I had the exact same problem.  I figured out that the issue is with the DuckDuckGo 'Global Privacy Control' setting.  I have it turned on for my DuckDuckGo chrome extension.  If you add 'dropbox.com' as an 'unprotected' site, you can keep 'Global Privacy Control' turned on and you should be able to view your dropbox content.  Otherwise, you can also just turn off 'Global Privacy Control' and your dropbox content should show up again just fine.
