Is Dropbox down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached Dropbox successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 495 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 488 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 473 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 480 ms |
Based on 3,296 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.
What can be affected on Dropbox?

- Web appCompare the web app with the mobile app — they can fail separately
- Mobile appForce-close and reopen the app, then retry on mobile data
This list shows which parts can fail on their own. It does not mean any of them is failing right now — the live status above is the only claim we make about the current state.

About Dropbox
Dropbox is a cloud storage platform used for file synchronization, collaborative document editing via Dropbox Paper, and large-scale data backup. It provides a desktop client and mobile app that keep local folders in sync with remote servers for team file sharing. Technical failures generally impact the background syncing process, file link generation, or the web interface's preview functionality. This Rimetry page exists to monitor Dropbox availability and response latencies, helping users determine if their file transfer issues are caused by central server instability.
Problems with Dropbox can affect login & authentication, file sharing, sync independently.
Dropbox (dropbox.com) is a productivity service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now Dropbox is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 241 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to dropbox.com are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like Dropbox include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.

What is Dropbox?
File storage
Dropbox is part of our Productivity category. You can also review current trending outages across the internet.
Common issues
- · Documents won't load or save
- · Sync conflicts across devices
- · Sharing and permission errors
- · Login or SSO failures
Similar patterns often surface across other productivity providers — cross-check against the global outage map.
Troubleshooting
- · Test signing in from a private browser window or another device
- · Test a shared link in a private window to rule out permissions
- · Sign out and back in on one device to force a resync
- · Compare the web app with the mobile app — they can fail separately
- · Check whether your edits are saved locally before reloading
- · Open the same document in a private window to rule out extensions
- · Sign out of other accounts — multi-account sessions cause permission errors
- · Compare desktop app behaviour with the web version
- · Verify the share link's permissions if others can't open it
- · Check Dropbox's official social channels
