"Something went wrong" error page - what can I do to access my files?

i usually upload weekly voice tracks onto my dropbox account and they get deleted weekly and replaced weekly so no space is taken.

 

today i tried to get on that page and instead there was a purple target graphic and under it this is what it said:

 

Error

    Hey Leslie Webster, sorry to see you're having this issue.

     

    Have you tried accessing your Dropbox account from a different browser or a private browsing/incognito window, to see if that helps?

     

    Let me know what you find.

    No worries, Leslie!

     

    Our website works best on the two most recent versions of:

     

    1. Chrome
    2. Firefox
    3. Microsoft Edge
    4. Safari

    I hope this helps!
