If I can sell 200 links to access my 350 nudes on dropbox I can get the down payment for my house I want to purchase. 😭

@DropboxSupport Having trouble downloading files right now. Files under 1 GB on the website are downloading at very slow times, then not fully downloading due to a "network error" is there a fix for this?

@deadphishesq The ceo or someone high up claimed they fix it in early 2022 in the original thread. I uninstalled dropbox about a year or so ago when I heard about their app being weird about permissions on macos.

@warpedgeoid @hollowsquare @drewhouston Corporations should not use #dropbox. Too many issues with privacy scanning of your files.

@MacRumors Oops. Someone was snoozing over there. Head of the Mac Product at Dropbox may be in a bit of trouble.

@isaach Now you have to VOTE! I will be sitting down to complete my first vote on Saturday and then cycling to the dropbox to submit it!

@migueldeicaza @never_released Well I understand their dilemma here. A primary feature of Dropbox for me is running away in the background with 100% CPU and ramping my fans up to full blast and that's a hard engineering problem without Rosetta.

@n00neimp0rtant @drewhouston Dropbox doesn't 'background' very well, so running under Rosetta 2 it drains memory and power. I believe it also using legacy Apple kernel extensions that are less efficient (even on Intel Macs), which compounds the problem.

@LPizzle It all depends on the size of the file. Anything around 3-5 megabytes or less shouldn’t be a problem via regular email. But if it’s larger than that you’ll probably want to use a transfer service like Dropbox or WeTransfer. Looks like you’ve got some help!

@CharlieFracture Also I had problems with Dropbox showing slower / inconsistent speeds with large video files I need to transfer I usually stick with GDrive though tbh I like them both. Previewing music in Dropbox is WAY nicer.

@drewhouston Too slow. My team's been on Dropbox Pro for a couple years now. I'm not going to enjoy transferring 12+TB of data to a new service, but I'm going to do it.

@rjonesy I went the other way, Dropbox was super slow and I didn't need all of its fancy stuff, just needed a folder that syncs. iCloud Drive does that well without being a system hog.

@Clarko @philletourneau Once again I will state that I’m genuinely glad you never overwrote a file that you spent significant time on. I hope you never run into that. More than “regret,” less than “castastrophe”, but it remains a completely-avoidable problem Dropbox solved over 10 years ago.

WHY IS DROPBOX NOT WORKING TODAY WHAT THE HELL

@drewhouston Our small company left Dropbox due to this type of slow movement and overall bloat for Google Drive early in 2020.

@mitchellh Recently having trouble paying for Dropbox myself. I was with them since beta, earned extra space for helping to get them customers. Thinking of a switch myself now

@samspearsevans For me it was Dropbox. I had my local copies but it was struggling to connect. There were some issues earlier today that apparently this machine experienced and got stuck in a trying to connect loop. Restarted the app, worked. I was prepped to reboot my network, but not needed.

(@BreakfastVC) reported
@drewhouston @mitchellh Are there plans to address energy usage on Mac? The collection of "Dropbox Web Helper" processes nibble away at battery even when idle and support doesn't seem to think that's a problem. Been this way for years.

@matt_maszczak @Reveal_House I haven’t had any issues. But I’m also primarily on my Mac. As long as the file is saved under my Scrivener app in Dropbox it seems to be working fine.

And you know what's crazy my Dropbox is acting up and i see that Dropbox is trending on twitter "Oh so it must be something happening all over the place let's see what they're say-" ... Allow me just to say i am the only one having issues today and leave it at that my god

@mitsuhiko What issues do you have with Dropbox? I was planning to switch to Dropbox from OneDrive due to lack of official support for Linux in OneDrive.

@CEWaffles Seriously. "Dropbox" was trending, so I thought it was down or something. Click over, and the first 3 posts were hella explicit.

@benlovejoy I tried it. I got sync errors after the initial sync; a dialog said to report it to GitHub. Deleted. You can say a lot about dropbox, but it pretty much always works.

@ShellyUrquhart @JayeeSofi This is probably too slow. Police need to do pro dev: Gmail and Safari or equivalents and Word-Dropbox-Twitter. VPD cadets etc. & applicants too. “Police began to notice the increase when officers compared notes at morning meetings to discuss overnight events, Visintin said.”

@stroughtonsmith I’ve had a lot of issues with Dropbox on Mac though. Issues I haven’t had with OneDrive.

@DropboxSupport files are syncing INCREDIBLY slow today and yesterday. To the point I can’t work. Nothing is wrong with my network, please help!

@reneritchie @Dropbox But should it take 18-20 months post AS dev kit to implement? That is some massively slow sprint speeds.

@scotchua Not necessarily. If you have an app which uses Dropbox to sync its data, losing xattrs may cause minor issues.

@markgurman DropBox is terrible anyway. It has so much bloat and uses way more resources than is needed. Abandoned them years ago and so happy I did.

Dropbox is such a dumb site/platform for me to have issues on but i live a stupid little life so i guess that's why i can't download anything today
