Can't open any files from my Android phone

It seems like the device itself isn't allowing the Dropbox app to access the internet to download files.
There is a possibility that a proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router issues could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains.
I'd recommend checking all of these possibilities, and try connecting to a different WiFi network, or use cellular data, to see if there is any difference.

Do you have an appropriate application on your phone to open them?
- jdt343 years agoExplorer | Level 3I have Microsoft Office on my phone, and it opens Word files outside of Dropbox just fine. My phone also opens PDFs outside of Dropbox with no problem. But within the Dropbox app, nothing opens.
- jdt343 years agoExplorer | Level 3One more thing. On the Dropbox website I can open the same files with my phone that won't open in the app.
