I was sent an anonymous link a while back and just opened it and it contains very explicit illegal pornography.
remove it immediately
link:
*removed for obvious reasons*
I have reported this to Dropbox.
Just for future ref. it is NOT a clever idea reposting it on a public forum.
Send it to abuse@dropbox.com
The link is still active. How long for dropbox to remove it and block the user who shared it
We dont know I'm afraid - none of us work for Dropbox I'm afraid.
Can you report the link to dropbox? you seem to know more of how it works. its just sick that this link is out
I cant - I dont have a copy. However as Richard has already said he has reported it already.
Do you mind if I send it to you so you can report it as well. I think the more people report it the quicker dropbox acts.
It would be best if you didn't. You would be sharing the inappropriate content with others. If you haven't already, send it to abuse@dropbox.com. You could also try opening a ticket with Support for faster action.
Yes I do mind. There is nothing more I can do than Richard has done I'm afraid. It isnt based upon volume of referrals as they dont know what we are reporting. Richard has sent it directly to Dropbox staff, which is what I'd also have to do.
It will be dealt with as soon as possible - for all we know the police may have asked that its left live so they can track who is tracing it.
My advice is to simply stop clicking on it if its distressing and trust it will be dealt with as soon as possible. Also remember it is logged every time you do access it so you dont want to end up in any trouble yourself.
Ok, I just hope they block out this user and this link asap
Same
Thank you for reporting it though!
Hey, I got an extremely illegal link containing files like the ones you have stated. How do I report this link or get it taken down?
By following the instructions already stated in this thread. Forward it to abuse@dropbox.com.
