Connection with Epson Printer just randomly stopped

In other words it appears Dropbox had a security breach that they solved by disconnecting everyone and now they are telling us "sorry and too bad, you are on your own. You fix it" NASTY!
If Dropbox had a security breach the only valid response is to invalidate related keys/tokens.
And the only way to fix our problem would then actually be on Epson/Brother side to get new keys. That´s just how this works afaik.
But we don´t know if this is the case. We only have people making assumptions.
If this would be made more transparent here, people wouldn´t be as angry.
dropbox: By now you should give us some real information. Otherwise we have to look for different solutions.
This appears on Epson Connect page :

I sent this to Dropbox and they replied refusing to accept responsibility for the issues.
Wouldn't stress. It is Drop box losing the customers not Epson. All three of my Epson's are now back on line feeding direct to Sharepoint. Just wish I had done it earlier as now have a back load of re-work thanks to Drop box. Will definitely be yelling and screaming far and wide about how Drop box has let everyone down including all the point above. Lack of accountability, transparency and action. I would just say let it ride. Eventually everyone will switch to one of the many other providers.
