Hello, 

Starting mid week this week, we started having probelms accessing our files stored on dropbox. We are able to login, and view file previews with no issue. However, whenever we go to open to the web or download (in word or excel), we receive error 500 that "something went wrong." It happened sporadocially during the week, but got worse last night when dropbox seemed super slow. Today, several of us cant access dropbox and are getting that error. We are on different laptops in different locations so it isnt the server or the wifi. Any ideas?
