Is Dropbox down?

@emmangoldstein Not sure what problem is working on being solved. Amazon Prime Members get what appears to still be unlimited photo storage, even RAWs - but its nearly impossible to share galleries but its backed up. I've migrated anything I need to share to SmugMug and Dropbox. Better controls.

@jessiepp @QuinterApp upload your error log or send it as a dropbox transfer.

@robkroese Thanks for the screenshot, Robert! The error here (specifically the error type: error 0xc000012f) seems to be device specific, and generated by Dropbox. In this case, please first reboot your device as outlined if you haven't already. 1/2...

@DropboxSupport Ah, I see now that I get an error if I try to start Dropbox. Looks like I need to reinstall

@DropboxSupport No error messages. I save a Word file to Dropbox on one PC, and I can see it in the web interface on another PC, but it doesn't appear when I try to browse to it from Word in on that PC

Adding files to dropbox I see why my computer was so damn slow. **** from 2016. Footprint craz

@brentschoonover I've started keeping my entire Dropbox folder on a portable drive just so I have another version I can access in case of network problems.

I'm going to drop a Weird Dogs today/tomorrow. I'm actually doubling down on this #NFT project, and doubling down on the weirdness aspect. I'll be setting up a discord for it soon, and a dropbox for future collaborators to send stuff they want to be WeirdDogged.

@MissUnsworth94 @LitdriveUK, or a blog. Issue with Dropbox is eventually you clear out and then link is/cab be broken.

@DropboxSupport Can't login since 7/28. Opened a ticket and no reply since then. It said 1-2 days for a reply. I need to access my files!

@UXLaima I had a UX director who set a deadline and I could ask a few questions, plus another designer who shared resources (decks, fonts, Dropbox stuff) but they were working on other projects so I had to use my experience and skills to solve the problem. It was a undercover IA problem.

@kl_support Hello, your opentip Web Address Analysis uses Internet Explorer to browse the URL. But modern websites (such as Dropbox, used to host malware) cannot be browsed by Internet Explorer anymore. Please fix this.

@ladymunch Ok then, stick it in Dropbox and send it down here! You can have this cold weather and rain in return if you want lol

@me_beber @BioMickWatson Well, if your *** strategy is 1. write script 2. run script 3. if needed, fix stuff, goto 2 3. write paper 4. *** init && *** add . & *** commit -m "share the project" Then you in fact can keep your repo in dropbox.

@DropboxSupport Has your app sorted out the issue of third party softwares requesting files and re-importing them to Mac, after being backed up?

@noasins Noa-san, the dropbox link shows a 404 error 😭

After finally backing up all work and personal files to Google Drive, I've had second thoughts about using Google. Daft tit. I would go back to Dropbox, but its synching app had huge issues with Sketch pulling back archived files. Le sigh.

@Vauntastic I'd never thought of that. I don't use Dropbox though anyway, just my own server

@DropboxSupport Is anyone at @Dropbox still working on the Dropbox Paper iOS App? Launches super slow, freezes all the time, doesn‘t support dark mode, no notable progress for at least 1 year …

I had so many memes on my phone that it slowed down almost to a full stop today. I think I'm going to need a dedicated Dropbox account. 😳

@davidfowl Depends on the person doing the sharing and the receiver. Me? I'd upload a file to my web server. If it's someone who doesn't have a server, something like dropbox or google drive (I never use my OneDrive (sorry Microsoft!) but I assume that has sharing capabilities?)

@JakeyButNot i tried google drive but the files didnt work i'll just dm u my dropbox login lol

@richardhursty @glyncannon You should be fine - we have a Synology DS214 plugged in to our Virgin router - works fine. Only problem we had was path length limits - very very long file names causing backups to bork. Should note that a NAS is no replacement for off-site BU, so we sync it to Dropbox.

@JakeyButNot honestly i'd be cool with just giving you my login my dropbox isn't super important to me

I am doing a thing on one PC and I need to use the files from there on another PC. And (onedrive, dropbox, gdrive) work so flawlessly on this I cannot believe that mere 20 years back I had to run samba server for that very process.

@ix2nheels @DropboxSupport i was facing the same problem but @RecoveryCyber helped me resolve it

@RayBeyondHurt1 @Captainalbert12 Yes but even YouTube seem to have taken the down. All my old files have been lost when I transfered from one cloud account to Dropbox (strangely) so I have little to show. Besides, trying to convince people about it is like telling them about Covid..!!

@ThatsPrettyLouw The second option, if the display is broken but touch input works, is to use a USB-C HDMI MHL adapter. P20, P30, and P40 models support attaching a display over HDMI if the adapter is MHL compatible. Then you recover stuff using Bluetooth or upload to GDrive/OneDrive/Dropbox, etc

@jonasnoelle I wrote my own Zettelkasten system for Emacs, lol. On my phone, I just write down ideas in e-mails that I send to myself. When I'm at my computer, I file this stuff away. Not perfect, but it works. But my Zettelkasten is plain text, so I could edit it via Dropbox on the phone.

@alanfleming @onedrive @pcpro Doesnt seem to worry Dropbox et alia. The problem is that onedrive is still essentially a windows sync service, and MS simply cannot be arsed to support a wider namespace. They keep promising its coming, but life is too short to wait.
