When I click on files on the Dropbox website in Chrome, the page shows loading symbols, but then goes blank as soon as it finishes loading, and doesn't display the document, or even an error message.

How can I move files to a specific folder on the Dropbox website?
I found that Dropbox was making my Pc's and laptops unusable because synching dropbox content to them meant that Dropbox files were still using all the space on my hard drive!
