How to send a complaint about customer service?
Hello everyone. Long story short, I've had three support tickets without a solution marked as solved. The last time, I explicitly requested that my message be turned into a complaint about the "suppo...

Hi Megan, thanks for your reply.
The tickets are:
- Ticket #15209279: DB: Individual file not syncing
- Ticket #15346991: DB: Reopening ticket
- Ticket #15477556: DB: Unresolved issues marked as "solved" twice
In sum, I had a syncing issue, and it was marked as solved without being solved (and after supposedly being escalated, after a waste of time with the first line of "technical" support). I started another ticket, and AGAIN, it was marked as solved without a solution.
I started another ticket only to complain about the first two, and guess what...it was marked as solved. Not even an apology. Dropbox is a disgrace, especially compared to what it was years ago.
There are technical reasons why it is not so simple for me to move to a different service, and it would cost me a lot of time. But frankly, the company is taking advantage of that. I feel absolutely robbed and treated disrespectfully. Simply ignoring repeated requests and marking them as solved?! Absolutely disregarding an explicit complaint about technical support? Not even acceptable for a free service, let alone for a loyal customer since your beginnings.
- Megan3 years agoDropbox StaffThank you for all the info Daniel50!
I did some digging, and I was able to create a brand new ticket number on my end for you.
I have re-escalated to our specialized team, so you can continue working with them.
Don't forget to reply back to them as soon as possible, before your ticket closes due to inactivity.
If you need anything else, I'm here.- Daniel503 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Thank you, let's see if I get a meaningful answer this time.
Anyway, my original question is still unanswered, is there an official way to send a complaint? Apparently not.

Dear Megan,
This seems like a bad joke. You opened a new ticket where I was contacted by a "senior specialist on the Advanced Support team".
After a message on Friday saying "Rest assured we'll get to the bottom of the cause of this problem", the ticket was closed on Monday morning and marked as solved, before I even answered.
I received an email yesterday (Sunday) saying "If we don’t hear from you in the next few days, your support request will be closed. You can reopen it at any time."
Am I supposed to spend my weekend answering belated messages from Dropbox Support? And if I don't, the ticket is marked as solved so that someone's metrics look good?
Whoever is behind the working and the incentives of Dropbox technical support, congratulations for killing Dropbox. Changes in technical support are even worse than the new "features" of the Dropbox app, and that is difficult to achieve.
I don't have time to read the terms and conditions, but I feel I am being robbed. As soon as I can solve the technical issues that force me to stay with Dropbox, I am migrating away.
