Dropbox at work: The proxy server is refusing connections
They're just blocking the whole domain.
(Edit for those of you who think I'm just trolling for effect. I work at a LARGE fortune 500 (think 250,000 people) and http://www.dropbox.com/ http://www.dropbox.com/ is blocked at the proxy. If your company is going to offer business services, to, hum, businesses, one should insure that one should be accessible from businesses, no?)
- klapinat0r 13y agoOkay, I'll take the bait: Yes, companies should be able to use the product. How is that at all related to your point? Your company blocks the domain, how is that in Dropbox's control? Do you shut off your router and whine about how you should be able to use GitHub if they plan to make money?
- fragmede 13y agoYou do understand that it's the IT department at the Fortune 500 company thats doing the blocking, right? Dropbox has no control over your IT department, any more than you'd have control over my wireless internet.
