Getting errors when managing automations

Hi

when managing Automations in Dropbox I constantly get the "Couldn't add automation to..." or "Something went wrong. Please try again."

I'm not creating elaborate Automations with steps; just sorting into months or years.

Has anyone had the same problem and found a reason and/or fix?

    Yes, I tried that yesterday with no difference. Today though, it works fine... so I guess everything's alright now. :)

    Hi there erlandsen - thanks for letting us know about this.

    Can you please clear your browser's cache and/or try another browser and let us know if you get the same results?

    If you do, we'd appreciate a screenshot of the error you're getting too. 

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the screenshots erlandsen - much appreciated.

    Have you tried using another browser or an incognito window with no extensions or  plugins running as well?
