Great job on the screenshots fridebidehu, thanks! 

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Dropbox to see how it works on your end?

Before you do, make sure to clear the cache as well: 
 
  • Navigate to the “Account” tab
  • Tap the gear icon in the upper-left corner of the screen
  • Scroll to the bottom of the screen
  • Select “Clear Cache” under "Privacy"

I did uninstall, reinstall, and clear cache. It still doesn't work.
It is a problem with WebKitBlobResource, ie. dialog between Safari and Dropbox on iOS.
