Its been a disaster for everyone, in more ways than one. It’s now keeping all computers from entering sleep mode because each laptop is constantly trying to sync thousands of files.

Her laptop ran so hot and wouldn’t sleep that it baked the battery so bad the computer no longer sat flat on the desk. IT sent a new battery and due to Covid it was going to weeks if not months for them to swap them. I said to hell with it and made the swap last night. Happy I did, the battery had doubled in thickness and surely must have been a fire hazard.

Dropbox has been a complete disaster for the thousands of employees she works with, although for individual use I’ve never had a problem with it.
