Dropbox not syncing?

I've made a few file changes in Dropbox that the client is happily picking up but for some reason Blot doesn't appear to be syncing so my site isn't being updated.

The status page doesn't show anything and neither does the dashboard. Anyone else seeing this?

I noticed the same last night. No evidence on status page but I went to sleep with it having at least 20 minutes of delay in syncing but it had synced when I checked this morning

Is it possible that this is at Dropbox's end? My Dropbox is syncing

Dropbox is not sending Blot the webhook notifications required to sync your folder. I'm investigating this further but it seems be an issue with Dropbox's API

I've contacted Dropbox's developer support and will follow up here once I have news.

For once, this does not seem to be a bug with Blot. We are recieving webhook notifications for only a small subset of the folders connected to Blot which suggests there is some issue with Dropbox's API.

For now, you can work around this issue by manually re-syncing your folder from Dropbox on the dasboard

No word from Dropbox although there is a new incident on their status page. As of a few minutes ago, the webhooks seem to be flowing again from their API. I'll keep an eye on the situation

Just heard from Dropbox's developer team: they had a webhooks disruption earlier but it should be resolved now.

It seems like this issue might have resurfaced... I will keep an eye on Dropbox's status page

My folder seems to have stopped syncing. I added a few files some minutes ago. They have synced to Dropbox (and visible in their web UI), however they aren't visible in Blot.

I also tried manually re-syncing my folder but that doesn't seem to work either. Dropbox's status page isn't showing any problems with their API (yet). Would it please be possible to investigate?

I've just created my Blot account and first two sites. And tried to sync with Dropbox, but Blot wasn't able to create the folder. I've tried to disconnect and reconnect to Dropbox but still no positive results. I'm stuck with two sites without folder to start uploading my text files.

Sorry, need to increase the disk size. Sync should be working again in a few minutes

Sync should be working again now – just make another change to your folder and your site should update. Sorry about this, I woke up to the disk space alert
