# Dropbox and Google Drive access blocked

Access to the popular cloud service Dropbox has been blocked. Users who try to open it after files reportedly shared by Redhack were circulated do not land on a court decision page. The homepage itself is simply unreachable.

There is no official statement yet, but the block is clearly in effect. Talk of the ban started on [Ekşi Sözlük](https://eksisozluk.com/8-ekim-2016-dropboxin-engellenmesi--5203826?nr=true&rf=8%20ekim%20dropbox%27%C4%B1n%20engellenmesi) in the afternoon; how long it will last is still unclear.

Because the same files also lived on Google Drive, that service started getting blocked as well.
