Backups do not display on website.
I cannot display my backups on the website. The URL that is not working:
https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all?_tk=web_left_nav_bar
See screenshot below. That is what I see at the above URL.
Here's what I have tried:
- Three browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge. This fails on all three.
- Signed out and signed back in.
- Cleared cache and cookies for all *.dropbox.com
- Tried at different times of the day (this has not been working for about 12 hours)
Note: Choosing "View backed up files" from the desktop app works fine to display the files from a backup. I just cannot list the backups and display the files on the website.

Hey adj7388, I'd be happy to help!
Out of curiosity: do you try to follow the link directly, or do you click the waffle icon -top left- in order to access your Backups?
Let me know more!

Using the waffle icon in the upper left.
By the way, I forgot to mention: I recently upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Not sure why that would matter, but thought I would mention it.

Hi adj7388, and I am assuming you also get the same results when you try to access the link directly?
- adj73882 years agoExplorer | Level 3
Yes, same result accessing the URL directly or via the waffle menu. In all browsers.
And here's what I see in the javascript console in Chrome:

Hi adj7388, can you also try an incognito tab on your browser?
If this doesn't work, can I send you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this?

Yes, same result in incognito mode. Chrome screenshot below. I didn't try in other browsers since it didn't seem likely to be different.

I am having a similar issue, if not the same one. My dropbox main web screen does not show me my Backups anywhere. To get to them, I need to search for 'PC' which then brings me to the separate Dropbox backups page. I should be able to get to all my Dropbox features from one location on the web. It should appear in the left hand navigation column at a minimum.
