    Hi @Frank P E. , thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you try logging into Dropbox on an incognito/private browsing browser to see if this helps?

     

    Keep me updated with any progress!

    Could you try disabling all extensions and plugins to see if this helps?

    I think  this is a bit over kill --- I download a (new) browser ( duck-duck-go),  I never used it for anything and the  first thing I did was to  login to  dropbox.com ---  when I  got connected the (new)   browser asked me if I would except cookies and I said yes ---  I then tried to chat and  got the same screen that is in the photo
