Dropbox StaffHi debasissadhukhan, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you trying to access the folder while logged into your Dropbox account directly on the browser?
Are you certain that the URL is correct when trying to open it?
Any other info or screenshots (while hiding personal details) would be helpful!
Hello,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am trying to directly access the folders from the Chrome browser. I am just double-clicking on the folder that I want to access, so I am not sure what do you mean by "Are you certain that the URL is correct when trying to open it ".
The following are the screenshots. I am trying to access the Debarka S folder under ID cards (Fig 1), then a error massage (Fig 2) is popped up. But when I just created another folder named "ALL" under "ID Cards", and moved everything from "ID Cards" to "All", everything is working. It is only when the folders are directly under "ID Cards" I am trying to open, the error massage is poping up.

Are you able to view and access the folder in the main window on the right when you navigate to the ID Cards folder?
I am able to view the folder in the main window. But when even I am clicking it on the Debarka S, folder then the error message poping up.
Same here.
Can not access one of the two App-folders in the Browser, but can access it from the API. Strangely, the Web surface shows and lists the "/Archiv" subdirectory of it without problems!
I have renamed the folder I could not not list ("/eCapConfigurator"), and then I was able to see the content and upload files to it.
Then I renamed it back (deleted the additional '1' from the end), and have the same error situation as before.There must be an new Dropbox error regarding Webserver.
