Hi, I've been using Dropbox for a few years now on my Windows computer without any issues, now for some reason it will not let me connect to the website. Just says "The site can't be reached" www.dropbox.com refused to connect. I'm using chrome but I've also tried Firefox but the problem remains? I've logged on to post this message though my phone with no issues on the same ip address, has anyone else had this problem 🤔
