Dropbox is now too hard to use.

Congratulations Dropbox, You have lost sight of your core value added, and ruined your offering. You have layered so much unwanted additional functionality on top of simple file sharing, the the in...

For weeks I have been trying to link my phone to my laptop - I follow all the instructions and onscreen prompts with no success. There's nobody to talk to, there's no troubleshooting nothing and now this. Time consuming, inaccessible, obscure and instead of being able to go to my photos easily and quickly as I could before there's  just a multiplicity of offers to do things I don't want to do, and frankly I can't believe anybody in their right minds would want to do either.

 

I suspect this update has been devised by Dominic Cummings and his henchmen at Westminster - it's certainly as bad as anything the Tories have managed to do so far. Every programme seems to be "improved" to the point where the developers seem to have forgotten what the point of it was and all they want to do is show how clever they are and how they can make things so complicated that only they can understand how to do it

Hi Crispinhj

 

Dropbox is a USA based company so I doubt that the UK politicians would have had anything to do with the recent updates. :-)

 

Jokes aside. Let's try to get it working for you. What type of phone do you have (Apple or Android) and what errors do you get? Please paste a screenprint of the errors you get on here, without any personal identifiable information. 

 

Looking forward to try to help you!

 

Regards

    Hi Casper


    I hope you're keeping safe and well. Yes I was only joking too. I'm sure the people who run Dropbox are brighter than the bunch of idiots we've got as a government here

     

    Sorry to be slow replying to this I have only just seen it. I would very much appreciate some help. I have an Apple phone which is up to date. My MacBook Pro laptop is rather old (manufactured 2009) and I cannot update it past OS X 10.10.5, and I have wondered if that is the problem. When you ask for messages I don't get anything. I follow the instructions, get the phone pointed at the pattern of dots on the laptop's screen and that's it - nothing more happens

    Best wishes
