Dropbox all the sudden downloads the file I'm trying to upload.

Dropbox all the sudden downloads the file I'm trying to upload.

All the sudden this morning when I drag and drop a file into the browser window ( Chrome ) instead of the file uploading and getting the in browser upload status indicator the file I uploaded starts downloading in my browsers download list. When I manually upload a file using the "Upload" button in Dropbox nothing happens. 

I have tried this in now three separate browsers - 2 on PC one on Mac. Is there some type of issue going on with DB?

 

I have a broadcast deadline and my client is freaking out ...

Exact same thing happening to me.
With my account it does not work from my laptop or desktop.
Works from those same machines with my wife's account.
Is the issue account related?
