Cloud storage service Dropbox users were hit with a widespread service outage this morning that lasted a little more than an hour.
Tweets from outraged users around the world appeared to show the breadth of the service outage.
According to the web monitoring site Is It Down Right Now, Dropbox’s servers were unresponsive at 6:32am Pacific Time (1.32pm GMT) and appeared to be down for a little more than an hour. During that time, the Dropbox website was displaying 404 server error messages.
After coming back online, Dropbox Support tweeted the statement: "We apologise for any inconvenience that might have been caused. Dropbox is back to normal."
When contacted by Computerworld, a spokeswoman didn’t elaborate on the reasons for the outage.
Dropbox’s last service disruption in January lasted more than 15 hours.
