Checking www.dropbox.com right now
A fresh check, started when you opened this page - each probe runs its own independent DNS, TCP, TLS and HTTP request. Anonymous runs sample the network; a signed-in account checks from more locations.
How Dropbox has behaved
Every figure here comes from HostTracker's own checks of www.dropbox.com, not from the vendor's status page.

About Dropbox outages
Written by the HostTracker monitoring team · updated from live probe data.
Dropbox is a file storage and sync service, and it actually runs as three fairly separate surfaces: the web app at dropbox.com where files are browsed and shared through a browser, the desktop sync client that runs quietly in the background keeping a local folder in sync with the cloud, and the API that third-party apps and integrations (backup tools, workflow automation) use to read and write files programmatically. These can fail independently: the website can be slow or briefly unreachable while the desktop client keeps syncing in the background, or an API incident can break third-party integrations while dropbox.com loads normally in a browser. It's also worth separating a real Dropbox-side incident from a local sync problem on one device, since a paused or conflicted sync looks identical to an outage from the user's side but isn't one.
Common causes of Dropbox downtime
Not sure whether it's Dropbox or your own connection? Read the full breakdown in our website down checker guide for a general walkthrough of diagnosing any outage, from DNS failures to expired certificates.
Sync-service incidents affecting the desktop and mobile apps that quietly stop new files from uploading or downloading while dropbox.com itself still loads normally
Web application issues at dropbox.com that block browsing and sharing files through the browser without necessarily affecting the desktop sync client
API-layer incidents that break third-party apps and integrations built on Dropbox, such as backup tools or workflow automation, while the core website and desktop app work fine
A local sync conflict or a paused sync state on one device, which looks like an outage but is specific to that machine, not to Dropbox's servers
Large file uploads or shared-link generation slowing down or failing independently of basic file browsing and account access

Questions people ask during an outage
The live probe run on this page tests www.dropbox.com from a broad sample of HostTracker's 300+-location monitoring network - many independent networks at the same moment, rather than just your own connection. If every location fails to reach it, the outage is real and affects everyone; if only a few locations fail while most load normally, the problem is local to those regions or networks rather than Dropbox being fully down. A single refresh from your own browser can never make that distinction, because it only ever tests from one vantage point on one network.
Yes. HostTracker lets you add any URL - including third-party services you depend on, not just your own website - as a monitored target, and notifies you automatically the moment it becomes unreachable. Before sending an alert, HostTracker re-verifies a failure from multiple locations in its 300+-location network, so you're notified about real, confirmed outages rather than a single location's momentary blip. The free plan checks two monitors every 30 minutes indefinitely at no cost; paid plans check as often as once a minute, with alerts available through SMS, email, voice call, and several messenger apps.
No - as of the most recent check, www.dropbox.com is responding normally to HostTracker's monitoring network, and has been up for 17h 33m. Over the last 24 hours it recorded 100.00% uptime across 0 incidents. If it is failing for you specifically, the cause is local - your network, DNS cache, or a regional route - and the live probe results above will show which locations, if any, are affected.

Not necessarily. The desktop sync client and the web application are separate systems, so it's possible for sync to be degraded or paused while the website loads and shows your files normally. It's worth checking the desktop app's own sync status icon before assuming a full outage.
It can be an API-specific incident rather than a full outage. Many third-party apps and integrations connect to Dropbox through its API, which runs separately from the website and desktop client, so an API problem can break those integrations while you can still log in and browse files normally at dropbox.com.
That's usually local, not a Dropbox-wide issue. Sync commonly pauses because of low disk space, a detected file conflict, or the app being signed out, and it's specific to that one device rather than a sign of a service-wide outage.
If the desktop sync client already downloaded your files, they remain accessible locally on that device even during a website outage, since the local copies aren't removed just because dropbox.com is unreachable. New changes won't sync until the service is back, though.
