Dropbox for Outlook is giving me a "failed to load request" error message

Hi, this app has stopped working. I get the error message "failed to load request". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app but no change. I have been to Microsoft 365 help and they have shared my screen and looked into it but think its a Dropbox issue.

    Hi, I just bought a new Mac, and followed community instructions to get Dropbox visible in Finder. Success! But when I try to attach documents to emails in my outlook - either in the app or online - the documents fail to load, and a message tells me the files are "empty". As this is a core function I use many times daily, I am pretty concerned! BTW, the dropbox share in Outlook does work but this is not a sufficient alternative in my work environment. Any ideas about how to get this working properly?

    Hey susanb1, I hope you're having a smooth Monday so far! 

     

    I've merged your post under a similar thread, since the OP expressed a similar concern and I wanted to keep everything under one place.

     

    Feel free to check some of the troubleshooting done here, and let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi Megan, How do I find the thread that you moved my question to? I looked at recents but didn't see anything. And I have no idea what OP means... new around here.
