Anyone else suffering at present please?
I enter user name and password but - nothing, rien, nada, zilch

I'm logged in already and no issues here? Are you using a browser or the client program? have you restarted the device (laptop or whatever) and have you tried a different device?

Managed to get in today but it still took a long time. I'm surprised it didn't time out.
Thanks anyway.

I had problems a few days ago but it seems to be back to normal now. No idea what caused the slow down especially for synchronizing.

Dropbox are changing they way they store your data, cold data .. ie stuff you don't access very often is being stored in a different way. So there are some moves going on behind the scenes, this might be the cause of your sync slowdowns at the moment.

Ta.
I had to go through the rigmarole of identifying all boxes with bicycles in them and then all boxes with road crossings etc today
