Thanks for posting this on our Community, IsaacRaphael!

 

Have you made sure that pop-ups aren’t being blocked for the Dropbox website? 

 

Can you please temporarily disable AdBlock, and try to download your files from Dropbox then? 

 

Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you.

    Hey IsaacRaphael, can you indeed send us a screenshot of the error you're getting, so we can take a look?

        No worries, IsaacRaphael!

         

        It looks like this pop-up is coming from a site called Dropgalaxy, and not Dropbox.

         

        I hope this helps!
