Dropbox 'turning blank'

After signing in, the contents (folders etc) show up for a second or two and then the screen goes blank (turns white). Has anyone any idea what is happening/going wrong?

    Clear your browser's cache/browsing history and try again, or try another browser.

    Thanks... I tried another browser and that worked OK. Now I need to find why the browser that I use all the time has taken a dislike to Dropbox 🙂

    Yep !


    Others have posted about that as well. Odd, since Opera is based on Chromium, just like Edge and Chrome.

    I cleared out the cache files in Opera and Dropbox is now working OK, but I still have no idea why Opera took a sudden dislike to Dropbox.
