File request link results in blank screen
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
ALL of our file request links result in a blank screen when clicked. It is not a browser issue, as it's been tested across many browsers. I wasn't aware of it until a client advised me of the problem. Dropbox are looking into it, meanwhile this has been ongoing since Tuesday and still no fix.
The copied link shows as [removed], then when entered, changes and inserts _edison https://www.dropbox.com/request_edison/xyz
Thanks in advance
- I resolved the issue by troubleshooting it myself. The issue is with your branding module; if no background colour is set, it results in a blank screen.

Just tried creating a file request in a private browser and still got the same problem. No vpn or router restricting Dropbox.
Are you able to see the request link? - Jay3 years ago

Are you on a work network or personal internet connection? Is it possible to create a file request link from a completely different network connection?
If you have a colleague or friend with a Dropbox account, do they experience the same issue when creating file requests on their own account?

I’ve tried on several networks including mobile network.
Just logged into another Dropbox account and it creates the the request link and doesn’t add _edison.
There is clearly something wrong with my account. - Jay3 years ago

Thanks for the input, I'll add these comments onto the support ticket, as I believe at this point it's best for them to investigate further on their end, as it appears to be account-specific.

Hi lucidity , sorry for the inconvenience! The issue should have been fixed now. You don't have to have branding to use File Request now.
