<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I second what Albert wrote. I am also
an American and when Dropbox gives me the message "It seems you
don't belong here!" it elicits a smile or a chuckle. They are
definitely trying to be cute, not rude or offensive. That said,
it would be good if they were made aware that they <i>are</i>
offending Europeans by their non-standard access denied message.<br>

Blame it on American dialect. As an American, I find it just
cute. But, you're right, if they're operating internationally,
they need to be more careful; what's cute in one place will come
across quite differently elsewhere.<br>

<div>Hi Beppie,</div>

<div>Saw your repost just as I was leaving for an interpreting
booking. Now works as I guess you expected.</div>

<div>That Drop Box error is shockingly rude. They need to
think about their lexical choices.</div>
