They say they're upgrading their database server, and should be up again shortly: http://twitter.com/DropboxOps

EDIT: And now it seems to be back up.

Thanks - this mostly was for clarification about what they were doing as there wasn't any status information to be had.

are we really posting 5xx error message of website? what is next cnn's 404 error?

you can down vote. have field day!

Not just any website! A website of a YCombinator funded startup. A website for a service with which most of us have accounts. A service that wasn't working because it was down, thus affecting our DATA!!

I doubt we'd post a CNN 404, but a CNN 5xx might be HNewsworthy. Especially if 4chan was to blame.

Maybe we can discuss how to startups can handle planned downtime situations?

discussing how they handled the down time would have been better than the posted link.

I've upvoted you, because this is ridiculous.
