Dropbox Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jay Pellis (@jpellis2008) reportedSo setting up a laptop for an older individual and she needs some docs backup. Was thinking dropbox even though she has a gmail account since I myself have always had issues with the google drive desktop app, mostly with it not properly exiting when shutting down windows.

Baratunde (@baratunde) reported@Dropbox I have the beta as I mentioned in my tweet. I can’t get Smart Sync to function properly and am asking if that’s a known limitation of the beta or something I might be able to fix. Thanks @DropboxSupport
-
David (@TacosAndBeer716) reported@FuntCaseUK Dropbox has been reliable for like 15 years never let me down
-
Deepak Gupta (@Deepakpkgupta) reported@DropboxSupport When i am trying to sign in to my dropbox or gmail account, it's saying account doesn't exit. I had so many things and pictures in my dropbox account and that email is also right. I can't sign in. Please help me out. That data is important.

Bridget Ayers (@BridgetAyers) reported@DropboxSupport I have a link sharing ban my first in 11 yrs. I was told it was a bandwidth issue that would last 24 hrs it's been week. I have a marketing company, no copyright issue or inappropriate content. I reduced file size, deleted all shared links, still can't share.

organize your community (@Mr_Fancipants) reported@LoraxoftheLeft I can’t remember the login to my old Dropbox that has it.
-
Barbara Smith (@nanaslugdiva) reportedDropbox sent me this wild email about how to use their service to "declutter like a pro" when their service is part of the problem. I cannot do robust searches in Dropbox and this has really become a problem as I having been using them for over a decade.
-
Danielle Kristen (@Yusufadamu22) reported@Deepakpkgupta @DropboxSupport Same thing happen to here I wasn’t able to login my account regardless I have made several complain to there team but luckily I was directed to (V6TECH) on Instagram by a friend and they help me fix my account back
-
Nick Seaver (@npseaver) reported@jathansadowski Having looked into this occasionally, I can never figure out which readers 1) support syncing with a big Dropbox folder in a not-terrible way 2) produce normal PDF annotations (i.e. editable on another computer, not an image layer)
-
Mx. Evan Phoenix 💉💉🎉 (@evanphx) reported@baratunde @Dropbox Yeah, I turned Smart Sync on by default and it seems fine? I’ll admit I don’t tax Dropbox very hard on the regular though. It’s running under Rosetta. Lots of folks have had issues with Dropbox running under Rosetta, so you’re likely seeing the same issues. /cc @mitchellh

Sheila Octaviano (@TheInvisibleMo) reportedI use the dropbox because it is close and I don't have to worry about mail issues.
-
dave **** (@dave_smeg) reported@DropboxSupport Everything is working as far as I know. Was just having some trouble uploading multiple videos to someone's account.
-
sumit rai (@sumitraiiam) reported@LiquidTextCorp One concern I have @LiquidTextCorp sync is periodically buggy and doesn't give confidence that I can rely on it for all my work to be saved without problems. There is also sync mis-match between devices that's a scare so I continue to save .itproj file in dropbox.
-
Craig Grannell (@CraigGrannell) reported@mcelhearn Because Dropbox worked like garbage on one of my Macs, I was hoping to shift to iCloud Drive. Now I’m honestly concerned about having anything on there. Knowing this issue goes back to *May* last year is also deeply worrying. Seems like something someone should be writing up.

Richard D. Morey (@richarddmorey) reported@tkylebjorn @emilyldolson @googledrive I haven’t had any such issues with Dropbox, OneDrive, or Box. Box is weird with symlinks, so I typically use Dropbox.
