I'm having an annoying glitch where every time I make a folder, it makes the folder but immediately boots me out to the main Dropbox area. Then I have to navigate back to where I was working. Is this a bug or what's going on? (I'm working within the browser, not in the app.)
Hey @SparksofEmber, sorry to hear about this.
Have you by any chance cleared your browser's cache since you first noticed this? What about using another browser?
Keep me posted please!

I haven't tried clearing my cache yet but I just tried in Edge (I usually use Chrome) and the exact same thing happened. It boots me out to the main Dropbox area and I get a message that the folder I just created does not exist even though it now does.
And I just cleared my cache and signed back in - same error again.
Thanks for giving that a go, @SparksofEmber.
Can you take one extra step and try this via an incognito window on your browser instead?
If the issue persists, I'd like you to send me a screenshot of the error you're receiving, as well as one more showing the newly-created folder.

It still happened. Screenshot attached. The first one shows the Testing folder I made. The second one shows the message I see after I create a new folder and it immediately jumps me out.
Hey @SparksofEmber, sorry to jump in here, but would it be OK if we reached out via email to have a further look internally at this point?
