@bthill1013 External hard drive comes tomorrow, and I do have Cloud and Dropbox--which I initially thought may have been double backing up and causing space issues--but seems like it is the video editing destroying me. I currently cannot edit on my laptop anymore without it shutting down.

@superblindman Do you have them stored somewhere on a local server? What do you mean exactly? Usually, when I put things in dropbox, or even in my documents folder, I have to upload the folder to the browser.

@Moth182001 If you can, include footage of the problem happening or a phone recording of the calibrating screen if it happens there too. I usually put all of my footage and receipts into dropbox and shared the link in the email for extra proof.

@oconnellhugh @jonathanhealy No one gives a flying about where the data is stored. Some may have issues as to why it was stored in first instance though? Does anyone know where their data is stored once it is in the cloud? Google, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Dropbox, Instagram? Answer, not a clue...

Hi @iMightyWolf . May I ask how you upload a photo/link a photo to my question on the crash on the run community page? I've tried adding a Dropbox link, Google photos link and they're not working and come up with a 403 status code error.

@HeblingVieira I'm yet to face that issue- prob because I mostly work in remote. But this is very likely.. so the times I work on my laptop I try to keep dropbox sync turned off.

@ice_theshooter Thanks for getting back to us! Does the issue persist if you were to upload the files using the website via a computer device, or through the Dropbox desktop app? Also, does the issue persist if you alternate between Wi-Fi and cellular data? Thanks.

@ice_theshooter In this case, please uninstall the Dropbox mobile app, reboot your device, and reinstall it. Please then try a fresh upload and let us know if that helps with the upload issues. Thanks!

@Gibbot5000 I replaced dropbox with a vps and syncthing. Search with a searx server. Moved my email off gmail to fastmail, still working up to if I want to actually host that myself.

Nigel bosses #NoCode 🧠
(@NigelGodfrey) reported
@jen4web @Natalie_Furn Yes. And technology comes in far earlier with #NoCode. Identifying a problem is one thing ... validating that the problem is worth solving ... used to mean a landing page (the tired Dropbox model) ... but you can now build a "walking skeleton" pretty much as easily.

Apple has a long history of “Sherlocking*” apps like Tile. The problem is, a lot of people are making money by adding features to Apple’s products. Features are not products. Steve Jobs said it. Then he added online storage as a feature after DropBox refuses to sell.

@MrsPJ_nursery @DeputyMitchell @ICT_MrP All saved either on to dropbox or school server and then where we can, printed and put in either celebration book or the subject book.

Speaking of dark patterns @Dropbox suffers from the same damn issue. Want to know where all your storage has gone without downloading EVERYTHING and using Windirstat? Tough luck!

@neuralreckoning @Box My bug with mendeley was multiple copies being formed from dropbox syncing on my uni, work and personal computers, despite only saving it once, creating a messy library. Have you had this problem and is it better with the new app?
