Square box in photos tab in the mobile app on Android
Hi, I am new to the community so please forgive me if I'm in the wrong segment. My queries is when I open the photos section on my Android app a square box appears & stays there. A little segment rotates in the Square & that's it. All my files are there & the what's normally in photos are there to upload. Happening on my 2 android devices. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
- Update is out and resolves the issue. Thanks.

- EMCrash2 years agoHelpful | Level 6The only thing so far is we on the same OS but I've not updated my OS for a little bit now so not sure what changed to cause the issue. I wonder if Dropbox have updated something on there end?
- pgheery2 years agoHelpful | Level 6I think it most likely is a Dropbox issue, I have 2 Android phones, both displaying the same symptoms, neither of which has been upgraded recently.
- scdesigna2 years agoNew member | Level 2Having the same issue after the latest dropbox app update. S24Ultra, app and OS up to date. Reset the photo tab via the app and cleared the cache. Same issue exists. Photos tab never populates. Removed app and reinstalled, no luck. Hopefully an app update will fix this issue.
- EMCrash2 years agoHelpful | Level 6Hopefully more people will come forward and Dropbox will see they have an issue with the app and get it patched
