You can use Dropbox on your web browser, and in general, it works smoothly without any issues, but sometimes Dropbox.com may not load or not work due to some network or PC Browser issues. Here, we will look at some of the best methods to fix if dropbox is not loading on your PC Browser. The guide below is explicitly written for the Chrome browser, but the same fix can be applied to other Chromium browsers or Safari browsers on Mac.
1. Change DNS Settings
If dropbox is not loading even with a proper internet connection, then the issue may be with your DNS servers. DNS is a set of information similar to a phone directory that helps retrieve data from the web. DNS is set by default by your ISP, but you can change the DNS, and it will not impact your internet speeds. You can change the DNS from the default to other public DNS addresses like Cloudflare, Google DNS, or OpenDNS in the browser itself.
2. Clear Browsing Data
With time the browser collects a large amount of cache and cookies data to help keep your browsing safe and make the page faster. This cache sometimes causes loading issues causes with websites; it is good to clear browsing cache data and cookie data to check if Dropbox is working properly.
3. Use Incognito Browsing Window
Using a private tab or incognito mode on the chromium Browser can help fix the issue, as the private tab does not store any cache or cookie data. This will give Dropbox a fresh start and thus helps fix any loading issues with Dropbox. On the Chrome browser, you have to press Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows) or command+shift+N (Mac) to summon an incognito browser window.
On some browsers, it is also termed private browsing. You can start a private browsing session on Microsoft Edge by pressing the same hotkeys combination Ctrl + Shift + N.
4. Update the Browser
Start the troubleshooting by updating the browser version to the latest build. Typically, all browsers update independently when the PC is connected to the internet. Still, the browser may not have been updated due to some technical issues. So, you can manually perform an update. I’m using the Chrome browser. You can repeat the same steps for any browser that you use. The settings are mostly similar on all browsers.
5. Reset the Browser Settings
If some of the solutions I posted above are not working, you may try resetting the browser settings. Doing this has often fixed various technical issues on the browser.
6. Disable Faulty Browser Extensions
Extensions work by performing some task on a web page; they either work when the page is loading or after it loads. If there are any code injecting or script blocking extensions (like Privacy Badger), then it is good to disable such add-ons and check if Dropbox is loading properly. That’s it with this simple guide about you can fix your dropbox is not loading on your chromium-browser Safari Browser on your Windows on Mac PC
