Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AdamEllisDJ Adam Ellis (@AdamEllisDJ) reported

    @JenReneMusic I use Dropbox and the saw daw with some clients. We share 1 project file and then save a new version each time someone edits it. It can cause issues though, unfortunately.

  • Kysarcius Kysarcius (@Kysarcius) reported

    @lordsutch @SeanTrende +1. I migrated to self-hosting back when Dropbox introduced a device limit. Rude wake-up call that my workflow was completely at the mercy of a corporation's changing whims. Everyone should run their own server if they're able.

  • joplinapp Joplin (@joplinapp) reported

    @rfpludwick @onedrive Nice to hear it's working well for you. WebDAV is indeed generally faster than OneDrive or Dropbox for sync. Out of curiosity, which WebDAV server do you use? From what we've heard it seems Apache and Nginx modules give very good performance.

  • kalgadoart Kalgado @ sticker expo @ Frank&Sons (@kalgadoart) reported

    i can't believe im working for somewhere that can afford microsoft word instead of google docs and an actual internal server instead of ******* dropbox

  • ma2keithappen mik c'',) 🔶 (@ma2keithappen) reported

    @DropboxSupport i paid annually my subscription to avoid issues but you have unlinked my team folder and have my files missing, how dare you!!!

  • amiraplayzrh amira :) (@amiraplayzrh) reported

    @absoculenlutely @DropboxSupport Try @hytechcyber to fix your account immediately

  • notseanhogan 0.8 Parse, btw (@notseanhogan) reported

    Trying to download some video from a client at work, Dropbox won’t load. Decided to check Twitter to see if it might be down. Search Dropbox, see that it’s trending. Mistake.

  • RayneHall Rayne Hall (@RayneHall) reported

    Dear @Dropbox @dropboxsupport Do you always mark issues as 'solved' without solving anything? Even after promising the client that the issue would not be closed without their consent? Shame on you, Dropbox

  • ConnorWright81 nameless (@ConnorWright81) reported

    @BombaSquadDan I send anything under 20$ in a pwe and never have issues. I have a outgoing mail Dropbox infront of my townhouses and drop them in there. Only had return mail once cuz label got torn but that was my fault . I can ship BMWT for like 3.40 on PayPal, post office will charge you 5$

  • dave2482 Dave (@dave2482) reported

    @sam_angelina22 Try using free Dropbox & Snapfish as automatic backup storage in case you delete something in error or lose your phone. Snapfish allow you 50 free prints each month 6x4 for a couple of quid postage too.

    **** i’m so horny who's down to buy nudes Dropbox videocall dm me.! #wet #buyingcontents

  • cwarny Cedric Warny (@cwarny) reported

    Moxie says "people don’t want to run their own servers, and never will", but there must be something inbetween your own on-premise server & giving away your data to a few web properties: dropbox/icloud but closer to a db and with an API to manage third-party read/write access

  • VirgilePC Virgile (@VirgilePC) reported

    @buttercup_pw Hello, I have an issue with the new Buttercup release (v 2.4.0) on iOS. When I try to connect to my Dropbox account to add a vault with my bcup file on this, I have an error and the vault is opening on read-only. 1/2

  • buttercup_pw Buttercup (@buttercup_pw) reported

    @VirgilePC Hello! Sorry to hear you’re having issues. The 0 response code in that error indicates a network failure, nothing controlled by Buttercup or Dropbox. We’d recommend trying to change networks (wifi vs cellular) and then try again..

  • rubendny Ruben D (@rubendny) reported

    @DropboxSupport @ASAP Well, I don't want to experience an issue. That's for sure. I'm in the preventive mode rather than the reactive one. The OS: 12.2.1 (21D62) Dropbox: 145.4.4921

  • RamasundaramS10 Ramasundaram S (@RamasundaramS10) reported

    @DropboxSupport Didn’t expect my experience to be so bad with you. Pls upgrade my account to Professional ASAP. Chat details and my issues are in ticket no #16367684. Let me know an update ASAP

  • tcarmody Tim Carmody (@tcarmody) reported

    @shanakimball I looked into this and apparently the music rights issue makes it extremely cost-prohibitive still, somebody’s gotta have a VHS or DVD dub we can all Dropbox or hook into on Plex or something

  • RamasundaramS10 Ramasundaram S (@RamasundaramS10) reported

    @DropboxSupport I’m facing issues while trying to upgrade from Plus to Professional account. Tried with your support. But that was a very painful experience. She said my ticket would be escalated and had cut me short without letting me complete. Ticket no: #16367684

  • BrysonKnoel Bryson Knoel (@BrysonKnoel) reported

    @baredex @AndrewAstor @horuhesan I set it before I even sent the links out. And this was for multiple files over the course of a whole school year as a teacher, lol. Hundreds of people telling me they can't access a file. Never had that problem with Dropbox.

  • kevin_kipp Kevin Kipp (@kevin_kipp) reported

    @hankchizljaw I hadn't used it in a long time. Recently, my mom wanted to share some photos, and shared them via dropbox. Apparently these photos she shared count against my data quota, and dropbox just started absolutely hounding me about it over email. Terrible.

  • codemerlin Mohit Thakral (@codemerlin) reported

    @CrankyZoul @JasonSolinsky @uttara_a This is dropbox not consulate appointment, this is an issue on VFS side and they should own. Even IMO don't cancel, show up and if they say anything, ask them to show this documented anywhere. I am sure they would figure something out in person, again just because this vfs

  • JesseDGraham Jesse Graham (@JesseDGraham) reported

    just found out the very hard way that if you put a "/" in a file name in Dropbox, it'll create a file structure using the / as levels and now I have to slowly move 350 photos to fix my mistake 🥲🥲

  • JohnZavinski John Zavinski (@JohnZavinski) reported

    @LauraHuntORI @Dropbox To get an electronic refund or maybe to create a login to file or check on the status of this year’s, i recall the IRS asks for it as sort of a checksum to help prove you are you.

  • buttercup_pw Buttercup (@buttercup_pw) reported

    We’ve identified a bug in our Dropbox integration for our mobile app. Some intermittent connection problems may arise from this. A fix is coming asap..

  • prodghoul_ ghoul (@prodghoul_) reported

    @baredex I hate dropbox too, but having "There was a problem playing this audio file" pop up on a very important email that u sent is the reason very few people use google drive

  • RamasundaramS10 Ramasundaram S (@RamasundaramS10) reported

    @DropboxSupport I tried with my PC browser from which minutes earlier I had paid for my Plus account. I tried with mobile browser also, where I had faced the same issue. Pls let me know should I try with a different card.

  • buttercup_pw Buttercup (@buttercup_pw) reported

    @VirgilePC Yes, seems there’s an issue with adding new Dropbox vaults. We’ll try to fix this asap. Thanks for reporting it!

  • navinvarma Navin Varma (@navinvarma) reported

    Original tweet seems to have been deleted now, but it pointed out how broken the visa appointment system for a mere Dropbox appointment in India is such a nightmare for people who have not seen their families in 3yrs despite having an approved US visa. 1/2

    @ringrosie12 There is! should be up in 5 minutes, had issues with dropbox
