Dropbox isn't allowing me to view or share files on the mobile app/website.
Both on phone app and the website. They show for a second and then say "something went wrong our end" with a dart board graphic? I also can't copy the link to a file from the right click menu or share any files? This is incredibly annoying as I need to send a folder. Thanks for the help.
