Hi @mansi2821, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you try switching browsers to see if this helps?

 

Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.

 

Keep me updated with any progress!

and if i save it as html file then it is leading me to dropbox sign in page but i am not able to do sign in and not able to proceed any further 

 

even after signing in with correct cred it keeps showing me network request failed and won't let me prceed

Do you get the same behavior when using a different browser entirely?

 

Are there any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
