The "Couldn't load folders" error can appear when trying to open Selective Sync settings while a firewall or Internet filtering service is in place. This can happen for instance while you're connected to your work or corporate network, where that type of filtering software is usually used by network administrators.
What you can do about it: check your computer to see if you have any Internet security software enabled, try temporarily disabling it and then see if the Selective Sync settings window loads correctly.
Alternatively, you could try to temporarily use a different Internet connection (such as the personal hotspot on your mobile phone) and see if you still get that error message.
Hope this helps,

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

Hi Jay
I do not have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or ISP/router settings that interfere. My laptop (Mac) is linked to my private Wifi and that's it.
Any ideas what I could do, please?
Thanks
