Dropbox StaffDo you have a screenshot of the exact error perhaps Mikmeister?

If you're on a mobile device and not seeing it, try requesting the desktop version of the page.
Every time I try to open an Excel or Word document this is what comes up. I log in, try again, and it goes back to the same prompt.
