'Something went wrong from our end' error on the web.

Are you using a particular browser to access your files cowboypmv?

Have you tried clearing its cache or using another browser?

Good morning, Megan,

I use Opera browser and I continue to see the error message 

However, I tried Chrome browser (I didn't try it before) and... there is no access problem. I can see and access all files.

May it help you to recognize and to solve the problem?

Thanks for your colaboration.

Hey RosendoJose, interesting. 

It sounds like it might be a browser specific issue, since Chrome works smoothly. 

Sometimes this could be the result of a security setting or a plugin installed on your browser. Can you visit our website on a browser without any active plugins and see if that changes the behavior? 

As an additional step, clearing your browser's cache would be helpful.

Feel free to also try these steps on your end, adamlove. I am here to know the results!

Dropbox is not down globally. It would seem this issue is only affecting a select few people. I'd suggest trying some of the troubleshooting steps mentioned in this thread and let us know the results. I'd start by trying another browser.

Replying to Megan 

Cleared cache, turned off adblock, used incognito, and I'm still getting this error message. I'm using Opera GX. There was no major update to the browser I use in the time that this issue came up, because it was working normally until a few days ago. Maybe there was an internal update on Dropbox that caused a sudden conflict with the browser? I have both Mac and Windows desktops that both use Opera GX, and they are both having the same errors.

I am able to get it to work on Chrome after some strong arming, but I do most of my daily workflow on Opera, so it comes at a major inconvenience to my workflow. Thank you for your collaboration. Hopefully someone on the Dropbox IT team can get this figured out soon. Like I said, it was working perfectly until a few days ago.

My situation is exactly the same. After clearing cache I access from Chrome but not from Opera. On Saturday I worked on the files and on Sunday I couldn't do it anymore, without having made any changes.

Any movement on this? It's been nearly a week and it hasn't been solved.

I reinforce the question posed by adamlove. In my case, presumably, the problem concerns the Opera browser, so Dropbox should analyze what can or should be done.

Hey everyone, thanks for your reports.

I was able to check with our Team, and it turns out that while Opera was working with Dropbox up until recently, Dropbox works better on the suggested browsers here. 

This would explain the behavior you experience. 

I am sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused, I understand this isn't ideal, but you can still access Dropbox through a different browser, and our apps too.

I guess another option is for all of us to ditch Dropbox and move over to We Transfer since it seems Dropbox is not going to solve this issue.
