Hi,

 

I logged out and in again, and the same message showed up. 

 

Dropbox seems to work normally on my phone though. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Cheers,

Louis.

    Thanks for the info Louis Clerc & Welshi23!

     

    Since it seems this info is coming when you access your account online, would you mind clearing the cache of your browser too, and trying again? 

     

    Also, do you notice the same behavior when you access our website using a different browser?

      Hi,

      Cleaned the cache, but to no avail. The message is still there and blocks access to the files. I don't have any other browser I would use with this computer. 

       

      Cheers,

      Louis.

      Hey Louis Clerc, one more thing: would you mind checking and making sure you're also using the latest update on your current browser?
