    Hello...

    Just to be certain, look at your: 

    chrome://extensions

    If you don't have any ad blocking extensions that are enabled then perhaps you should try clearing all of Chrome's browsing history. 

    chrome://history

    BE SURE TO:

    1. Select the beginning of time from the drop-down menu.
    2. Check all 8 boxes.
    3. Click on the Clear Browsing Data button.
    4. After it's finished, close Chrome for 10 seconds.
    5. Open Chrome and login to Dropbox's website.

    If image doesn't load... refresh your browser, F5. Otherwise try again later

Thanks for the support. Tried using Safari which worked fine.
I tried stopping Adblock from running on Chrome but that made no difference for me.
Clearing all browsing history 'from the beginning of time' in Chrome seems to have fixed it. It's loading properly in Chrome again now.
Thanks.

Hello, Michael..

You're welcome.

Some of the ad blockers are not as easy to disable vs removing altogether. You could whitelist the Dropbox website in your ad blocker.

I clear my history every day or use incognito mode (less files for your antivirus software to scan each day).

Glad that clearing the browsing history worked for you.
