There was an error downloading your file

Hey there. Never experienced this issue before, but can't seem to download individual files within folders and get that error message. Can download the folder containing the files though.

Thanks for joining the discussion nmedia!

Just to cover all the troubleshooting and make sure we're on the same page, I'll need to ask you for a bit more info.

Can you let me know if you see any difference when you try the following:

  • Clear the browser cache and try again
  • Use another web browser
  • Use an incognito/private browsing window

Also, Dropbox works best on the 2 most recent versions of most modern browsers, so please check if there is any pending updates for your browser.

Finally, if you're getting an error message when trying to download your files, please send a screenshot of this to me here.

Let me know what you find and we'll go from there - thanks!
