The city I live in received a direct hit from Hurricane(s) Laura and Delta back-to-back in Aug. 2020. Laura was a Category 4 with sustained winds of 175mph. Delta dropped 17 inches of rain in 4 hours. The damage to my home and the City was extensive. I was shocked and devasted by the damage because I had just retired as the result of a complex hip fracture. I was on crutches and dealing with severe pain. I had subscribed to the Dropbox Premium version a few months before the storms. After the storm I was unable to afford the monthly fees because the debris cleanup and living expenses in the aftermath of the storm were stretching my wallet to the extreme. I called DROPBOX Support and explained my situation and indicated I needed to end the subscription. The SUPPORT TEAM was very nice and supportive. They downgraded me to the free version. I remember that experience with gratitude. And I thank the Dropbox folks for their help. The app. is great. I love how it integrates with my other apps for all kinds of content. It is very useful for creators like myself.

I use Dropbox to store all my files I do not want to loose. I have photos, genealogy, health files, expenses, receipts, contracts, and so much more. Unfortunately, I find myself fighting with the program all the time. When upgrades are made, I find there is a glitch of some sort. Once I was notified I needed to backup my files. In the process of doing this, I lost them all. 3 years worth of data! There were no directions for backing up. There was no access on how to recover from old backups anywhere. These things should be clearly outlined in a manual, if there is one. The other thing I hate is that if you transfer files in or out of Dropbox, you have to do it one file at a time. You can’t transfer multiple files or a folder of files to Dropbox. Also you can no longer get to things like print or move a file to editing program (Word) without first clicking on “share” to find those options. Why the need to double click for these options? Other options are available with a single click but I don’t use those things. Ok, I have more but will stop now. I do like the program and still use it. Not so much on my phone due to the above complaints. Just wanted to let others know what life is like using the program.

First of all, I am blind, but very good with computers. At least I thought I was. I’m not trying to get sympathy. I’m just frustrated with all of this. I’m I am so frustrated with Dropbox. I’m gonna try to get my stuff out and do something out to back my files up. I had to upgrade professional so I can try to speak to somebody but again they said you can’t talk to nobody until you get enterprise. They added security to my dropbox that I didn’t ask for. I should be the one to adjust the security on my own folder I pay enough for it. Now I get a two-step verification on the phone that never existed and an email that is inaccessible and I can’t get nobody at Dropbox to help. I have 3 TB of information that I have saved up over 30 years and now I can’t access it so I’m trying to go through back doors. And I’m so upset with Dropbox I’ve done feedback, tickets and everything dropbox. You can go stick it. I’m so fed up with you. This is not a way to run a company. it appears I’m not the only one that feels this way. I’ve been to several message boards to try to find help to get my stuff back but I can’t so I guess I’ll just wipe the sleep clean and go somewhere else and just live on an island. Thanks a lot Dropbox.
