Dropbox Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SilentUK Otter (@SilentUK) reported

    The new @googledrive that you're forced to use on Win 10 is an absolutely broken piece of sh*t. The original backup and sync worked flawlessly, this new one causes so many errors and failed uploads. Might have to go back to @Dropbox.

  • Eibonfilms Lee Bailes (@Eibonfilms) reported

    @druzif Are you giving Dropbox time to sync Drew? I've had issues when an inexplicable go slow happens on my network as the file is uploaded, but it's usually my router causing problems for me or a slow drive. Are you able to swap it to sync to Dbox first and then the EHD?

  • schmango902 Schmango (@schmango902) reported

    @Holy_Hendrix_85 @Randomamer @dpakman The one woman even mentioned they usually receive evidence that needs to be sent in a lossless way via dropbox. That wasn't done here and was likely compressed by someone's email server as they were haphazardly sending it around.

  • hendryx 👩🏻Zoe 🦄Huffles 🐱Yuri (@hendryx) reported

    @simonbs I’ve been thinking of moving away from 1Password for similar reasons. Back when they allowed you to sync everything via Dropbox, there was safety in that if 1Password went down you had a backup of everything via a script on you machine. Now of course that safety is gone. :(

    ⇢˚⋆ ✎ ˎˊ- does anyone know what are good places to upload videos? my internet is too slow for gdrive and dropbox.

  • kaiserrollsose Kaiserrollsose (@kaiserrollsose) reported

    @Still4Yang @gbyvr_ @JackPosobiec Only one problem...sending a text or dropbox video of EVIDENCE is against all procedures for chain of custody in a trial

  • twainrichardson Twain Richardson (@twainrichardson) reported

    When it comes to collaboration, google drive is not it. Dropbox is the best I’ve come across, even it had its issues.

  • betalogue Pierre Igot (@betalogue) reported

    A few weeks ago, macOS started having this problem with the FG window randomly losing focus (in any app). After some research, started suspecting recently installed… #Maestral app (Dropbox substitute). So much for open source software being the solution to all our problems!

  • DanMathewsATL Dan Mathews (@DanMathewsATL) reported

    @Dropbox Sick error message when people are trying to download a file for their job so they can go to bed before 3 am…

  • realAKJackson Alan Jackson (@realAKJackson) reported from Houston, Texas

    @sebastiangood Yeah, Google docs, Google photos, Pandora, Dropbox. Living bi-coastal I love the cloud. Downside is if internet goes down, I'm nearly helpless. I run R locally. Not much else. A bunch of cron jobs.

  • RSDJKayPlaya ROCKSTARR DJ KayPlaya (@RSDJKayPlaya) reported

    Switching to dropbox was a TERRIBLE idea. Now I have doubles in serato AND serato keeps forcing iTunes to read the dropbox folder and not the iTunes folder for some reason. Should've stayed with Google Drive smdh

  • WARPATHETERNAL Warpath (@WARPATHETERNAL) reported

    @DropboxSupport Ok thanks I try to login to view the status and I can’t because I don’t have a code. Hopefully they get back to me. Would it help to send someone the previous phone number I had 2FA turned on with?

  • druzif Pride Reads Drew (@druzif) reported

    I’ve got a file save issue. I’m saving my novel to my personal external hard drive and also Dropbox. But when I overwrite the file it says it’s done it but it hasn’t. I’m having to open the Dropbox file. Cute and paste the new words from my EHD file, and save that way. Help!?

  • mbootyspoon Martyn Bootyspoon (@mbootyspoon) reported

    Dropbox for web does not need to be this broken

  • mairtinofaolain Martin Whelan (@mairtinofaolain) reported

    @WFjordian Oh I forgot the file properties going down a level, though one of the Dropbox options got added back level with onedrive and Skype. I bet they rightly complained.

  • shisabella1 Kate ☕🍂 (@shisabella1) reported

    @Nandosagi1 That would be fine!! If it's not too much trouble, it would be great if you could upload them somewhere like dropbox/mega, but absolutely no pressure/rush!

  • shinmai Cute Notman MGS boss "coder 🇸 🇭 🇮 🇳 🇲 🇦 🇮" (@shinmai) reported

    @pavolrusnak @GeoffreyHuntley That would make _too_ much sense, since the magnet link can't be taken down by a web service getting shut down, restructured or changing ownership. The NFT need to point to a Dropbox link of the .torrent file.

    help has anyone ever uploaded a word document to Dropbox on their phone bcos I’m trying to and it’s not working and I really need it to😭😭

  • shrandall_fotf Red Gyarados (@shrandall_fotf) reported

    @BigBrotherNut Cant be held responsible for a transfer issue whether that be via email or dropbox and its missing the point of fatally shooting someone unarmed.

  • ellallanb Allan (@ellallanb) reported

    @DropboxSupport Great! Account was Plus and suddenly it is listed as 'basic' and i'm being pestered to upgrade and notified i'm over storage limits. sucks there is no human interaction with Dropbox Support...and the help topics don't relate to the problem

  • Lougarooots Nicolas chuzel (@Lougarooots) reported

    @DropboxSupport hi since the last update of the iOS app, i have trouble with my photo imports. It renames my files so the arrive in the wrong order. Can you help please ?

  • Violino1567 Oliver Webber (@Violino1567) reported

    @DropboxSupport is there a limit on file size for a direct download? Having persistent problems with a 1.7GB pdf file. “Network error” after about 1GB

  • petecarr Pete Carr 📷💜🖖🏻😎🌈 (@petecarr) reported

    One week later and I’m facing the exact same issue. Arg! Just upload 4.2mb you silly sausage of a computer. I really should find some cash and start paying for Dropbox again. Oh the app is bloatware but it did sync. Bored bored bored of technology fails.

  • ClaytonBurnsPhD Clayton Burns (@ClaytonBurnsPhD) reported

    @ThomasforBC We need to teach information cycles in high school: research, storage, collation, composition. I like Gmail-Safari-Word-Dropbox-Twitter. We need to work on memory. Often civil servants have trouble following a phone conversation.

  • yi_che_chang Yi-Che Oliver Chang (@yi_che_chang) reported

    @BinaryNights Hi, a while ago, I sent you an email regarding dropbox link copying not working but haven't heard back yet (it could also be that I just missed the email even though I have already checked a few times). Do you have an update on this?

  • NateGarvison Nate Garvison (@NateGarvison) reported

    @Dropbox @DropboxSupport I’m deleting Dropbox from my computer until you can address this memory/CPU issue. Computers don’t have infinite resources. Fix your software.

  • druzif Pride Reads Drew (@druzif) reported

    @Eibonfilms Yeah it’s had time. It even pops up with the box asking if I want to rewrite it. I had this issues yesterday too. It had 24 hours to sync and when I opened it it hadn’t updated. Maybe I just need to make sure I’m opening the Dropbox file and rewriting the EHD one every time

  • AkasenTheRed Akasen the Red Wizard (@AkasenTheRed) reported

    Okay maybe syncing Joplin to my ******* dropbox was a horrible idea. The ******* program keeps making dropbox freakout and yell "A FILE HAS BEEN DELETED" Which is also more of dropbox's damn issue
