Lazaro M. (@Lzmrtn66) reported@Dropbox I'm having trouble regaining access to my Dropbox account. I have access to the registered email. I request a password change, you send the password, I log in with the password, then you say you'll send an SMS to my cell phone, but that SMS never arrives.

Josh Schorle (@JoshSchorle) reported@heyderekj Finally tried out Dinky. SUPER IMPRESSIVE! But having issues with original files not actually staying where they were despite the selected setting. I wanted to test photo compression on photos in my Dropbox and output to a desktop folder. Except the files move to desktop folder.

Michael Hartl (@mhartl) reportedFor the billionth time @Apple is failing to properly sync my files across devices. It’s hard to believe iCloud is still so incompetent after so many years. I’m sure it’s not a trivial problem, but @Dropbox gets it right every single time. Surely isn’t too hard for Apple?

ex nihil nihilo (@PseudoEpicurus) reported@Dropbox Thanks for making looking at a shared cat video of 30 seconds a long ordeal by having me login or create an account (to view a shared video!!), sending a code, then just dumping me into my old files I no longer use, and having to go back to the original link just to view it. 🤬

rqfik (@rqfik_) reportedJust found out the guy who stole 120,000 Bitcoins got caught over a Dropbox file. What a genius. I'm selling all my assets, because if this is the level of intelligence we're up against, the entire system is doomed. I mean, who needs security when you've got human error, right?

avrl ☘ (@avrldotdev) reported3. The Sync Engine (Watcher) The Dropbox client uses a "File System Observer" Local Side: It detects a change as you hit Ctrl+S. Server Side: It uses a "Long Polling"/"HTTP/2 Stream" connection. The server keeps a connection open to your phone/laptop. As the metadata changes in the DB, the server "pokes" the other devices to start fetching the new blocks.

Dan (@Holmyverse) reported@FinanceDirCFO But rather "subprime AI", right? SaaS stocks go down because people don't get business, and think that Dropbox, LinkedIn, Spotify, Office 365, Slack, Netflix, Instagram etc. will go out of business simply because "anyone can vibe code their own version".

Miranda Fernandez 📍ELP (@erotiqlibrarian) reportedI re-uploaded videos to Dropbox. Everybody has 24 hours to download before I take them down to remedy Dropbox deleting them.
-
Liam McKnight (@liam_mcknight) reported@MaxNordau I’m getting false positives for phishing on Dropbox so they are being hypersensitive rn. Literally do not share links to the open internet and the number of clicks is probably near zero. Didn’t even get an email telling me about the problem. Then there was a malware false positive today that was quickly resolved within 18 hours >check these digits bro he shares his digits lolol

Lars Alister 💖🔜Anthrocon & Littles Jamboree 2026 (@Lars_Alister) reportedWait a ******* moment she sold the movies she was asked to take down on Dropbox? Without consent or knowledge of the other person? If a man had did that we would be having conversations about him being dangerous or a predator. About how he is a consent violator. So where is the accountability!!!
