2 years agoHi kenternst, we've not seen similar reports like this. Have you tried connecting to a stable WiFi connection to see if the issue persists?

I'm having this exact same issue, Galaxy s22 Ultra, Android 14.
Thumbnails either don't load when i open the folder or they'll load but when i hold on 1 to start marking them for deleting or to move them, all the thumbnails change to generic icons, so unless i remember what each photo looks like before i start marking them, its impossible to move or delete multiple files at once.

Hi Everybody,
A recent Dropbox for Android update addressed a thumbnail loading issue. Please update your app to the newest version. If thumbnails are still failing to load and disappearing, let me know and we can investigate further.
Thanks,
Ben

Sorry, but no change after updating your app and rebooting my tablet. Still difficult to get thumbnails to load and thumbnails still disappear after making one selection.
