Inconsistencies regarding my available space and feedback about Dropbox
Sharing my experience with Dropbox: As a user on the free plan, I've encountered some ongoing issues that have made it difficult for me to consider upgrading. Every time I open my computer, Dropbox pops up and asks me to join again, which can be frustrating. Moreover, there has been a discrepancy between the storage space indicated on my computer (102 GB) and what is actually available for upload on my phone (23 GB). This inconsistency has left me feeling like they are playing games with their users. I believe many of you can relate to similar experiences with various apps that seem more focused on profit rather than genuinely caring about their users. For me, it's crucial to have a reliable service that I can count on, especially when it comes to storing important files. Unfortunately, until I can trust that Dropbox will stop misleading me and provide a consistent service, I am not inclined to pay their monthly fee. Additionally, I currently have an urgent need to back up my entire computer, but I've encountered a roadblock. The upload button that should allow for immediate file transfers is grayed out, preventing me from taking the necessary steps to safeguard my data. This lack of functionality further reinforces my decision to refrain from considering their monthly fee. Thank you for taking the time to hear my frustrations. If you've had similar experiences or have recommendations for alternative cloud storage solutions, I would appreciate hearing from you! PS I know this may seems petty, but trust me, I have a very good reason I need to have this space available to me tonight, like right now. I I am not going to get into the reason why, that is irrelevant. What is relevant is that if a company claims to have your back, but then, in reality, they do not,, then that’s something I feel the public needs to know about. I don’t just casually, flippantly, get on app support pages and make complaints like this because I’m bored, and I have nothing else to do. This is a major inconvenience to me, and I will just say this, dropbox has completely failed me tonight.
Error space limit reached but there's still space available
I like to use dropbox to back up my photos from my iPhone. I have a folder storage limit of 5.25 GB. Recently it's failed to upload photos if the amount exceeded 3 or 4 GB. Made sense at first, getting close to that 5.25 limit. But now it won't import even small numbers of photos (1GB or less) , I get error messages saying "Importing these photos would fill up all your Dropbox space. Failed to import..." and direct me to upgrade and get more space, but I currently only use 81.5 MB out of that 5.25 GB limit. I've tried restarting my computer, restarting dropbox, nothing has fixed it. Any suggestions?
