Error 500 when I'm trying to retrieve a file's version history.
I am attempting to retrieve a previous file using the Version History, however, I keep getting an "Error 500" messages. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Hi Everybody,
I've received word that a fix has been released. This should be resolved, but if you're still getting an error when retrieving version history, please let me know here!
Thanks,
Ben

Hey there, MelGold, welcome to our Community!
Have you tried using a different browser, by any chance? I'd like for us to exclude any browser-related issues first.
Is this file yours, or a shared file?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

I'm having the same issue with my own file that I accidentally saved over. I am getting the 500 error on two different browsers (Chrome and Firefox) when I view the Version History page for that file.

Hi MelGold,
Sorry to hear about the issue you're facing. Here are a few steps to try and resolve the Error 500:
- Refresh the Page: Sometimes, a simple refresh can fix temporary glitches.
- Clear Browser Cache: Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try again.
- Use a Different Browser: Switch to a different browser to see if the problem persists.
- Check Dropbox Status: Visit Dropbox Status to see if there are any ongoing issues.
- Contact Support: If the problem continues, reach out to Dropbox Support for further assistance.
I hope this helps!
Best,
Johnny

same problem - we pay a lot of money for this feature, and for the one time I need it, it fails. Huge disappointment.

e_e, does the error appear on a different browser/via incognito mode, as well?

Hello,
Yes, I've used Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome and I am still having the same issue today!
The file is not a shared file!
Best,

MelGold, does the issue persist via an incognito window, as well? If you have any other browsers available, please give them a go, too.
If yes, I’d like a full screenshot of what you’re seeing to check this further.
