    Hi Giona, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Are you using a personal machine, or a company-managed device?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    I'm using a personal machine.

    I tohught the problem was because of windows defender or firewall but I noticed that if I try to log in with my personal dropbox account everything works fine and I'm able to get in correctly.

    It's possible that there may be a restriction of some sort with the university account. 

     

    Have you contacted your IT team for the university to see if they're aware of this?
