https://dropbox.com is not redirecting to www subdomain in my region

* and chrome is not picking anything either

Hey Abdullah Hasan​, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community.

Can you please describe what you're trying to accomplish exactly?

Is this the first time you've had this issue? Was the website working for you as normal before?

I'd suggest taking a look at this article as well; it has some info and troubleshooting steps that might be helpful when it comes to website issues.

Keep me updated!

i was just trying to open dropbox.com on my pc and it wasn't working,
after trying for a while, i figure out that it work with 'www' subdomain.

https://dropbox.com is not working nor redirecting 
https://www.dropbox.com is working

So its still a problem only here if we manually type which is usually without 'www' it does not redirect to 'www' subdomain, and throws error.

yes, it was working before.

Hi Abdullah Hasan, thanks for the info! 

Could you try a different browser and let me know if you notice the same behavior there? 

If I were you, I'd also try clearing the cache of my Chrome browser, and try again just to see if the same thing happens then.

I'll be waiting for your updates! 

Hi,
i have tried on 2 different wifi, on a cellular  and on 4 different pc/mobiles.
the non-www domain is still not working

and also http://www.dropbox.com  is pointed to the same ip but one and working and the other is not.


this is the http://www.dropbox.com  example that worked
