Unable to download, move, or copy files from web interface

For the past few days I have been experiencing the following:

  • When I try to download any file I get a generic message that says "There was an error downloading your file".
  • When I try to copy a file to a different folder the folder selection dialog just cycles.
  • Same thing with moving. 
  • I have tried chrome, firefox, safari, and Arc. 

I'm on macOS 14.3.1.    

  • apparently... I was using google vpn, I didn't realize that would cause issues.

     

    that seems to have fixed it.

    Hi the1gofer, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?

     

    This will help me to assist further!
