Was not having any issues opening up any email excel/pdf files with drop box, then we had a windows update wipe everything out. After reloading windows, office, drop box... all of the sudden, links can be opened or accessed. it goes to the webpage and shows a cartoon dog in front of a bowl with text :
That didn't work for some reason
If it's a fluke, it might work if you refresh the page. You can also ask us for help.
no chat/call or email from dropbox can fix it.
bought a new computer, loaded drop box.....same issues
the sender was notified that there might be an issue with the link, he resent it and now, it will try to go to the local drop box on the computer but we receive the error mentioned in this tread.
any ideas?
