Corrections & Right of Reply

We would rather be accurate than fast. Here is exactly how to get something fixed — and how Dropbox, or anyone named, can respond.

Dropbox Watchdog aims to be a fair, well-sourced record — critical, but accurate. Errors are inevitable in a large archive, and we treat fixing them as a priority rather than an embarrassment. This page explains how corrections work and how anyone affected can reply.

1. Tell us what's wrong
Use the submission form and choose 'report an error', or email the correction with the issue URL. Point to the specific sentence and, ideally, a source that supports the correction.
2. We check it against the sources
Every correction is weighed against primary sources — court records, regulatory filings, Dropbox's own statements, and established reporting. If the record supports the change, we make it.
3. We fix it promptly and transparently
Substantive factual corrections are made as soon as they are verified. Where an entry materially changes, we note that it was updated. Edge-cached pages may take up to an hour to refresh.

Right of reply

Dropbox, Inc., and any individual or organisation named in an entry, is welcome to submit a response. Where a substantive, on-point reply is provided, we will add it to the relevant entry — every issue already has a "Dropbox's Response / Official Position" section for exactly this purpose. We do not remove accurately-sourced, factual information, but we will correct, contextualise, or add the other side's position.

We distinguish allegations from settlements and judgments, and we label unproven claims as alleged. If an outcome changes — a case is dismissed, settled, or won — tell us and we will update the record.
