This article offers solutions to the most common problems users sometimes experience with Dash, including:

Viewing public share links
SSL certificate errors
Follow each of the steps in this article in turn and hopefully you'll resolve the issue. You can always contact us at any time using the in-app chat if you would like our support.
1. Make sure you are using a supported browser
See our list of supported browsers.
2. Log out of Dash and back in again
3. Try again from a private window
Most problems downloading occur from an out of date browser cache or installed browser extensions. To test for this, open a new private window (in Chrome click File > New Incognito Window). Once in the new window, log in to your Dash and try again.
⚠️ Testing in a private window helps rule out problems caused by extensions. If you have manually enabled an extension to also run in incognito, please undo this temporarily.
If this solves the problem, do the following (jump to step 3 if you still had the problem in a private window):
a) Clear your browser cache and hard reload
Return to the normal (non-incognito) window
Open the browser's developer console (on Chrome: CMD+ALT+J on Mac, CTRL+SHIFT+J on Windows)
Right-click the Refresh icon
Click "Empty cache and hard reload"
If that still doesn't work (but it did work in a private window):
b) Disable browser extensions
Turn off each extension one by one and repeat your download in Dash until the download works and you identify the offending extension.
A good place to start is with ad blocking extensions.
3. Check for firewall issues
If you have a corporate firewall or VPN active on your computer, this could be blocking Dash functionality. Please check with your IT team and ask them to whitelist Dash by sending them a link to this article.
4. Get in touch
