I live in China as an expat (from the US). It's not really clear to me what the political/social motivations are for blocking Dropbox. Maybe Dropbox is going to merge with Facetwit; that's blocked here too but dropping Dropbox is something new.
- ErrantX 16y agoAt a guess; dropbox lets you share public files; both privately syncing them with others or presenting them publicly. All of which is non-indexed and not easily tracked. Im guessing it's become a distribution method for information they are not keen on (or they feel it will be). In a sense it was only a matter of time :(
- joshhart 16y agoDo they block P2P as well? I was under the impression piracy through bittorrent was pretty rampant.
- zellux 16y agoI guess it is blocked because Dropbox was used to share software like GAppProxy/MyEntunnel/Puff, which can be used to surf across the GFW.
