Q: is dropbox banned in china?
i'm trying to use it and i get nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11 years 4 weeks ago in Web & Technology - China
yes . since the day it started service i think . as well as Google drive . however Microsoft cloud storage service named skydrive works very well . that's my recommendation.

Very sorry from reading other posts I think I made it wrong. I'm sorry I didn't check it before answering this. Actually I never checked since I heard it was blocked immediately. The Great Firewall tightens and loosens from time to time.
If you download it outside of the mainland then it will work fine...like most VPN's.
My company tried to get me to download and join 2 years ago when I was here it it was cock blocked like so much other random shit here.
I downloaded it after I was back home and now it works like a charm here...even without the VPN.
nop
mine works...and i downloaded it within the walls...
Seems fine now. I can access the web site and the desktop service works as well as the android app.
I think generally the web site has not been accessible, but the client has always worked for me, so once set up there are no problems
It's not banned. You can also use 115 online storage (115 网盘) .
I use it pretty frequently (through OS X if that matters). I have a VPN, but I don't need to turn it on to use it. I don't think it's banned, or maybe it's "selectively" banned depending on your location.
Its working well here...I have dropbox on my phone, office PC and home laptop..There is no problem what so ever..Can you install it? or you are having problem in downloading the software? PM me if you need the exe
Strange ! I use all mentioned sites above without VPN and they work !
Hi, you can use dropbox without a VPN, but you need to modify the default IP addresses. You only need to change the following file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS
Open the file in a text editor and add these lines at the end:
# Dropbox
174.36.30.73 www.dropbox.com
174.36.30.71 www.dropbox.com
hmmm,,, I'm not much of a computer geek, but it works for me. I think I just use the app though, not the website. I don't even use it much though. It came loaded on my Samsung Note II purchased in HK, but seems to work fine in Guangdong.
(no vpn)
the problem was my computer. my other computer is able to pull up the website
