You'd now need to find out which security service/app is causing this.
Do you have any of the services Jay mentioned in his previous message? Maybe you can look through their settings, to see which one's the culprit.
Alternatively, you can temporarily disable them one by one, to find out.

Hey Hannah,
Out of "proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router," I can only see the ISP or router causing problems.

Since using a VPN solves the problem, does that mean that my router is also not the culprit? Should I then blame the ISP?

I've done the enabling-cookies thing (I use Chrome); nothing.
I'll try restarting my computer and see what happens.
My guess is that someone in Dropbox made some "improvement" that is the polar opposite of progress. Please unimprove things!
Doing a system restart seems to have repaired this glitch. Fingers crossed that it will stick. I find that more and more websites have become prisoners of developer-inflicted glitches--making the Internet and personal computing harder to use with ease. Such is the lot of the 21st century.
