your app works and was brilliantly suggested. You for sure have issues with the desktop version. Hope you get that fixed. It obviously is not my internet since the app worked fine

2 years agoHey angelsmessenger, let's jump right into this!
As Mark mentioned, we don't have similar reports at the moment, so this could be an individual issue.
In any case, would you be able to try uploading content to your account, using your Dropbox mobile app (if you have it installed) or a browser on a different device?
Also, which one is your main browser and which version of the browser are you using?
Let me know more!

Google chrome 122.0.6261.112 (Official Build) (64-bit)
I did upload it to my desktop and it shows in my files yet not on the dropbox did I do it wrong?

Hi angelsmessenger, thanks for the update!
Glad to see it worked smoothly when using the desktop app.
I'd personally suggest that you restore your browser to its default settings and disable any browser plugins. The issue you're experiencing may be the result of a security setting or a plugin that you have installed on your browser.
If however, you wish to have a closer look into this, we can always continue troubleshooting, I'd be happy to help!

Do you get the error when trying to upload this specific .mp3 file, or with every file you try to upload angelsmessenger?

Hey angelsmessenger, can you test this with other files, to see if they give you an issue too?
And regarding the extensions, I would suggest disabling them, to see if that fixes the issue.
If it does, try re-enabling them one at a time, until you're not able to upload the file, to see which one is causing the issue.

As you are only person reporting it (unlike last year when lots, and lots, and lots did), no it isnt a Dropbox issue unfortunately.
Its almost certainly something linked to the profile/setup you are using.
Do you have anything like Little Snitch on your machine? That is known to cause issues.
