Wow, I didn't know that. So everything I host on Dropbox (and I host _everything_ on Dropbox) is unavailable in China?! Is this country-wide or ISP-specific?

YouTube, Dropbox, Facebook are nationwide blocks. Imgur, tinypic, media wiki etc...seem to be blocked by some ISPs.

I'm obviously careful about this, there are good alternatives that work (for now) in china, e.g. Skydive rather than Dropbox. But even I have to we YouTube for video uploads.

Thanks for the heads up. That's pretty awful. I'm not going to stop using Dropbox over it, but it is upsetting to know so many people can't access my work posted there.
