Hey John9459 , hope it's OK to jump in.
Have you tried switching browsers on your computer, and the same error persists?
If it does, I'd also like you to upload a full screenshot of the error you keep receiving on your end.
Keep me posted!

Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
- John94592 years agoExplorer | Level 4I have Norton. I do not have a VPN. When this started, I was with Verizon and has continued after I changed to TMobile. I have a Gakaxy 23+ phone now. I was using a Galaxy Note8 when the problems started

Hey John9459 , so just to clarify, are you only getting this error on your phone, when opening the link through the browsers you mentioned?
Have you tried accessing the link from a computer to check if it works?
You mentioned you have Norton, so you might want to check its settings, to see if you can whitelist Dropbox.
