Re: Powerpoint for the Web not working

Powerpoint for the Web not working. It's blank when I try to open documents.

Hello, 

 

I am having issues opening up a PPT on the web through the Dropbox browser app.  A new screen will upload but it will be completely blank- no error messages either.Screenshot 2023-07-25 at 10.02.06 AM.png

Hi Megan.

 

Hoping to piggyback on this post with the hope you have found a solution.

 

We have multiple people experiencing this exact issue as well. We have reproduced this on a number of Macs running macOS Big Sur through macOS Ventura (13.5). Most recently on a brand new MacBook Pro — we installed Google Chrome only and tested the issue immediately and reproduced the issue. We have also tried multiple versions of Google Chrome 112.x.xxxx.xxx through Google Chrome 115.0.5790.170. Apple Intel & Apple Silicon. Everything is reproducing. No browser extensions/add-ons installed. Default, out of the box, Google Chrome settings. Further we added [*.]dropbox.com to Allow Cookies and Site Data in Google Chrome - no change.

 

I also have a ticket on this issue, but the agent has yet to take on a wiliness to replicate the issue himself. If you have some new information on this issue, please share.

 

Thanks

It seems to be working now! Just came back to life 10 minutes ago. Must have been a Dropbox error.

Hi Calvin (@calvindbx)

 

Much like Amanda (@amandajv) my issue miraculously resolved on Thursday as well. No changes were made to any of the devices at our location or any of our client locations. Same version of Google Chrome as before, so assume maybe Dropbox team resolved something.
