Is Dropbox down today?
It was working fine and now my homepage won't load. Every time I go to click into the file it keeps saying, "something is wrong" and not opening/
Not good when I have a dissertation due next week!!!
Thanks all for the reports and feedback. We should be back online now.
@Manuel - is your computer offline or Dropbox only? Is it accessible from another network? 3g/4g on your mobile device for instance?

inaccessible for me too. ugh.
same error. cant open any files.
I have two computers with dropbox, one was in sleep mode and one properly shut down. The computer that was in sleep mode appears to be connected to dropbox correctly, but the machine that was shutdown cannot start dropbox.
Annoyingly since there was no mention of an outage on the official twitter and facebook accounts I initially assumed the problem was at my end so decided to uninstall and reinstall the client. Now I can't even download it to put it back on.
John G. You're absolutely right. But after recently acquiring the MS Office 365 software, I was introduced to another cloud service that can be accessed through any browser, through any app across multiple platforms (I own an iPhone 6 Plus) and it's called OneDrive. No, I am not an MS employee trying to push an advertisement in a Dropbox forum. I am just telling other users that there are other options out there, and I have been successful with this other option.
But to your point, external/portable hard drives, and even large flash drives which are now much more cost effective (example, PNY's 256gb flash drive for $80 on Amazon) are definitely something someone should always have for these "just in case". NEVER just have your stuff in the clouds. Hard drives may fail, flash drives may break, but Clouds can also blow away in the wind just as easy (sorry, too easy to ignore saying this :) ).
Some folks should just shut the hell up.Nobody asked for your seminar on where and how to store photos.Gee thanks....i've never heard of a removable hard drive before.
Dropbox, say something about this error 500 NOW!!!!!
All the user doesn't know what's going on there.
That's really really disappointing......
erreur 500 je ne peux pas ouvrir mes fichiers et mon ordinateur n'est plus associé au compte
Bei mir wird auch Error 500 angezeigt.
Nichts geht mehr.
