Hey Milthon & mattcooley, thanks for your swift responses, & I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing the same behaviour. 
 
I understand that you may think that this is an automated message, as we’re using a checklist (depending on the original description of the issue of course) so as to rule out some scenarios. When it comes to your Firewall settings, it’s merely so as to eliminate any server-side (: meaning specific to your local network) adjustments. 
 
Moving forward, as I want to assist you on the matter, could you please provide me with a screenshot (omitting personal info) of the behavior that you’re seeing? Last but not least, are you on a home or work network? 
 
Please do let me know of your findings, & I look forward to hearing back from you! :grin:

I'm having the same problem. This product is absolute garbage. No matter how many "incognito tabs" I open or different browsers I use, I still get the same error message. All other websites (except for Dropbox Paper) work.

 

Any update on this? Why even release a produce if the core functionality -- being able to edit it and collaborate on documents -- doesn't even come close to working consistently?
