Dropbox Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • FaD_SMP Fairies and Dragons SMP (@FaD_SMP) reported

    2/5/22 modpack update: created a dropbox link with all of the mods, once all invites are sent and discord server is created, the link to download the .zip file will be sent out

  • alaboos alaboos (@alaboos) reported

    @Microsoft I am canceling my #Office365 subscription because you’re forcing files on-demand @onedrive on my #MacBookPro and it’s wreaking a havoc on my backups, and always keep on device option is not working. Time to go back to good old trusty @Dropbox.

  • skinnylatte Adrianna Tan (@skinnylatte) reported

    (It seems to give me the fastest speed, compared to GDrive, which has rate limits, and Dropbox, which are the main Takeout options. Download by email link is horrendously slow even on a very fast internet connection. rclone to onedrive has been the fastest for me.)

  • flafoto Flaminia Fanale 🏳️‍🌈 (@flafoto) reported

    Anyone else feeling constantly frustrated with @dropbox? Everything is SO slow and navigation so illogical 😑😑😑 ugh

  • Ky_Dash Ky | ᐅᓪᓗᕆᐊᖅ (@Ky_Dash) reported

    Trying out some alternate file sharing providers to replace the current notitg / oitg dropbox links. gdrive seems somewhat promising: can actually download the entire thing, without being required to sign in into anything will hopefully be restarting the semi regular updates soon

  • CinCity227 Cindi Owens (@CinCity227) reported

    @DropboxSupport Yeah, I was charged even though I canceled a subscription during the 30 day free trial and no one can explain why or help me resolve the issue. They just keep making me repeat the same thing over and over.

  • Tamarastampone Tamara 👩🏻‍💻✨ (@Tamarastampone) reported

    So not sure how to word this correctly but I’d like to setup a server on my website so that clients can upload video files or other files to it and I can then download it directly. How do I do this? I use Wordpress. Similar to Dropbox but with a unique login

  • KidSpyral K Hus ⚔️ (@KidSpyral) reported

    Anyone else having an issue with Dropbox?

  • Obbi_mation Obbi-mation🔞 (@Obbi_mation) reported

    Also, I'll be moving all my stuff AGAIN but this time to mega. This just means that while I'm transferring things over from dropbox, some posts may have broken links.

  • MarkCarterInIL Mark Carter (@MarkCarterInIL) reported

    Who else has problems with #dropbox recently? It worked so well in the past but now I back up all my writing to it and it takes forever, hangs, locks up, & always has errors. I used to click upload & forget about it. Now it needs babysat to make sure it works--& it never does.

  • Toxius_ Briar (@Toxius_) reported

    @AdorkaStock Would you be able to sell linked PDFs? That's the way a lot of e/tsy folks get around file limits. It just unfortunately runs into the issue of off-site storage via gdrive or dropbox or something.

  • SpencerMacprem Spencer👑🤑 she/her (@SpencerMacprem) reported

    Is there something faster than Dropbox uploading to use for content? I genuinely hate how slow the download times are it shouldn’t take me over an hour to upload on 5 minute video it’s ridiculous.

  • _CherylEtchison Cheryl Etchison (@_CherylEtchison) reported

    Is anyone else having Dropbox/Scrivener sync issues? I work between a desktop and laptop. The files save to Dropbox and reopen in the same place as long as I'm on the same device.

  • IzzieGOfficial Izzie G (@IzzieGOfficial) reported

    @JustinMac_84 My dropbox is kind of having a moment with voicedream reader, so I thought that erasing a few folders might make the one folder I’m having an issue with reappear. Turns out, that didn’t work. Booo dropbox and voicedream.

