Why Dropbox is Failing

Re:Why Dropbox is Failing by EC1 on Monday August 10, 2015 @09:13AM (#10034310)

The only thing I use dropbox for is to publically store screenshots for easy sharing, and dropbox fails more than 50% of the time at that. (the "click to share public link" feature, sometimes takes upwards of 2 minutes, sometimes it's instant)

I can recommend using Imgur for storing screenshots. For Windows you can use Greenshot (http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenshot/) and for OS X you can use Mac2Imgur (https://github.com/mileswd/mac2imgur).

Uploading images is instant, the image quality is higher, embedding is actually possible, you don't need to have an account and thumbnails are automatically generated.

This has been my solution, too. It's much faster than Dropbox.

Yeah, Dropbox would be a good alternative for sharing screenshots, but it takes so incredibly long that it's pretty much unusable.
