Hi Luciano A.1! I’m sorry to hear the same issue persists. 

 

Did you also clear the Dropbox app’s cache before reinstalling/restarting your device? If not, can you please give that a try as well, and let me know how it goes?

 

For anyone else that has the issue, can you please try the same and keep me posted for any updates? 

 

Thanks!

        For me now it’s ok it’s good !! I followed the steps they asked to do. I cleared the cache, I cleared the history, I logged out, I uninstalled the application, I logged out App Phone, I turned off the phone, I restarted the phone, I reconnected App Phone, downloaded Dropbox, logged in. The error message still appears, but the file saves correctly
