Could you just try disabling and then enabling Dropbox as a location within the Files app?
To do this, open up the Files app and tap the "..." option in the top right and choose "Edit". From here, try toggling off and on the Dropbox option.

Hi Daphne,
I just followed your instructions of disabling/re-enabling Dropbox on the Files app, and I’m still getting this error.

I tried it and it didn't work either, sorry.

Thank you both Kay V. and Willeverywhere for your updates and sticking with me so far!
I'm still looking into this on my side and I'll keep you updated with my findings here.
In the meantime, the workaround I can suggest for now would be what I outlined previously here. Thanks for sharing your workaround for this too Willeverywhere, perhaps if you're using the same app Kay V. you can try this out.
If there's anything else I can help with at the moment, please feel free to just give me a nudge here.
Hope you have a lovely weekend ahead - thanks!

- Kay V.6 years agoExplorer | Level 4Thanks for your reply. I can’t figure out any options how to contact the dropbox support via email, maybe because I’m on the basic, free subscription?Regarding the fact that that there are a bunch of other people having this problem I would appreciate it if you would contact the expert team. Would that be possible?

Thanks Daphne!
- Kay V.6 years agoExplorer | Level 4Hi Daphne , I tried to reply to your E-Mail with my E-Mail-App (iOS) but it came back after a few days because it couldn’t be delivered.
Here’s what I wrote to you:
Hi Daphne,
I am using an iPad Pro 2020 with iPad OS 13.5 an an iPhone 7 with iOS 13.5.1, both devices have the issue.
My iPhone did not have the issue though, before I updated it from iOS 12.4 to 13.5.1, suggesting some incompatibilities between iOS 13.5.x and the iOS file manager app.
Best wishes
Kay
