManchin Hey voter ID and secure elections are not voter suppression. Stop the Dropbox is not at polling sites or not at a government building. Where they can be watched and verified You're just feeding the problem

  • matarua ϺΔTΔRUΔ (@matarua) reported

    @DropboxSupport It's broken again - been a true nightmare since it got updated. Not worked correctly at all - after working great for years, it's garbage now.

  • alainparadis Alain Paradis, 🚴🏻‍♂️ (@alainparadis) reported

    @Vonster @Dropbox I know it doesn’t solve the primary issue, but you could kill the process in the Activity Monitor app instead of restarting. It’s in your Mac’s Utilities folder.

  • groovybrewster JNB (@groovybrewster) reported from Liverpool, England

    @joon_of @__codexterous @SPryke2 Hmm I click on the link, then click on open in website then Save to my Dropbox. Sometimes have problems with it though

  • Azuremarie Azuremarie (@Azuremarie) reported

    @UseLastTime @Patuflinx I still use last time on my old phone but REALLY want to use it on my new phone. I have no problem with buying the app again, but how can I migrate all my data from the old app to the new? I have Dropbox but it just says “failed.”

  • MicahWriter WriterMicah (@MicahWriter) reported

    @ScrivenerApp Please find a way to sync using something other than DropBox. I sync between computers using iCloud and OneDrive without any kind of data loss, crash, or issue. DropBox, on the other hand, is scammy and has nearly lost all my data more than once. Please, do better.

  • manuelmaly Manuel Maly (@manuelmaly) reported

    @DropboxSupport That does not help me, as the Dropbox client gives me no info to pin down what exactly the problem is.

  • dave_jessup Dave Jessup (@dave_jessup) reported

    @Dropbox we're trying to cancel our free trial but getting an error page & also there's no email help and chat room is closed. Please advise.

  • js_thrill john stuart millennial 🥑 (@js_thrill) reported

    @trevorjtweets I have synced full raw video lectures from my remote teaching, so it seems like it is something about your setup and not a general Dropbox issue

  • stephenheiner Stephen Heiner (@stephenheiner) reported

    I’ve been a @Dropbox customer for a long time & tonight was another reason I will be for a long time to come: my desktop app was acting up & I had to get help via live chat. An hour later we fixed the problem via an “advanced reinstall” featuring terminal commands! Thanks Jeremy!

  • sanjaypanday Cool Ponds™️🇮🇳 (@sanjaypanday) reported

    @USAndMumbai I have written 2 mails seeking clarification on drop box visa issues. Visa fees paid but unable to get Dropbox appointment in Mum. No response at all. Disappointing service indeed.

  • SplatoonExposed Splatoon Animators Exposed but Hey All (@SplatoonExposed) reported

    IvanDani75 EXPOSED for having a Discord server (evidence included on dropbox)

  • bab3bea Beatrix ❀ (@bab3bea) reported

    @nora_bones_ I ******* hate Dropbox. It’s so slow and I have to remember to clear metadata or else that **** just broadcasts my coordinates

  • nnamba_ ᑎᑎäᗰba (@nnamba_) reported

    Why does Dropbox change the mix of the beat..? I’m seriously tweaking rn bc I’m listening to the same file on my computer and my drop box but they are completely different mixes. Anyone ever have this issue?

  • adaylatekate Katherine (@adaylatekate) reported

    @DropboxSupport Thanks! Seems to just be a lag-time issue. When I tried again it let me update the name.

  • fermello78 Fernando Mello (@fermello78) reported

    @DropboxSupport @DropboxSupport @Dropbox Criminal company! Your time will come. This terror of shutting down accounts and ghosting us, ignoring loyal users, neglecting support and spreading terror will come back towards you like a snowball.

  • vitobotta Vito Botta 🇮🇹🇫🇮🇬🇧 (@vitobotta) reported

    @Dropbox has synced 238 GB in hours. In comparison, #iCloudDrive struggled for days and I had to restart the “bird” process often. At the end I was still having sync issues. Dropbox is truly in another league.

  • Vonster Von Glitschka (@Vonster) reported

    @alainparadis @Dropbox If I quite the app and restart it goes away. Not causing problems really just looks crappy.

  • PurePowerPicks Pure Power Picks (@PurePowerPicks) reported

    @trevorjtweets @js_thrill And yet the problem persists? If so then I'm not sure tbh. I use Dropbox for much bigger files without any issues. Have you tried excising the demons from your computer?

  • js_thrill john stuart millennial 🥑 (@js_thrill) reported

    @trevorjtweets (I mean, that doesn’t mean there is something you can do to fix it, it could be server side or whatever, just: this is not an everywhere Dropbox problem)

  • bouelyan Ali Bouelyan (@bouelyan) reported

    @oOaboyosfOo @Shoe_Deli @DropboxSupport Same problem here.. I had my account since forever. Opened a lot of tickets and posted on thier community page.. no contact what so ever.

  • wwavemm mnw (@wwavemm) reported

    i tried to help my dad with his technology problems but when i suggested he download dropbox on his phone he put his head in jis hands and said "max i am going to kill myself"
