Dropbox has deliberately deleted ALL of the files I've trusted to them. Simply part of my life if trusted to these company and they erased it, without asking for permission or sending a note for me to recover it within 30 days. Now when I went to check my box, it was empty and they say there's nothing they can do. Completely unacceptable.
I love the "feel" of the site, the way they have designed it. It is very intuitive, approachable, and comfortable. I use DropBox every single day. I keep some of my important files there, in addition to my back-up hard drive. I learned the hard way that your backup hard drive can fail, and then what? Storage on the cloud is much safer. It's also great, because I have several computers, between work, home, and my iPhone. Dropbox lets me have all my files easily accessible from any computer. I recommend DropBox.
Dropbox needs to really improve on their user functionality. On my Iphone it chooses to freeze up a lot. Also, it lags a lot when you want to delete and add stuff. I actually have tried Box and the two are pretty similar, but box offers more storage for less money.
I accidentally deleted a year's worth of photos on Dropbox that I had deleted on my computer. I didn't realise until after 30 days and despite being a Pro user at $100 per year, I need to pay an extra $50 to recover the files with Extended Version History. Not happy. I will cancel my Dropbox account.
By far the worst customer support. I have to keep repeating myself as they had me off to yet another rep. The question is simple: I have deleted all devices and changed the password, why do the devices automatically login without asking for the new password. Its been 4 weeks and no one can answer my questions.
Beware of their scam for the business license. They got me for $1000 and I'm just a home user. We paid to back up our photos for $9 and next thing I know hey charged $1000 to our credit card. I called 18 days later once I saw our statement and they said not refunds. I have no idea how this happened.
Stay away from Dropbox! I have been unable to downgrade or even cancel by "free" trial. Even after trying to contact the company through phone and live chat. They tried to charge me $700.00 the only way I was able to fix it was through declaring it fraudulent through my bank. Do not purchase this company needs to learn how to actually provide service.
Very disappointed in their service. They marked a dispute as "solved" and closed it even though they did not solve my problem. They have refused to offer a refund for service that was NEVER USED. I would definitely not recommend them due to these poor business practices.
This company is a joke. I have been trying to cancel since march. No response back. Going to cancel my credit card to get the charges to stop. Got to love a tech company that hides behind their bots.
Don't use Dropbox, use your cloud options for secure file transfers.
Good most of the time until you have issues and then it is a hassle getting a response from them. I would suggest that this is a great option for the person that has a business as they seem to reply to all of my friends business questions on her account.
Answer: TRUE THEY SCAMMED ME TOO!
Answer: SCAMMERS!
Answer: I hope there is a class action suit and I will join it.
Answer: Dropbox customer support will soft talk you into thinking they are helping to put a stop to their fraudulent charges, but in the end they actually do nothing. I don't believe they have an in-house system to stop credit card charges. There are many crooked companies that do business this same way as well. How many people don't read their credit card statement in full every month? And the dropbox folks rake in the fraudulent charges people don't catch. Call them, and they say "we're sorry" it won't happen again. I went through that three times and finally had to re-issue my card with a new number. Shown is a canned text statement below sent to people with billing problems: >"I will need all of the following information for security reasons and to locate the charge to assist you:"< > Card type First six digits of the card Last four digits of the card Full name on the credit card charged Date of charge Amount charged Billing postal code< "Dear Dropbox, If I spent the same amount of time, it takes to cancel a CC looking at the thousands of negative online reviews before I bought Dropbox I would be well ahead of the game. I added my negative review of dropbox to the many already online after I changed the CC number on my Visa, of course. And no, I will not give you any more cc numbers or names. Dropbox has a worldwide reputation of continuous charges once they get your number. Did you think I just fell off the turnip truck? LOL Goodbye Forever,"
Answer: I was unsuccessful as well. I ended up disputing the charge with my credit card. It is still being investigated. My wife was successful in getting a refund on a new account that she never used, within 7 days of paying. She is the only one I know of that has done that successfully.
