"This site can't be reached" when accessing the Dropbox site
I am so frustrated with my account today. Four times I have had to verify it is me. When I try to open my "home" or "files" - I cannot see the files. I get a white page with shaded file folders. No words. Won't open. I don't want to read articles on "how to......". Please tell me what is going wrong.
By the way - I have no idea which of your suggested categories pertain to my issue.
Thank you.

Hey there john30 - sorry for the tardy response; are you still having issues with this?
Have you tried other browsers by any chance?
Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there John.
Cheers!

Hi there, I keep getting an error message when I try to share files -- or when I try to copy the shareable link and then try to navigate to it, I get the error message: 'This site cannot be reached'.

Hi, I hope this is the right forum as I can't find one dedicated to dropbox.com issues.
A couple of days ago no problems. Today I can no longer navigate around on dropbox.com apart from logging in to my home screen. Every other action just downloads an empty file to my desktop.
E.g. I click on 'Files' on the left of the screen and an empty file 'home.dms' downloads to my desktop. I click on 'Paper' and 'paper.dms' downloads. Click on a folder and 'foldername.dms' downloads. Etc.
What the heck have I done to get this effect? Any help is very much appreciated!
(I'm using OSX High Sierra and Safari 12.0.1)

Hi all
There is something really wrong with DropBox tonight. I've two ISPs here (fibre and copper) and all other websites I'm visiting are completely normal (so it's not this end or any backbone issue).
I'm continually getting "This site can't be reached"
With "The webpage at https://www.dropbox.com... (etc) might be tempoarily down or may have moved permanently to a new web address."
ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE
I've never ever had this before. DropBox has always just worked.
Thoughts?

When I try to open Dropbox from Safari instead of opening, it sends web address to my download folder. On Chrome it just says theat page is not available. Is Dropbox down?
- MKNNew member | Level 2
Exact same problem in both Safari and IE. Clicking any link at all (e.g. "home" "files") was as if I was trying to download the webpage.
Happened when I was on a call with a client who was then not happy about being unable to access the file I sent with a "faulty" link!
Had to scramble to compress and e-mail the files instead.
It's been buggy all afternoon since then, 4xx error, 500 error. Yet somehow the Dropbox stats webpage says it is all fine and dandy with no outages! Guess all of us reporting same errors here don't count.

Been using Dropbox for years with no problem on MacBook Pro. Today accepted an invite to new folder Bards Grange. (I had already had access to this folder). Now when I type Dropbox in the menu bar in Safari, it drops some kind of linnk into the Downloads. Why? When clicking on that item it says:
There is no application set to open the document “www.dropbox.com”.
I cannot open Driopbox .
Thought?
