You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Will dropbox be blocked in Russia?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find any official news/statements dropbox accessibility from Russia, maybe you can share some links
This won't be a sanction against Russian aggression. This is a boycott about only people who can change something.
This will restrict human rights organizations in Russia help people both in Russia and in Ukraine.
I am Russian and I am not opposing economic sanctions, even though my family has nothing to eat.
But boycotting fighters with the regime by limiting instruments, and then ask why Russians don't do anything?
Good day - I am still alive. Today I woke up at 6 AM because of loud boom. The 14 floor building was targeted with russian bomb or rocket while people were sleeping there, which is 10 mins walk from my house.
The advice: every time you hear the story about "good russians" - read the history of Ukraine book. Since the Golden Horde founded this s**t it destroys everything around them.
Of course you still have a chance to make the period of reparations and contributions shorter. The nation of slaves could make only famine revolutions (or as we call "hamburger revolution"). So, yes every business which does not want to go together with russian warship should stop any operation there. And Yes, the "special financial operation" (we do not call it sanctions) should be continued and become harder to stop destroying of Ukrainian cities and killing of Ukrainian people.
Still waiting the Dropbox to stop any work at the territory of aggressor.
Sorry to break the news to you, but the current government of Ukraine is the aggressor and started all of this. Why should Russia be banned and lose access to their data security because of instability that has been going for literally hundreds of years.
I'm Ukrainian Jew with Russian family. The same people the West is now supporting killed my family 100 years ago, and again in 2014. War is terrible, but you can't just make a one sided case for things. There wouldn't be a war if the USA had leadership. This is 100% on the US. Should we ban people here in the US too?
Let's all just get along and leave politics for the voting booth. Putin was fairly elected but was gradually dropping off in support until this happened. Sanctions just will make Russian compete.
Finally, a couple of the most influential engineers at Dropbox were Ukrainian Jews too. They (hopefully) know that 'Slava Ucraini' is hate speech and what they say when Jews and other minorities are murdered by the cossacks. Unless you know who Petliura, Bandera, Khelministky, and how they tie into current day nationalist beliefs, then you have no business making a political argument about this.
War crimes? Yea, they are coming from both sides. Let's stop this, but trying to cancel people is just going to make Dropbox a target for an attack. Dropbox should play zero role in this. If they are ordered to sanction Russia from internal sanctions, they should divest, sell off, and fight tooth and nail to protect people's data. This is what is important for this forum, not politics.No politics here. This forum is the place to discuss Dropbox clients problems and supporting bloody regimes is a problem. And it is not only about Dropbox. Every business should cancel russia. It is the only way to stop the wild horde from east.
And do not call you Ukrainian Jew - Chai234 seems you are putin's Jew, infected with kremlin propaganda. You are still using kremlin fakes to talk about historical personalities - read history books based on facts and forget about russian mythology.
My grand grand mother buried on Babyn Yar (recently was attacked by russian rocket - the family with children died there).
My grand mother with grand father moved to Stryi (West of Ukraine) in 1943 to hide from hitler nazi and russian communists.
My relatives from St.Peterburg moved to Israel a long time ago (so they were not infected with this propaganda).
We do not call us "Ukrainian Jews" - we all are Ukrainians (does not matter what religion we have).
And Yes, as it has never been a hate speech (only in sick russian's fantasies), Glory to Ukraine, Glory to USA, Glory to EU, Glory to Israel and to all other partners. And glory to all heroes who help us to protect from russian fascism.
Technically the term Ukrainian Jew is a simplification for those unfamiliar with the land. You are not considered Ukrainian if you are Jewish from the Ukraine to a good plurality of people. This is how nationalists think. This is why saying Slava Ucraini (and Slava Rusi) should result in jail time for hate speech. Ukrainian is an ethnicity and saying such implies race.
Jewish people from Podolia are mostly Litvaks who settled during the Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth. Chassidism grew and Podolia became the center of orthodox culture in the world for about 100 years.
The Russian Empire did not necessarily treat Jewish people great either. Jews before the mass extermination by Ukrainian nationalists in 1919 were mostly pro-Western. They were relegated to a shadow economic system by the Ukrainians, and in the cities, like today, people more or less got along just fine. Some Jewish people even spoke Ukrainian then, and some of those even worked for Petliura.
However, the rebels of the Chassadim spoke Russian to rebel against strict religion. Russian was the cool kids language, and you will note on many immigration papers the children of emigres listed Russian as their primary language. Canadian immigration authorities only considered you a Ukrainian immigrant if you spoke Ukrainian as well. There were differences in settlement based on this in the diaspora. Ukrainians and Jews from the Ukraine didn't really commingle in the new country...for obvious reasons I have explained.
Why would Zelensky sign this racist law that came into effect January 16th of 2022? This was the final straw for Putin. Government officials faced prison for speaking Russian. Seems kind of odd when you know 50% of the country speaks Russian natively and they want to keep control of breakaway territories.
While I can educate you on the history of the Ukraine and the minority populations for hours, it comes down to this, banning Russia and Russians is ridiculous. Dropbox should restore access to Crimea as well. This is not because I like Putin or support the war. I oppose repressing anyone, and I will fight for a free and independent Ukraine. People in the West however need to chill out and educate themselves on what is going on, and why it is happening. This is a USA/NATO problem firstly. Ukrainian nationalists who do bad things to minorities is secondary. There are also Russian nationalists doing the same.
Everyone needs to calm down and think rationally. My business lost a lot of money because of this war. My plans to expand in Kyiv are scrapped forever. There is no way back. Nobody wishes for peace more than me. However, I will not allow misconceptions and lies to pervade regardless of who accomplishes what in this war. We all will lose, but the truth of history shall be preserved.
If you'd like more rabbinical resources or sources on information I am happy for anyone to learn more. History wouldn't have repeated if people would have valued truth instead of emotion.
Please write more! Dont stop! Take more time to text! Keep hate! Sure you have found the target of your life, im glad on you!
The company had the good sense not to shut down the servers. Everything works in Russia!
Thanks for this !
The truth is with us!
You yourself will see everything in the future!
Down with Nazism and propaganda!
