This file cannot be previewed because you are offline
Why can't I see the documents I received?

Dropbox StaffHi dleigh73, welcome to our Community, and happy March 1st!
If I understand this correctly, you get the "file can't be previewed because you're offline" error when you're trying to view one of your files.
I'd love some extra details, such as how you're trying to view the file? Is it on the website, desktop or mobile app?
You mentioned that you received this document: did you receive a shared folder, shared link, Transfer or a different way?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
I get the same error. I have a PDF document that has hyperlinks to other files that are also in my drop box. Any PDF that is hyperlinked to my dropbox files give the error. Other hyper links on my PDF do work.

Hey Jeff Kleinman, welcome to our Community!
Do you get the error you mentioned, only when you try to open these links through your PDF?
What happens if you try to preview the content normally in your account? Do you get any errors then? Any screenshots you might have are welcome.
Let me know more!
I can down load them but if I try to open the document through my google chrome browser, I get the same error: This file cannot be previewed because you are off line. I can open in both download or open in: adobe.
If you would like I would be happy to screen share or send over screen shots. Let me know.
