Dropbox Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@imtiaznabi_ @abhijitwt Verified: All claims check out. AWS uses Rust for Nitro/Enclaves. Microsoft is migrating core Windows/Azure/C++ to it. Google cut Android memory vulns with Rust. Cloudflare rebuilt proxies in Rust. Discord switched perf services from Go. Dropbox rewrote backend/client parts. Figma uses it for multiplayer/server/canvas. Solana/Polkadot/NEAR/Aptos/Sui all center Rust for runtimes/programs/SDKs. The post's solid but overhypes "everyone's doing it" as if Rust fixes all. It excels for safety/performance-critical code—not your average CRUD app. Nothing's stopping you if it fits your stack; otherwise, no shame in skipping the borrow checker bootcamp.

ZeroBANG (@Z3R0B4NG) reported@Pirat_Nation Does the EU also force Google/Samsung to keep the Android OS compatible for 10 years? 2013 Android 8 phone here, bit of OLED burn-in, battery still fine! Problem is Dropbox, or my Moms hearing aid config app are saying NOPE to the ancient Android 8 OS, forcing me to upgrade.

Sergei Shiryayev (@SergeiShiryayev) reported@Dropbox Can you please fix file renaming? I rename a file, click it to download it, it still has the old name when I download it. I have to refresh the browser to get the new name...

Cryptosailor (@robertdavid010) reported@zmanian The issue was not focusing on the actual innovation being done in the Cosmos eco, & instead getting wrapped up in crypto casino degen hype. Eg. @Jackal_Protocol delivers on a decentralized 'Dropbox' @gitopiaDAO delivers on decentralized 'GitHub' (all Cosmos project should use)

Existential Exhortations (@existentexhorts) reportedBad idea for Google One to not offer a smooth simpatico transition for all of the TMobile billed customers they are attempting to force higher charges on. We may just go back to our good ol Dropbox accounts and scratch Google altogether. Down with the monopolies!!!

Nas (@Nas_tech_AI) reported1. The Y Combinator Idea Validator "You are a senior partner at Y Combinator who has evaluated 50,000+ startup applications and funded companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Dropbox. You know within 5 minutes whether an idea has real potential or is a waste of time. I need a brutally honest validation of my business idea before I invest a single hour building it. Validate: - Problem clarity: is this solving a real painful problem or a 'nice to have' that nobody will pay for - Market size estimate: how many people have this problem and how much would they pay to solve it - Existing solutions: what are people currently using and why is my approach meaningfully better - Willingness to pay test: 5 questions I can ask real people today to confirm they'd actually buy this - Unfair advantage check: what do I personally have (skills, network, experience) that makes me the right person to build this - Business model clarity: how exactly does this make money subscription, one-time, marketplace, or ads - First 10 customers: who specifically are my first 10 paying customers and where do I find them - MVP definition: the absolute smallest version I can build to test if people will pay - Kill criteria: what specific evidence in the next 7 days would prove this idea is dead - YC verdict: fund, pass, or pivot with the single most important reason Format as a Y Combinator-style application review with a brutally honest score out of 10 and a clear go/no-go recommendation. My idea: [DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS IDEA, WHO IT'S FOR, WHAT PROBLEM IT SOLVES, AND WHY YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD PAY]"

Kiran J. Holla (@kiranjholla) reportedOK, I've had it with @OneDrive. The sync is so atrociously bad that it just slows down my entire laptop. Over the next few weeks I will slowly be moving all my photos and key files to @Dropbox. Hopefully, Dropbox handles voluminous data better.

nancy (@veilofbeing) reportedhe said it was a problem with dropbox not syncing right away but ever since i asked him to email me with the mail, the mail suddenly appears in the folder right away lol
-
Bocamax (@Bocamax1) reportedI want Grok to win. But it's useless about 90% of the time I try to use it as a free user. Dropbox got rich by offering limited free access. Gemini works 100% of the time. OpenAI works most of the time. Anthropic works most of the time. Cleary xAI is in fiscal trouble.

Atish (@AtishhAmte) reported@balyberdin_dev I was facing an issue with my clients with file chaos Tried everything from drive to dropbox, WhatsApp, email but nothing helped there So I listed my problem and derived solution around it

Andreas (@abrkn) reported@Dropbox Dropbox paper logs me out every single day starting a few weeks ago. Login method is passkey. Please fix

Zach Roseman (@zachrose51) reported@SamMillerWright Alright - found some of your customers: Goldman Sachs, Spotify, Chase, Twitter, Dropbox, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Uber, Salesforce and Apple. Sound right? Going to use these to track down real prospects at your dream customers and map intro paths to them

Jim Jensen (@jensenje) reported@WindowsCentral ZeroDrive has always been buggy! Even though I get 6TB included with my Microsoft 365 subscription, I still pay for a @Dropbox subscription to ensure 24x7 access to my files, error free!

Robert DC🛸🦾 (@RDecrypto) reported5/ Cursor turned down SpaceX's $60B offer. Now valued at $50B. 2 years ago: an open-source side project. Today: worth more than Dropbox + Slack + Pinterest combined. AI dev tools: biggest opportunity or biggest bubble in tech? What did I miss this week? 👇
