Dropbox has stolen my files and my money: I can't access my files because I no longer have access to my old email account, yet I can prove that the account belongs to me and I have proof of payment and proof that I did indeed own the email I used to set up the account.
The desktop app is intrusive, doesn't remember storage settings, and never works correctly especially when dealing with large amounts of footage like I do. Dropbox doesn't work correctly in browser either and often just completely leaves out certain files when downloading folders.
desktop app for mac is awful, it makes your machine slow and it updates your database every time you login
Everything. There is no one to contact at Dropbox who returns messages. I can't reach anyone to even try to fix this and the claim that privacy laws prevent their doing so are lies. Dropbox absolutely deleted my files and I absolutely did not.
I own a video production company. I was suspended from my account because my clients were sharing their links too many times internally and exceeded the dropbox bandwidth limitations that I was unaware of and is unclear in the agreement I have with Dropbox. Now, none of my clients can access the content that I create for them. I work with substantial non-profit companies that fund cancer research in Boston, and now they are unable to access the content that helps raise money to help fight cancer because Dropbox will not help me. I am trying to pay Dropbox more money to open my account back up, and they said that I'll still be suspended even after I upgrade my account with them. I have never in my life felt like I have been taken more advantage of.
WTF? Did anyone else see that @dropbox suddenly changed there service? Apparently free tier is suddenly max of 3 devices or pay 130$ a year. For me that means unlinking 10+ devices. Doesn't get me any more drive space due to sending out invites in the past. This is stupid.
It doesn't work, and customer support is nonexistent. Not even available for a price.
I've been using Dropbox for over 6 years on a paid/upgraded subscription. In the last 3 months Dropbox has twice suspended my account for 24 hours without warning. In fact they don't even give a specific reason why. Their chat rep sent me a link on ?possible? reasons. None of which I felt were violated. Here?s 3 reasons why Dropbox is losing my business:
1 - unable to specifically tell me why my account was banned
2 - Dropbox will suspend your account if someone else shares your link with too many other people. Wait - what? That is completely out of my control. Why wouldn't Dropbox just disable the link that is causing the issue? Instead they shutdown my entire account with no specific reason why? Horrible policy.
3 - Customer service takes hours or days to respond. During my first issue their communications were so slow that the 24 hour ban lifted itself resulting in me just giving up on a resolution. And as I write this I'm now waiting over 2 hours for a response. Meanwhile my customers are calling asking for their files.
Vague - Bad Policy - Bad customer service. I'm hoping that by writing a public review will inspire some change at HQ. Because one knows you can?t get through to customer service.
You need all-in-one platform to create, collaborate, control, obtain approvals and eSign docs/contracts. Dropbox even with other tools does not offer that.
No more glitches, lost files or starting all over again. We have worked very hard to make DocuX robust and easy and intuitive at the same time.
Dropbox plans + add-ons are prohibitively expensive. Their so-called unlimited plans do have hidden limits. DocuX plans are fair, transparent and truly unlimited.
Say goodbye to documents scattered across devices, tools, and users. With DocuX, every document is a reliable, single source of truth.
Move all collaboration and reviews out of mailbox and scattered tools onto the doc. With DocuX, 100% of the internal and external collaboration happens on-the-doc.
Automates all the noise that passes for work. Docs are segregated, prioritized, sorted, and controlled for you. It is your new-age Virtual Assistant.
