This doesn't seem to be working the way that we thought it would. It seems that we are unable to upload pictures into…

A simple picture and movie app within DropBox to organise our Gigabyte of cluttered souvenirs.
I believe this blog doesn't reflect the frustration of a big % of your users who have huge qty of pictures and videos scattered all over their DropBox. I believe those users have no idea of the existence of this blog, its survey and voting system. These are boomers and gen Xers who don't use Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok or…

Slow upload speed (but only to Dropbox). Dropbox is now unusable
I've begun to experience this recently: 1: Uploads to dropbox are (as of about one week ago) consistently around 0.14 Mbps. This happens through desktop or web interface. For perspective, that's a 300 baud modem from 1984 kind of speed. It renders me unable to work using dropbox. 2: Speed tests of the line show consistent…
