    Has he added no-reply@dropbox.com to his safe list? Checked spam and any junk/clutter folders?

     

    As a side note make sure he has a download copy of all info for worst case scenarios.

    Yes. He did everything, that is suggested and nothing works. And nothing was downloaded, so we are really hoping for a solution.
