That's a real shame, but it leaves our practice with no option, DropBox is no longer suitable for our needs. We'll be cancelling a large number of Business subscriptions and hoping that we can find an alternative way of working. It's really quite astounding how something can go from being the perfect solution, to useless, so quickly.

    I'm going to have to find an alternative way to work with clients, currently my clients are paying for dropbox to work with us collaboratively. Multiple clients, what a mad situation.

        Hey BJRo and Andrew Parker, sorry to see you're having trouble with this. 

         

        Did you manage to try the advanced reinstall steps, to see if they help?
