Even better: upload an example Excel file to a file-sharing website (box.net/files, dropbox.com, onedrive.live.com, etc), and post a download link that does not require that we log in.

Note that Dropbox automatically backs up all your files. So if you delete a file, you can recover it on dropbox.com, even 6 months later.

Upload what is on that stick to a cloud based system that is not vulnerable to degradation of hardware, you can get a lot of storage for free on sites like dropbox.com, mega.nz, or icloud. You can also always make multiple backups.

Did you try logging into dropbox.com and checking there? Often the files remain online even if they are removed locallY. You have to log in with the same account you deleted Locally.

Dropbox: You absolutely NEED backups. Ideally, both physical and cloud backups, because if you only have one backup, you’re not backed up. I can’t even begin to tell you how many writers have lost days, weeks, or even entire novels worth of work because they failed to back up their work, then had their computer break or had some weird software snafu. Dropbox is my preferred cloud backup solution, because you can…

Good thought! Upload the Excel file to a file-sharing website that does not require that we log in in order to download it. Then post the download URL here. Some file-sharing websites: box.net/files; dropbox.com; onedrive.live.com; ….

Thanks for that! I also tested it. Since I did not understand the replacement of the dropbox.com with dl.dropboxusercontent.com.

It would be better if you post the link to the file that you uploaded to a file-sharing website like box.net/files, dropbox.com or onedrive.live.com.

M1 Macbook Air, create a logic project, and save in Dropbox. EVer since a few weeks, it doesn’t show up in the same Dropbox folder on my Intel iMac. The new project does show op on dropbox.com, but as a file instead of a folder.

You say you are using the Word app on an iPad but it is not clear where you are saving your documents. Could be OneDrive, could be iCloud drive, could be dropbox, etc… Whichever it is, I would suggest opening a browser, going to the website for that cloud sotrage service (office.com for onedrive, icloud.com for icloud drive, dropbox.com for dropbox) and then review the documents there. I am thinking that…

If you’re using windows, on the command prompt, you can do

Tracert dropbox.com

Or tracert 1.1.1.1

As for what’s where, I’m taking the IP addresses from that (on the later hops), and checking the global WHOIS data (whois.com for example).

To follow up on this, as of just before this post, I’m seeing normal routes and latencies again, so maybe they’ve now fixed whatever was causing it? (using my same dropbox example from earlier, the 5th hop onwards are all chicago now, instead of wichita, so I’m getting to dropbox.com in about 4ms now, instead of ~3300ms).

Now here is the thing that helped me out. Having full backups on drop box, I was able to go to my last full back up On dropbox.com and grab those files, spin up a new server. FTP those files in there, including DB, and move a site with no issues. Just dumped files made a quick db, uploaded sql cmd line or phpmyadmin. donzo.

I switched all my main accounts (Gmail, dropbox, etc) to be strictly use my Yubi key as 2FA when logging in. I tested on dropbox.com and it worked great. However, I downloaded the Dropbox iOS app and when logging in, it sends an SMS 2FA, because I assume the app doesn’t support USB Key 2FA. It feels useless that by simply using the app, my USB Key 2FA can be gotten around.

And finally a dumb question of my own. How could someone provide you the dump? Is there a free drop box that is trustworthy (I got rid of dropbox.com years ago).

Go to dropbox.com and determine how big your account is. If you’ve filled, say, 1tb, and you have 500gb on your drive, it will fill up. While you’re there, are there any new folders that weren’t there before that are taking up space?
