Hey @glower23, thanks for posting to our Community today!

Would you mind giving us some more info on your issue, please?

Are you not able to access your Dropbox files from your new PC?

And do you have this issue with all your Dropbox files? Do you have this issue with your Backup too?

Are you able to access all your files on our website?

Any additional info, would be really helpful.

Thanks.

I am having an issue viewing content as well. It baffles me seeing as how I keep getting told storage is full to upgrade. It happens on android and ios app, and the web except from origanal computer. Problem is at the moment said computer is down due to an issue trying to update it and now I have no way to access it.

Hi AnnWood

is yours "stored" in your desktop or Webbased?

Cos mine is storage in Desktop.

AnnWood

I have no idea. I assumed web because it is backed up here but honestly I don’t know.

Hey @AnnWood, I'd be happy to help!

Do you get a specific error when trying to open your files using the website, or the mobile app? Are you able to locate your files there?

Feel free to send me any screenshots you might have, showing the error message. Also, let me know if this happens with all of your file types.

Keep me posted!

AnnWood

I do I am not sure how to send screenshots on here so. It says.
Critical process died as far as files go I have no clue, it never gets past start up.

Walter

Hey @AnnWood, sorry to jump in, but I just wanted to mention that you should be able to attach a screenshot through the camera icon within your reply's box.

If you're not seeing it, you could try another web browser or device perhaps.

AnnWood

Will try a different browser because I don’t see one
