The default browser is the latest version of Edge, so I know that it is not affected by the browser version.

Hi superJames, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
When you say that the has stopped working for a while, could you clarify what you mean by that? Were you using that app before? When approximately did you purchase the laptop?
Are you trying to activate the promotion on a new or existing Dropbox account?
This will help me to assist further!

I am trying to activate the 20 GB promotion on this account. The issue is, that back in the past, Dell had a promotion with Dropbox with a purchase of a new Dell computer, you get 20GB of space. I learned that it stopped working for a while, due to an old forum post by someone else, and from when I tried to redeem it.

Hey superJames - thanks for the additional info - much appreciated. May we reach out via email to have a further look internally? This way we'd be able to investigate with account and device specific information.
