"Camera Uploads is disabled by your admin" error on iOS

So...
i think there is something wrong with my dropbox ios app.
It worked fine until about 2 hours ago.
I have alread logged out, install/uninstall, power cycle the phone, everything level 1 helpdesk has been done.
Yes, i have space, the account is working fine from the notebook.
For example the screenshot upload from windows is fine.
Both dropbox app and ios are the latest version.
I'm not part of a team, never have been.

    Thank you Walter! I closed and reopened the app and it’s all uploaded fine now, the mysterious error message has vanished.

    I’m experiencing the same thing. No amount of troubleshooting seems to fix it. I’m on a personal account, not a team. When I open the app it looks like camera uploads will work then I get the same error message.
