    Hey hmafooz, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Have you tried clearing the app's cache from your settings, to see if that helps?

     

    If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, which should do the trick.

     

    Let me know how it goes!

    Mine do as well. I wanted to move some files from one folder to another and got the same result. I tried to delete a folder, got the same.

    I tried on my phone (App) got the message (check your internet connection) Tried with wifi and my internet on the phone.

    Tried on my computer via homepage and it just stood like that for ever. I have tried refreshing, removing cache and so. Nothing helps. So I think the problem is at dropbox themself.
