can't open jpg on my dropbox app on my phone
Good morning,
I woke up today and I can't open jpg files in the dropbox app on my iphone. My phone has the latest update and so has the Dropbox app.
I have two Dropbox profiles but I can't open jpg's on either of them..... it's really annoying becauase I need to get access to those pics on the go everyday at work....
Anyone has a tip or two about how to solve it? Thanks in advance,
Justin

Yes! We are all experiencing this same issue - see this thread:

Hello Hannah,
I cleared the cache, but it did not fix the problem.
I store all files in the Dropbox cloud, not locally, but I do have plenty of of space available in the Apply iCloud (using only 2.9 GB). According to the Dropbox app, I have 81.92 GB of space available for local storage on my phone and I am using zero.
Up until yesterday, the Dropbox app has worked the way it's supposed to on my iPhone.
Thank you,
Kenda

Thank you, Eric.
I guess it's nice to know that I am not the only one with this issue. When the problem started for me yesterday, I had not installed the latest iOS update yet. I installed it this morning, hoping it would fix the problem, but it didn't. I'm just pointing out that this issue was not caused by the 16.3.1 iOS update - in case anyone wonders about that.
- meredithcardall3 years agoNew member | Level 2I am having the same issue. Started about 20 hours ago. I’ve cleared cache, uninstalled and installed app, restarted iPhone, etc.
- Jlion0293 years agoHelpful | Level 5Definitely seems like a Dropbox app issue and not an any individual users issue. Dropbox team hope you’re able to raise a ticket for this issue internally and fix 🙏🏻

I am having the same problem - on an iPhone 13 which has been updated along with the app. I have deleted the app and restarted and redownloaded several different times. I tried making them available offline and nothing is working…

hello,
i have encountered a problem that i have just noticed about an hour ago, I'm unable to view photos that are in my dropbox folders,
I'm currently using an ipad and iphone however, i am able to view photos when using a laptop with no issues. my iphone and ipad are up to date with the latest ios and so is the app (version 316.3.2) I have tried clearing my cache and logged out and logged back in again to no avail, i have also deleted the app and re-installed, again with no success.
thanks in advance

- meredithcardall3 years agoNew member | Level 2My images just came back. I haven’t done anything in the last three hours. I hope it’s working now for everyone.
- Kenda3 years agoHelpful | Level 5Yes! Everything is working correctly for me now too. Thank you Dropbox Guru’s!
