Hi Hannah, thanks for the reply!
No unfortunately there's nothing in that thread that can help. The thread describes a problem with the Dropbox plugin. I'm not using that.

Dropbox StaffThanks for the update Nethergoat!
Have you tried using another way, like your mobile data, to connect and access our website, to see if that works?
I'd also suggest whitelisting the Dropbox website on any VPN or proxy you may have, or if you have some kind of antivirus or firewall, I'd check there as well.
Let me know how it goes!

- Hi Hannah,
No luck. Connected my laptop to my mobile data and can't access website still. I can access the website on my phone on both wifi and mobile data.
I even turned off Windows Defender Firewall and my anti-virus (Avast) but neither worked.Right, good news! The solution posted in this thread solved the problem.
