Hello there Dkcc74,
Could you first just try the steps below to see if any of them resolves the issue you're having:
- Try using a different web browser
- Use an incognito/private window
- Clear the browser cache
If the issue persists, would you mind sending a screenshot of the error messages that you're seeing? Also, can you let me know what steps you're taking when you get the error? For example, when trying to sign in to Dropbox or trying to access a certain web page.
I hope this helps, let me know how it goes - thanks!

I was using Google Chrome, switching to Incognito worked! Will I need to always use Incognito? Thanks so much for your help to get me into my files!

I'm glad to hear that Dkcc74!
If it's working fine in incognito mode then it's most likely a browser extension that is causing the error message.
Can you try disabling your extensions one by one on a normal browser window? If the issue is resolved after a particular extension is disabled then it may be the one causing the error.
Keep me posted on your findings - thanks!
