Hi Lacondra, let's jump right into this!

 

That's indeed odd. 

 

Have you tried using another way, like your mobile data, to connect and access our website through your mobile, to see if that works?

 

I'd also suggest whitelisting the Dropbox website on any VPN or proxy you may have, or if you have some kind of antivirus or firewall, I'd check there as well.

 

Also for the web, make sure that you don't have any third party browser extensions or plugins that could be affecting this.
 

Keep me posted!

    Thanks for the reply.

    I did everything you've listed and didn't work

     

    I've even created a secondary user account in the OS. It works there, but I cannot use it (AFAIK) as the Cloudstorage folder is inside another user folder.

     

    Any ideas?
    I'm seeing that other users are having the same issues with no luck at all

     

    Thanks

      Thanks for the additional info, Lacondra and sorry for the delay here.

       

      Can you try to just install the app using this link and let me know how it goes?
