who ever suggested dropbox.com SUCKS!!!

#15814650 - 02/15/12 05:41 PM (14 years, 6 months ago)

i went to dropbox.com, signed up for an account with the 50 gig space, saved all my important files including pictures from over 5 years!!!! then made sure everything was there, and it was, then installed a fresh OS on the computer.

i went back to get all my shit off the site and start organizing when i noticed none of the saved folders have shit in them!!! all my picture files are there. same names and all, but theres nothing in the folders! same for the music. all my music is there, but the folders are empty!!!

what the fuck! i lost all my pictures...

So you've never tried DropBox before and your first test was with all your important files from over five years? You didn't even make sure everything saved alright BEFORE you wiped your hard drive?

I mean, I'm pretty terrible with computers, but wow. Wow.

I'm betting you didn't wait for the files to upload fully. You were trying to upload several gigs of stuff, of most people's internet connection you realize that would take several days if not a couple weeks right?

Usually the folders get uploaded first, then the files. I think Pwn might be right here.

Because you were fetching them from your local machine.... It takes a long time to upload.

Yes, Immediately stop using it. Use a different computer to figure out how you are going to recover what is left.

Tell me your internet speed (upload), and the amount of data you're trying to upload, and I'll tell you exactly how long it should take.

If you don't know how to answer those questions, then you have absolutely no right to be making making any statement about how long it would or wouldn't take.

Are you sure your UPLOAD speed is 10Mbit? That sounds pretty fast...

Maybe I'm just horribly jaded due to having the worst telecom offerings of the developed world.

oh boy that's really a pathetic state, I had the same issue with Dropbox. I lost all my data the same way and was never able to get them back. The only thing I had to do was change the product.
Recently, our service provider came up with a similar solution called SyncBlaze, it seems to be impressive and have some additional features that are beneficial.

Just buy 1 TB of external HD space for $80 and be done with the shenanigans.
