Dropbox client syncing and uploading services go down |
January 13, 2013
Dropbox users have been experiencing issues syncing and uploading files and creating shareable links, prompting speculation about the stability of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
According to a series of updates from the @DropboxOps Twitter account, problems began at around 11pm GMT on Thursday. At that time, the company said that the issue would be resolved within an hour, but the last update posted at around 3am stated that problems were ongoing.
"You should be able to create shareable links again. Our engineers are actively working to resolve remaining issues as quickly as possible," the company tweeted.
Some Dropbox users took to Twitter to vent their frustrations, post pictures and question whether AWS was to blame. All files uploaded to Dropbox are encrypted and stored on Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3).
