Where is the message coming from? Is it directly from Dropbox? Is it your browser that's blocking the link? Can you provide a screenshot of the exact message?
Note the Dropbox emblem in the upper left hand corner. I get this message irrespective of whether I am logged into my own Dropbox account or not (which I have rarely used).
I queried this issue and came across another community member that had the same problem. It appears that Dropbox reached out to him and told him to contact them directly. So I could not see an actual solution to his problem. My guess is that Dropbox has blocked this site or somehow targeted me for not receiving this data. I cannot contact live Dropbox support directly as I do not have a paid subscription to Dropbox. But I should not have to have a paid subscription to Dropbox to access files that have been shared by another Dropbox user. Should I?
