What is the fix for this? As I'm having the same problem and it is making DB a nightmare to use.

Hi dtrn, how are you today? 

 

Have you tried any of the troubleshooting steps mentioned throughout this thread, such as clearing your cache, or using a different browser? 

 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

    Hi Megan,
    Yep, I have tried the other solutions, cache, different browser etc. But still get ting the same issue across multiple browsers.

      Hi dtrn, does this behavior happen on all of your files, or only some of them? 

       

      Also, do you notice this only on the Dropbox website?

        Not the files but the folders. So if I middle click or ctrl-click on a folder it won’t open in a new tab but open in the same tab. If I try the same thing on a file or anything not in a folder, it will open in a new tab as expected. 

        This happens on every folder, and behaves the same across all the DB accounts I have.
