@AshishRastogi12 @BlackeKon @AmyAlexCampbell Oh no! That's terrible! They can't be recovered? (I now use Dropbox, and have all my devices connected online through them, so any update is automatically saved no matter where I am. I even have an external hard-drive too for backup)

@TechWithEd @logseq All these errors were a crescendo of bugs, mildly annoying at first, then made it difficult to work until it finally made it impossible to use, so it may all be related in some way. I use a Macbook air M1 and the work folder for this project is on dropbox. I hope it helps.

Found my problem. Because video editing files are about an order of magnitude larger than your input videos, I was trying to sync gigabytes of HDR video with iCloud while Dropbox was trying to sync 200 GB of Final Cut files.

@fab1An @CogSciApps I rarely link to files, but if I do, I use Dropbox, that should work on iOS. Worst case: set up a WebDAV server for it. For my use case, linking calendar events, contacts, Bear notes, web pages and Things todos, an iOS app would be a godsend.

I'm about to give up on @dropbox. I have to go looking for files, and it isn't syncing and I haven't been able to get the help I need to fix it. Any one use a different file storage app that allows them to get to their files from any computer? Thanks for your recommendations.

@grantbennett @obsdmd Whoa! Do you have a scenario I can try to duplicate the issue? Mine seems to be okay. I’m using Obsidian Sync and Dropbox (which I think is causing other issues), but haven’t seen Templater moving issues.

@adamm0rgan If the proposal needs it, there's no problem with it. And obviously that's the norm for anything with illustrations/photos. Only issue I've ever run across is file size for emails, in which case I just make that sucker a PDF or submit as a Dropbox link.

@ELLIOTTCABLE That's really terrible! 😞 Haven't used SyncThing, though I was thinking of switching to it from Dropbox😬How many machines were syncing? I'm curious what happened, when/if you figure it out. Like, did one machine lose the data and essentially sync the loss to the others, or what

@awallens I'm getting that same error. It also does it in Dropbox. I thought maybe I had too many books, but now... I'm just glad it's not just me!'

Why does @Dropbox need 3.7GB of memory in macOS (Apple Silicon) whilst @googledrive only needs <500MB? Bit of an issue don't you think @DropboxSupport for users with 8GB of total memory?

You MUST provide us all with a temporary remedy, a downloadable fix/patch, immediately, until @Dropbox and @Microsoft release updates. How can you have blindsided us this way, without LOUD warning? We're in the act of BUSINESS here, not playing Wordle.

@joyctilton BTW, how exactly do you get voice dream reader to actually work any more? I put audios in zip files in my voice dream folder in dropbox and VTR refuses to even play anything. It errors out on me and does everything but work.

Alternative seems to be to shift to Apple's own iCloud if you need cloud storage. DropBox will have the same problems as OneDrive. Sucks given how the Office suite auto-syncs with OneDrive but not iCloud.

If you often work on @overleaf, it's worth knowing (as I just learnt) that you can link your Overleaf account to Dropbox and sync all your projects to your Dropbox. That way, if there is an outage, say, on a deadline day (like just now), at least you have a local copy.

@ATabarrok Yes but • If you use selective sync or smart sync (I do, and sounds like that’s how @causalinf got screwed) you’re in trouble • If something gets deleted from Dropbox online (yeah, coauthors do this by mistake) 😬

I just deleted ~20GB of stuff from dropbox on one machine, and on another machine the files are no longer listed but the space usage reported by `du` hasn't gone down?

@Matthew26229753 Nope. It says that there is a problem logging and to enter a 6-digit passcode sent to the phone connected to the Dropbox account. Verification of some type, I expect. Shame.

Used @Dropbox for sometime. Annoyingly it loses the time stamp i.e. time of modified file changes to latest even on opening so 'originality' lost ! No help over the weekend (defies logic) & complex support-team explanations ending up 'its your problem' Any better alternatives ?

@stephbaeee This is actually distressing me because what ******** happens if you accidentally submit an assignment for another class to that Dropbox??? Or like tech issues?? It’s giving extremely inconsiderate and hateful energy

@DropboxSupport Sure Step 1 : open Gmail client on iPhone Step 2: compose email Step 3: go to attachments Step 4: <error> can’t find drop box The other way is Step 1: open Dropbox/file_name.pdf Step 2: ‘share’ via email Step 3: <error> shares as a link instead( not as a file_name.pdf )

@Dropbox Hey #Dropbox, please advise users if they opt to let your program backup their Desktop and Documents folders that you will b moving them from their native location into the Dropbox folder. Google Drive (@googledrive) has not this problem. It backs up files in place.

also I have always been scared of using OneDrive because of the issues I had with connecting to it when it first came out. I pay for 1TB on Dropbox and I have google drive as well. this is the first semester I’ve started using it and this file was supposed to

@TechWithEd @logseq Can't reproduce the error because I removed the software but looking at my search history, I found this "EPERM: operation not permitted." Folder was on dropbox, so I tried both on and off dropbox but error kept on popping up.
