We have been trying for days to connect through Dropbox. We have a client that insists on using this dodgy service, so we have no choice.
If we connect through the web interface, we get nothign but corrupt downloads because of the amount of data. The only workaround is to download a dozen or so individual zip files and hope that everything goes right.
So we've tried to download and install the client. The only people who can currently connect are people who have previously signed into Dropbox using the desktop client. So far, here is what I have tried:
2 Macs on our network(Wired). Newest version, Beta version, standalone installer, none work.
1 Mac on my home setup(Wireless). Nothing.
Same Mac on the 'backup' network at work. This is a backup network that has just recently been installed and has not been configured outside of the stock setup yet. No firewall, no proxies, just the "OK, there's your internet, have fun!" setup.
1 Windows 10 PC on work network(Wired). Nothing
1 Windows 7 PC on backup network(Wired).
On every machine, we have the same issue, it just says "Connecting". Occasionally, one of the Windows machines will pop up the login screen, but that can take hours, and once I enter credentials, nothing happens, the login box is greyed out, and the icon spins. Forever. I think one of the Macs had the login window once. I have manually set the proxy setting to "No Proxy', I even turned Windows Firewall off on the Win 7 PC that is NOT connected to a filtered network in any way. There is no anti virus, no proxy, no web filtering, no firewall, nothing, and these machines won't connect, even to try logging the account in.
So in summation:
3 different networks
3 different OS
5 different computers
2 different tyupes of connection
No connection. This is consistent enough that I cannot be the only person with this issue.
