Thank you for being so swift in your response.
I'm using the Dropbox app version 382.2.4
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra running Android 14.
Samsung's interface is called One UI version 6.1
My photos are organized in folders in Dropbox, so I can easily scroll through the same folders on all my devices. On my Windows PC, this is done without any problems.
On my Dropbox app for Android, I access my photos using Dropbox's Files tab.
If the Android Dropbox app has another way of picking a specific folder and scrolling through these photos and no others, I haven't found it yet.
Thank you very much for your help 😊

If you go to the setting shown in the screenshot on this solution, do you see that you have selected a default app preference for image files?
And if so, are you able to remove it, like the solution mentions, so that the images open as a Dropbox preview?
