With all the useless steps provided here, the one solution is to check your hosts file.
I had downloaded some *cough* software which auto edited my host file with a whole lotta entries pointing to 127.0.0.1 and although none of them were directly dropbox.com - there is some dependency that dropbox needs that was being blocked.
Nonetheless, check your host file and remove entries that seem weird until you the page loads. You're welcome.
