Dropbox website not loading. Why?
My 50 person organization is all experiencing Dropbox not loading on the web platform
- 3 years ago
Hey everyone, thanks for posting here!
I'd suggest that you contact our Support team directly about this, in order for them to have a closer look and investigate what might be causing this.
If you have any trouble doing that, don't worry I can definitely help with that, just let me know.
However, if you manage to contact our Team about this, just give me a heads up and share the ticket number here, in order for me to locate it on our system.
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

the issue is presenting on my personal dropbox as well, and is happening on both my
home and work networks

Folders are all grayed out and account links don't work on rollover. Error message reads
"Something went wrong. Don't worry, your files are still safe and the Dropbox team has been notified. Check our Status Page to see if there is a known incident, our Help center and forums for help, or head back home."
Any ideas what the deal is? Using Firefox on MacOS.

Hi error-help, thanks for posting this here.
Can you send me a full screenshot of what appears on your end?
Have you also tried an incognito window on your web browser, and you see the same thing?
Keep me posted.
- error-help3 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Yes, same in incognito, and after deleting cookies and re-login.
- error-help3 years agoHelpful | Level 5
The page elements begin loading but then it immediately defaults to the error message, and the folder URLs populate the address bar when clicking on them but then revert to the Home URL.
Was quick enough to access account settings by clicking the Account icon as it loaded before defaulting to the error message, but no change in the Home view.

Hi error-help, do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
- error-help3 years agoHelpful | Level 5
None of the above.
Everything was functional as recently as Friday.

Hi error-help, just to rule everything out, would it be possible for you to also try a different browser altogether?
- error-help3 years agoHelpful | Level 5
No other browser option for this machine, but full access to files with DuckDuckGo on an Android tablet.
Menu links at top left are working except for All files. I can see my image files on the Photos page, and Shared page also loads correctly. Account links at top right function in these pages too. I can view individual files listed on these pages, but any attempt to view folders via these pages or via the Folders list at left however still brings up the error message.

Sorry to jump in here as well, error-help.
If it's possible, please do install a different browser on this computer and let us know if there's any difference; it would be super helpful.

I'm experiencing this same issue, Hannah.
- willsears3 years agoNew member | Level 2
Nancy, I'm having the same issue. Please help!
- kratsg3 years agoNew member | Level 2
I have this same error too. Tried Chrome, Firefox, Safari, tried removing proxies, incognito, signing out and signing in. I also cannot generate links from my app either, and it's not syncing. The status page states no known issues, but it seems to be an issue with Dropbox itself.
- rACKsTAg3 years agoNew member | Level 2
I am having the exact same issue. All was well earlier today, but now I can't access any of my files across different teams.
- issue34533453 years agoNew member | Level 2
I started having the same problem a few hours ago as well.
I connected my laptop to dropbox as well today. But I don't see how that's related.
The issue exists on my main desktop computer. On both chrome and edge browsers. And on my laptop.
- Daniel S.1693 years agoNew member | Level 2
Same error here. Opera on Windows 10.
Tried clearing cookies and logging in again to no avail.

I am having the same issue as well.
- Hotspur83 years agoHelpful | Level 6
Having the same issue. Just started a few minutes ago. Don't you love how they start blaming the user's computer right away? Dropbox would never be the problem.
- Hotspur83 years agoHelpful | Level 6
And now it's back. And Dropbox will never let us know what went wrong.
- rACKsTAg3 years agoNew member | Level 2
Hey, tech issues happen. At least they jumped on to fix it when they saw that it was impacting more than one user. Happy Thanksgiving!
- error-help3 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Not resolved here yet.
Thanks everyone for jumping in and letting them know it's not just me.

Hi error-help, if you're still experiencing this issue, have you already been in contact with the support team regarding this matter?

Hey everyone, thanks for chiming here and letting us know more about this!
Our engineers were aware of the issue, and it seems to now have been fixed.
If you're still facing any trouble, feel free to try switching to a different browser altogether. Provided that it persists, send me more info, and any screenshots you might have, and we'll take it from there.
Thanks a bunch!

This issue is not resolved. We continue to have issues with Windows 10 computers using chrome and Edge. The only way we can access files is with a Windows 11 computer using chrome.

Sorry to hear this, dragonpro1.
Are you also seeing a blank screen, or receiving the error shown here, when trying to access the Dropbox website?
If you open it via an incognito window instead, while on your Windows 10 device, does that seem to work?
Let me know, and we’ll take it from there.

Please help. I am going crazy!! This started yesterday and now the same today...
I keep trying to open my files in Dropbox. I get the list to the left of the screen but cannot get any to open. I just get the box with the blue outline showing that it is trying. Then I get this Error message:
Something went wrong. Don`t worry, your files are still safe and the Dropbox team has been notified. Check out our Status Page to see if there is a known incident, our Help center and forums for help, or head back to home.
On the Status Page it says this:
