Questions

Is Dropbox down right now?

Dropbox’s official status page says: All Systems Operational. This page checks it again when you load it, at most every 5 minutes.

When was Dropbox last down?

The most recent incident Dropbox reported was “Some customers are unable to access certain website routes and features.”, 40 days ago (2026-09-09 21:36 UTC). None of its incidents in the last 90 days were a full outage.

Which parts of Dropbox are tracked here?

Dropbox reports 12 components on its status page, including Website, Desktop Application, Mobile Application, API, Paper. Each is checked again whenever this page refreshes.

What should I do if Dropbox is down?

Keep working from local or offline copies where you can, and hold off on large imports or sync jobs until it is back.

dropbox.com won't load — is my desktop sync still running?

Usually yes — Website, Desktop Application, Mobile Application and the API are separate components. Local files keep syncing during a web outage; Paper, Passwords and DocSend are separate again.

API integration fails but the app syncs fine?

The API is its own component — third-party integrations can fail while first-party sync clients keep working. Check the API row before debugging your code.

How do I tell if Dropbox is down for everyone or only for me?

If the status above is operational but Dropbox still fails for you, the cause is probably on your side: try another network, clear the cache, or check your own connection. If it shows a degradation or an outage, others are affected too.

How can I get alerted when my own site goes down?

OpenUptime checks your site every minute and sends an alert to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook the moment it stops responding. It is open source and free to start.
