Dropbox StaffHi lukehanley, let's jump right into this!
Would you be able to click on the blue hyperlink? In order for us to further investigate, we'll need to get and analyze the full error log that corresponds to the error message pop-up you're getting.
You can reply back here with it.
Keep me posted!
