The start-up Boxopus, users torrents let download to Dropbox, is offline. Dropbox has access to the api revoked, so that the service effectively out of action. Dropbox is afraid that the site encourages copyright infringement.
Last Sunday wrote Tweakers.net still on the start-up, which in a short time a bevy of enthusiastic users managed to slur. Now Boxopus his services, however, should cease, after Dropbox the application, the wings of the Dropbox api. Since the start-up allowed to download torrents to Dropbox, the site will actually useless.
In an e-mail to the developers of Boxopus gives Dropbox the functionality of Boxopus, users ‘can lead to the infringement of copyrights via Dropbox. According to Boxopus is remarkable, because the start-up is fully in line with U.s. law and the Dropbox terms and conditions would act.
Even more striking is that Dropbox according to TorrentFreak a few weeks ago an alpha version of Boxopus approved, and therefore only operation, after the site in the news had come. The developers say $ 30,000 in the site to have been stabbed; there was a team of five men at the start-up worked.
Maybe it means the move from Dropbox not yet the end for the service; Boxopus says ‘in consultation’ with other providers of cloud storage, and hopes to resolve the problem quickly.
