Need to access some stuff on dropbox today for work (stupidly hadn't downloaded), and it is being blocked by IFW webfilter. HELP ME!

What is this about and more importanly how can I get what I need...?

If they cant access it either then there's a problem at their end not yours

Sorry that is the extent of my tech abilities!!

If they have uploaded it to Dropbox they will have a copy in their local dropbox folder.

Is the person whose account it is from around to send a different way?

GeneHuntsMistress · 23/10/2012 13:52

Glad you're sorted.

An old boss of mine once kicked the shit out of his PC, tore it off the desk and jumped up and down on it.

The whole office gave him a standing ovation ....

"What is a "proxy" service?"

That would be a poxy service with an R in it. Grin

I have sent an email of personal recommendation for the guy from the service provider who spent hours talking me through options. Said he should have a pay rise.

Well strictly speaking it isn't fixed - just circumvented on a temp basis...
