    Hi everyone,

     

    We're testing out some changes in v182 (currently in beta) that should hopefully help with this. Let us know if you continue to run into problems.

     

    Thanks

Today I realised how huge and well known this problem is. For some reason, my PC stopped behaving properly this morning. So I thought to use one of the many recovery points I had and that's when I discovered the 0x80070780 error. I'm stuck at the moment, I really don't know how to move forward.

It's may and dropbox still prevents system restore. This is a very obnoxious problem at least. I am using Dropbox for 10 years, don't make me want to change to something else. System restore is a viable way to recover your PC after an error.

    Same thing happened here. 😞 Time to look elsewhere. I'll be moving my company away from Dropbox as well.

    Sadly, Dropbox doesn't give a **bleep** about you or your business.
