Dropbox StaffHey facole - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please let us know the steps you take to do this and send us some screenshots of the errors you're getting as well so that we can have a look?
Any additional information is more than welcome!
On my Andriod S10, WiFi is not able to open the Dropbox app. Trying to use the Dropbox cloud through my aWallet app can only connect through mobile data. With WiFi the URL being sent is:
[Removed as per Community Guidelines]I get this response:
This site can’t be reachedwww.dropbox.com unexpectedly closed the connection.
Try:
Checking the connection
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
Then it says Authentication Failed.
I previously have uninstalled all ad blocking and VPN apps and disabled all browser (Chrome & Firefox) ad blocking add ons / extensions.
I also have Dropbox installed on my PC in Window 11 and Dropbox Lite in the Windows Subsystem for Android. The aWallet app has the same connection issue.
Thanks, I'll go through my notes to be sure I'm not mixing things up a bit.
I appreciate your assistance. I hope that URL above has a clue that may help.

Hi facole, have you tried contacting the developers of that app if they're aware of the error you're receiving?
On my Win11 PC. Yes, all they say is I'm fireblocking it somehow. If that's the case, I just want to know how to find it. I can't think of anything else to look at.
Point is, I can manage disabling WiFi on the Andriod phone for Dropbox or rather just use Google Drive with aWallet but the aWallet Windows app and the aWallet Lite WSA app can ONLY use the Dropbox cloud. I can get the Dropbox app to work on Win11 but the local directory just doesn't sync so I can't use a CMD file to bridge the two.
Thanks
