    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

Also a bit confused on the answers, did people erased their whole browsing history on chrome or just the dropbox related?
Thank you for your help. -Erich M.

Hello, Erich...

Yes, clear all of Chrome's browsing history... view my answer with instructions.

I clear my browsing history every day or I use incognito mode (doesn't save history). Clearing your browser's history means less files for your antivirus software to scan each day and it increases your browser's performance (unclogs the arteries so-to-speak).

Let me know if it solves your Chrome issue.
