Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

CAN I STILL SHOP AT DROP.COM ? Yes! We are open! You can shop at Drop.com 24/7. HOW LONG ARE THE CURRENT DELAYS?
April 28th Update: The current backlog is approximately 4-6 days for most in-stock orders. Orders from warehouse.drop.com and mechkeys.drop.com are expected to all be shipped within the next 2 weeks. WHAT ABOUT CANCELLING MY ORDER? We have relaxed our typical cancellation policies, please contact Customer Support at drop.com/support to see if your order is eligible to be cancelled. WHAT IF I PAID FOR EXPEDITED SHIPPING? If you ordered one of our in-stock products and paid extra for expedited shipping, we will process your order at the same time as people who did not request expedited shipping—the processing delays are the same. However, the courier service level of your order will be expedited, meaning that Fedex (or whomever) will get the package from our warehouse to your doorstep much faster as a result of paying for expedited shipping. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO KEEP DISTRIBUTION STAFF SAFE? Our shipping facility is currently operating 1 daily shift instead of 2, due to state curfews. For the 1 shift, staffing levels have been reduced to ensure social distancing is maintained while in the warehouse. Some weekend shifts have been added to help with the backlog of orders. In addition to following hygiene guidelines and regular deep cleanings, our team is wiping down all high-touch surfaces throughout the day. If a team member is sick or feeling ill, they are strongly advised to stay at home. WHY CAN YOU NOT SHIP TO MY COUNTRY? Due to some couriers restricting service to highly impacted areas as well as decreases in air cargo availability, we have temporarily restricted orders to some countries. At this point, it is very difficult to forecast when the courier operations will resume normal services in these areas.
