    @AgnesSolberg Maybe you thought it was in a Dropbox but it’s actually on Google Drive? I’ve definitely made this panic inducing error many times, both ways

    @DropboxSupport Android app stopped autosaving pdf documents opened with Adobe app. Please fix. Already reported thru app store.

    THEN i try to get dropbox to just take a copy of this godforsaken ssh key and put it up on the machine BUT I CANT because dropbox has to redirect you fifteen times (because modern platforms are 30 layers deep) just miserable in the bottomless pit of broken tech

    @danluu As the person who tried scaling Dropbox's server monorepo, I can attest that the UI isn't user friendly. We had a proposal floating around to abstract out common VCS operations into another tool but realized we'd be causing even more problems than before.

    @ashaharidas @lightroastguy Google Drive gave us a lot of syncing issues. Dropbox had been much better.

    @dynamitextnt_ You'll also want to close down bandwidth-intensive programs to ensure you have enough bandwidth to stream smoothly. Pause downloads (such as game updates) that may be running in the background and turn off background updating programs like Dropbox

    @EmLiuWriting The UI just felt heavy, but that might just be a learning curving thing. The biggest thing I want is something that’s more natively in the cloud so that I can swap devices easily. I felt like the Dropbox versioning would get me into trouble eventually...

    @JoeSilverman7 The science is settled. Anyone should just be able to drop off their tweet/post/whatever at any mailbox or a dropbox down at the docks, no signature or stamp required. Its so easy even the dead can do it, too.

    @andrewpprice Just FYI, the dropbox files for you chair tutorial are no longer there. Link is broken. All the best!

    (Thread) I’m having trouble setting the path to save new projects in #reaper #reaperdaw All the sudden it won’t let me save to Reaper Media folder. I suspect this stems from having inadvertently moved (rather than copied) a project file to Dropbox,

    I looked it up, but the only solution was 'reinstall CSP'. I could keep saving to dropbox/google drive, but also my computer loves to disconnect from the internet for no reason so that presents its own problems 🙃 So it's not a disaster rn, it'll just be slower saving to HDD

    I have some problems with email notifications. I need to get email notification when somebody mention in Paper comments. But this is not happening. I already checked the setting and they are OK. Please advice. Thanks @DropboxSupport

    @ohsat_games Oh the fps marking is from KEGA. I'm using Mac and I have to emulate all this through Dropbox which makes it reaaally slow (I had Exodus running on the background too which kills the performance really). This should be doing 60fps as of now, but VR really runs at 15fps!

    @Dropbox Stress is Everywhere. It’s Not the Stress that’s the problem; it’s the way people Handle stress. Do they React (Emotions) or Respond (Cognitive)? Or do they (Unnecessarily) Create their Own stress?

    I ran out of room on my brand new computer but I can't even put dropbox or TWBlue on it! Why is 476 gigs being used by Windows 10 anyway? Can I fix this? HELP!

    Update: in-ticket @DropboxSupport says it's intended behaviour. I have just used @PortSwigger @Burp_Suite to prove that my problem is a UI/backend bug. Sorry for the salty email, DBX, but... don't be wrong in the first place.

    @FreyaHolmer Explorer plugins like Tortoise or Dropbox? Sometimes they like to ping internet servers, and if the server is down they can have very long timeouts.

    It’s so frustrating I might resort to old style backup.. like hard disk fr? Dropbox storage is too small and it’s out my league to subscribe monthly as a student. Meanwhile, Onedrive probably is facing technical issues from one time to another upon Windows update. *sigh

    @Dropbox Better questions: Where are the cheat codes? How do I report a glitch? How do I revisit the tutorial? What are the win conditions? Are foetuses that die from miscarriages technically speedrunners? How do I log out? Where's my menu?

    E. V. Darcy (@EvieDarcy) reported

    @DropboxSupport That's seems long winded and also a no-no as I'd have to repay to upgrade as you don't do partial refunds. If I turn off auto renewal would this mean I'd be able to change my currency on my next renewal date? Guess I'll be stuck with mailchimp emails until you fix this oversight.

    @mlawrencesound Try disabling/pausing dropbox when saving, that fixed a similar issue I had.
