Dropbox Experiencing Syncing Issues On The Web And Desktop, But Your Files Are Safe

If you’re an avid Dropbox user, then you have probably figured out that the site and service aren’t working properly right now. A lot of tech professionals use the service to share files with distributed teams. It’s a lifesaver when you aren’t sitting right next to your colleague. Yes, 100 percent up-time is probably impossible, but once a few people start noticing a service disruption like this, and the company discusses it, then there is a discussion to be had. The company has tweeted about the issue, which has been going on for the last hour: In a follow-up, the company says that its team is working on the issue: This causes concern for those who aren’t fully trusting all of their filesharing in the “cloud” yet, because when something goes down, like Dropbox has, accessing your files is impossible. Basically, you’re relegated to emailing your co-workers and friends for an attachment of the file that you need, just like the old days. I was personally not able to log into the service on my desktop client. It’s nice that the company is keeping everyone updated on what’s going on, as the first fear that you have when a service like this goes down is the safety of your files. We’ve reached out to the company for further comment and will update you as we learn more. Frustrated developers are starting to tweet about it, too: These are the same reactions we see whenever Gmail goes down, because people rely on the service heavily to do their jobs and communicate with the rest of the world. Even if an email service goes down for five minutes, there will be people who are affected. Where’s your cloud now? [Photo credit: Flickr]
