    Thanks for the info, were you able to use another network to test if you could download files from your Dropbox account?

    HI Nancy

    As I mentioned, I can do everything except download files.

    I've been using Dropbox for many years and I've never had this problem before.

    Thanks for the info, it's possible that something on your network might be preventing access to all the Dropbox domains, or causing some other issue when it comes to downloading from the site.

    Hi Jorge M.16, have you tried downloading the files from another network entirely?

    Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
