Dropbox Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _mfbc B (@_mfbc) reported

    @stephbaeee This is actually distressing me because what ******** happens if you accidentally submit an assignment for another class to that Dropbox??? Or like tech issues?? It’s giving extremely inconsiderate and hateful energy

  • lukestein ⑆Luke Stein⑈ (@lukestein) reported

    @ATabarrok Yes but • If you use selective sync or smart sync (I do, and sounds like that’s how @causalinf got screwed) you’re in trouble • If something gets deleted from Dropbox online (yeah, coauthors do this by mistake) 😬

  • MatthewKnipfer Matthew Knipfer (@MatthewKnipfer) reported

    Found my problem. Because video editing files are about an order of magnitude larger than your input videos, I was trying to sync gigabytes of HDR video with iCloud while Dropbox was trying to sync 200 GB of Final Cut files.

  • AurelienLaine Aurélien Lainé (@AurelienLaine) reported

    @TechWithEd @logseq All these errors were a crescendo of bugs, mildly annoying at first, then made it difficult to work until it finally made it impossible to use, so it may all be related in some way. I use a Macbook air M1 and the work folder for this project is on dropbox. I hope it helps.

    @adamm0rgan If the proposal needs it, there's no problem with it. And obviously that's the norm for anything with illustrations/photos. Only issue I've ever run across is file size for emails, in which case I just make that sucker a PDF or submit as a Dropbox link.

  • bardsong Shantastic (@bardsong) reported

    @awallens I'm getting that same error. It also does it in Dropbox. I thought maybe I had too many books, but now... I'm just glad it's not just me!'

  • BitcoinTarzan Bitcoin Tarzan, King of the Fitness Monkeys (@BitcoinTarzan) reported

    Coming soon -- a PDF download of my free fitness book, *self-hosted on my own Bitcoin Tarzan server.* No more Google, Dropbox, or any of those other Big Tech shitheels

  • torb_xyz Torb 🦋 (@torb_xyz) reported

    PS: None of this excuses Apple providing such terrible APIs for integration to Dropbox, Onedrive, etc…

  • ghostfinder Adam Christopher (@ghostfinder) reported

    Alternative seems to be to shift to Apple's own iCloud if you need cloud storage. DropBox will have the same problems as OneDrive. Sucks given how the Office suite auto-syncs with OneDrive but not iCloud.

  • torb_xyz Torb 🦋 (@torb_xyz) reported

    I believe that Dropbox bad performance is their own fault and not a result of macOS as I know Windows users report the same problems with Dropbox on their platforms. Which is too bad, all else being equal, I prefer to be on a independent sync platform.

  • campbellsl A vaccinated Susan Campbell (@campbellsl) reported

    I'm about to give up on @dropbox. I have to go looking for files, and it isn't syncing and I haven't been able to get the help I need to fix it. Any one use a different file storage app that allows them to get to their files from any computer? Thanks for your recommendations.

  • BrynWithin Бгчп 🇿🇦 (@BrynWithin) reported

    Why does @Dropbox need 3.7GB of memory in macOS (Apple Silicon) whilst @googledrive only needs <500MB? Bit of an issue don't you think @DropboxSupport for users with 8GB of total memory?

  • reduhhabook s (@reduhhabook) reported

    I just got in trouble because a grown *** man cant figure out how to click on a ******* dropbox link. And yet they make more money?????????????? I cant wait for the older generation to die off <3

  • WRITEboyslove WRITEboyslove (@WRITEboyslove) reported

    @AshishRastogi12 @BlackeKon @AmyAlexCampbell Oh no! That's terrible! They can't be recovered? (I now use Dropbox, and have all my devices connected online through them, so any update is automatically saved no matter where I am. I even have an external hard-drive too for backup)

  • bencodezen Ben Hong (@bencodezen) reported

    @grantbennett @obsdmd Whoa! Do you have a scenario I can try to duplicate the issue? Mine seems to be okay. I’m using Obsidian Sync and Dropbox (which I think is causing other issues), but haven’t seen Templater moving issues.
