It seems like DropBox is 100% a useless service. Going back over 5 years, DropBox staff seems to repeat "OuR engineers are looking into it :-D" which seems transparently like a lie. Either that or they have the MOST INCOMPETENT DEVELOPMENT TEAM I've ever encountered with a modern service. I came here today after frustrations with GoogleDrive (which still exist), but at least GoogleDrive allows you to search file names. Good God. 

Here are bullet point suggestions, since DropBox seems to be pretty incompetent and I'm not sure they have great reading comprehension/critical thinking skills:

  • BASIC FUNCTIONALITY IS BROKEN
  • YOUR STAFF RESPONSES MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE BY PRETENDING THERE'S A FIX.
  • YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT OF A COMPANY.
  • DO BETTER OR BE NOTHING.
