It's been 2 years for me and I'm also having this issue. I thought it would be fixed by now. it's when you download dropbox images onto your local phone image folder and it doesnt show up, but it will after you do a phone restart, it's very annoying. Please dropbox support, don't ask specific questions about it, take and andriod phone and try it for yourself, that's all you would need to do. Mine is one a samsung galaxy phone, but it seems like it's just an andriod thing if it's happening on the Pixel phone too.

You mentioned you do a phone restart. I haven't tried to do that before. You're right. It's annoying.
