Unable to sign into app
Re-install not cured it
deleting cache not cured it.

Hi ccowap, 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!
I have been having the same problem with my windows desktop app for almost a year now. Windows firewall is set to allow all 3, domain, private, and public communication for Dropbox.
Please help, Dropbox is so much less useful when you have to do everything through a browser.
I had to uninstall and re-unstall DB
and then completely re-sync all the files to a new folder.
DB default folder name format changed while doing that - (which was odd) out of interest.
- Hi, I'm seeing what appears to be 2 blue boxes, these change shape whilst rotating to the left.
This is the in the setup up window.
I have about 3k photos and about 800 videos.
Do I wait for to do whatever it's doing?
I'm not sure what it's doing?
Please advise
Many thanks- Megan
Hi Geoffrey F., let's jump right into this!
How long has it been like that? Normally, the app should move forward from the set-up window, and begin syncing.
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
- Hi
I installed Dropbox 6pm last night.
The setup Dropbox was still open and doing the same as I mentioned in my original post at 11am today.
I've closed the setup window.
And shut down my pc.
Thanks for your help, regards GF.
