Dropbox not displaying in Chrome
Hi everyone, I'm having a strangely annoying thing go on today with Dropbox on Chrome. I didn't have it yesterday. First I can't display files sent to me via a Dropbox link on Chrome. The link displays as a Jpeg of the first slide and that's it (no dropbox menu or anything). I could display the file sent opening an incognito window, or on another browser (Safari). The link was Keynote slide document in this case - but no Dropbox file links seem to work on Chrome at the moment, though they do on Safari.
Then I tried accessing my Dropbox account on Chrome and only got a blank screen just white screen with a black cookie warning bar on the top. Clicking learn more led me to Dropbox support website which worked, but clicking OK did nothing (I didn't take a screenshot). Meanwhile Dropbox on the desktop seems fine as well, as far as I can work out my account is syncing all my folders and files fine.
Given it seemed to be something going on with Chrome, I emptied my cache, deleted cookies, restarted multiple times, updated Mac OS just in case, restarted my laptop again. The main page of Dropbox showed up where I could log in to my account on Chrome so I thought it was sorted, but now it only shows me this screen. It looks like it's loading but just stops there. It seems some setting on Chrome (?) but I can't figure out what, and I haven't actually changed anything between yesterday and today... I'm a little stumped, happy to have ideas of things I could or should be doing, thank you!
I also use Duck Duck Go as my search engine with Chrome. I disabled this extension and all my data showed up again. Curious to know if this works for others?

I had the same issue today. Just use the incognito mode in Chrome, that worked for me. Or use a different browser other than Chrome.
I had the same issue. It started yesterday. The solution for me was adblocker. Once I paused it on the site it worked perfectly.
Turning off DDG worked, thanks! I wonder what changed?
Ugh, I use DDG too. I'll give this a try.
Bingo! I turned off Duck Duck Go extension and it worked like a charm. Makes me very curious what Dropbox changed in their privacy settings that would have this impact.
Can confirm. I disabled the Duck-Duck-Go extension for the search in Chrome's settings and it cleared up the issue immediately.

Annoyed, but glad I'm not the only one... Dropbox hasn't worked in chrome for me since yesterday morning...
Having the same issue since last night. Just updated to latest version of Chrome but didn't help. Works fine in Safari and Firefox.
Having exact same problem - got here through search.
Works through Edge oddly enough, but just stopped working in Chrome yesterday.
