Is Dropbox down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Dropbox right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Dropbox continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are website / app down, can't log in, files won't sync, upload failing, downloads failing and sharing links broken. Those are the options the report button offers for Dropbox, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Dropbox specifically, the website, the desktop client and the sync engine are separate, and sync stalls on a single problem file: one that is locked, too large, or named something the operating system rejects. The site can show a file that has not reached your machine at all. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Dropbox, upload a small test file through the website. That succeeding while the desktop client stays stuck points at the client or one specific file rather than Dropbox, and the client's sync status usually names the file it is refusing. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Dropbox's side. Specifically: do not move or delete local files to force a resync. Dropbox reads that as an intentional deletion and propagates it to your other devices, turning a sync delay into real data loss. Pausing sync and waiting is safe. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Dropbox publishes a machine-readable status feed, so our first check reads it directly and reports what Dropbox itself says. If that feed is unreachable we fall back to a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP ping, then reports from visitors. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at status.dropbox.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is Dropbox's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Dropbox or dropbox.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Dropbox's own support, not us.
