Dropbox StaffHey austrie, thanks for pinging us on this thread and sorry to hear that you're also having trouble with this.
I've also sent you an email to the address connected to your Community profile, so have a look at your inbox and don't hesitate to get back to me there.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