  • CoinSeer Miss MacD ᴺᶠᵀ (@CoinSeer) reported

    @artforpower It is a scammer that sends you an infected dropbox file to hack your PC and wallet. I got it shut down. See previous tweets. I copied the conversation so others could know what these scams look like / But generally, I get account's shut down everyday bc I take time to report them

  • coreyward Corey Ward (@coreyward) reported

    @cybergibbons It comes down to crap software that doesn't care about the end user experience. Someone should do a long term study so that we can definitively point to **** like Adobe Creative Cloud, Chrome, and Dropbox as the culprits.

  • BrianSmallbrook Brian Smallbrook🌐 (@BrianSmallbrook) reported

    @DropboxSupport This problem never arose for sender in the past when sharing folder vs. link. I thought recipients of invite access via the cloud, online, not their local drive.

  • badatwriting m (@badatwriting) reported

    @doodlemancy cloudmancy :( you have a lot of problems with a lot of things i take for granted but it's okay ig if dropbox works for you that's fine, i have onedrive, google drive and mega because i didn't have anything better to do than set that all up one afternoon but they all work

  • terricoles_ terri's cold ⛄️ (@terricoles_) reported

    'Altogether, the former employees said, the closing of the Tuck Shop was emblematic of a radical change to Dropbox's culture....former employees also cited the lack a clear product strategy and some high-profile executive departures that dragged down the mood among employees'

  • vincefalconi vince 🔧 (@vincefalconi) reported

    a moment of genuine delight w/ computers: the iOS Files app has a built-in document scanner and it works SO much better than just taking a picture. and! you can connect and save to, say, a file server on your network. no need to use email or Dropbox/etc. ymmv obviously but 🤯

  • starsmoonandsun Danielle ✨🌑🌞 (@starsmoonandsun) reported

    Can I download photos someone sent me from dropbox into my phone or can I sign in to dropbox to view them how does this work can someone tell me thank you so much

  • SoCalBookFiend 💜 SoCalBookFiend 💜 (@SoCalBookFiend) reported

    @xxxbby21 Yeah. Unfortunately it sounds like you were scammed. And part of the reason I personally don’t use/do Dropbox. He probably took the link from the screenshot to take your content I would assume. That’s terrible and sucks. Sorry that happened to you. 😢

  • SunhouseCLG Time for Ranked-Choice Voting - Christine_G (@SunhouseCLG) reported

    @carolinapoena @ryanwelcher It's an FSE theme I'm building with your course, @carolinapoena. Local, with MAMP, no plugins. I put it in Dropbox if either of you want the link. My functions file is not working at all this AM, though.😒 But I wanted u both to know I'd like get back when I get it working again.

  • huuishuu huu (@huuishuu) reported

    can anyone else confirm they are unable to sign into dropbox atm? every attempt i get just leads me to "there was an error processing this request", regardless of browser

  • smoke_me_out007 aL p@L (@smoke_me_out007) reported

    It’s hella weird to me when people have issues with Instagram… Dropbox is by far the most toxic and spiteful application out there..

  • BarumDean Dean Morrison 🇪🇺#FBPE #RejoinEU (@BarumDean) reported from Hastings, England

    @JaredMackie1 @JuliaHB1 Well you said you did the appropriate research into the datasets. So the appropriate datasets you looked at. Give me your list and I'll narrow it down so you don't have to send over too many big files. WeTransfer or Dropbox works for me.

  • ThijsvanUlden .Thijs (@ThijsvanUlden) reported

    @DropboxSupport no thanks, it's a years old issue, you cannot fix it

  • ATR_Fiction All These Roadworks (@ATR_Fiction) reported

    It actually might be a large scale problem because I'm also having trouble with Dropbox and intermittent issues with Facebook. :-(

  • amias Admiral Boaty Van Boatface (@amias) reported

    @petedevnull @tomcentral @Bandcamp dropbox is really terrible internally , i would not recommend having networked filesystems on a computer you use for audio work.

  • steindavidb stein (@steindavidb) reported

    Finally gave up on trying to resolve the cache bloat issues and uninstalled @dropbox from all my Linux boxes. Feeling pretty bummed to lose the little green "your stuff is backed up" checkmarks.
