STILL can't get my Dropbox photos to show up in my Android gallery
I've read all the related forum posts dating back to 2012 with no avil.
Problem: I use dropbox mostly for photoshop files and JPG photos. I have many folders and subfolders with pictures and files...

Just coming to confirm this is still an issue and it has been for over a year.
Dropbox people who try and help here it's not a complex issue on our side.
If we single export a photo it's fine but if we batch export they don't show up in the gallery.
So for me this is an issue because when I go to post a photo to Instagram it's not available.
I've been having to individually export each photo for a few years to get around this now but it's the only problem I have with Dropbox, it's very time consuming and I don't understand why the people from Dropbox never seem to understand the issue when it's bought up here. It's nothing to do with wifi or celluar or index folders or anything. It's as simple as single export works and and batch save to device doesnt.
I'm on a OnePlus 6T running the newest version of Android but I've had this issue for at least 2 years across all versions of android.
