Title: Dropbox, stahp
Post by: Science Woona on 2012 Dec 31, 06:32:19
Okay, so apparently Dropbox doesn't like popularity of ones images. So my dropbox public link sharing service got shutdown for a bit.

Thus EVERY image that I have EVER posted here from it is now a little error.
Look at my Signature! Its a BOX thats BLANK but a few words!

This is annoying me. Can anypony solve what the hay is wrong here and how to fix it??

This is what I get when I try sharing a link:
Spoiler: show

(https://dl.dropbox.com/static/images/publinks.png)
Error (509)

This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!

I kinda need this to be able to post images here and have my Tumblr up to running standards...

ok doing a little research
ill quote what one of the mods on the dropbox forums posted

It basically means you've become very popular and have, well, exceeded 20gb.
All you can do is wait the ban out (usually 3 days for a first offence).
And yes, ALL your links will be suspended until the ban is over


as to finding out what file it could be

No there isnt, sorry. Dropbox doesnt provide any bandwidth or tracking insights on files.
If you want that wrap the Dropbox URL's up in something like a bit.ly one


also I dont know if you hosted a program(if you did) in the public folder but it might be marked as malware and everything would be blocked

got everything from here https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=66247 (https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=66247)

If you need a place for your pictures, I recommend photobucket, they have a decent looking website and picture tools.

Yes, well I also use Dropbox to host some scripts that run on my Tumblr, and videos.

imgur seems to be very buggy, only half of pics I see posted on this site from there actually work.

I use photobucket, never had an issue with it
