    Update:

     

    I connected to my phone's hot spot and was able to log into the app, get it to sync, and all the normal jazz that had been working up until a couple days ago. 

    Therefore, there is something at the network level that is blocking the Dropbox authentication and syncing ports and/or URLs.

     

    That means it's resolved as far as Dropbox is concerned, but not for me. 


    I appreciate everyone's assistance.

     

    Sincerely,

    Buddy

Hi WardenBrim, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

 

If you happen to be running any antivirus, VPN or firewall on your computer, could you temporarily disable them and try the offline installer from this page as well?

 

Let me know how it goes!

    Hey, Walter,

     

    I'm not running an AV or VPN, firewall is off.

     

    Any other ideas?
