Dropbox app won't upload images anymore from the iphone
Anyone else finding that since the update, they can't get images to upload to dropbox on their iphones anymore?
Hey Jodes, let's try one more step, please.
Feel free to uninstall the app, reboot your phone, then re-install. If this doesn't work, take a screenshot of the error message you get, and send it back to me here, so I can have visual too.

Hi Jodes, I'd be happy to help!
How exactly do you upload the images? Do you use the camera upload feature, or manually by clicking the + button?
Have you tried restarting your phone, by any chance?
Let me know more!
- Jodes3 years agoHelpful | Level 5@Megan I have restarted my phone. I have tried uploading directly from the image and get error messages. I’ve tried doing it from the Dropbox end and get the same error.
Dropbox has asked me twice now to report the problem which I have but nothing has changed and there’s no actual ‘contact us’ for Dropbox so I’m wondering if I should stop using them and go to another similar service. - Jodes3 years agoHelpful | Level 5@Megan I have restarted my phone.

Hey Jodes, what is the OS of your mobile app, and what about the version of the Dropbox app that you have installed there?
You mentioned you get an error, can you let me know what the error is, please?
- Jodes3 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Hi Megan
Dropbox version 294.2software for phone 15.6.1
There is no error code, it just says 'couldn't upload file, can you give us more details so we can fix it?' which I've been doing now for days and it isn't fixed. After I get that one it's 'couldn't load file. Sorry, an error occurred. Please try again later'. - Megan3 years ago

Hey Jodes, do you use camera uploads to sync your content?
Have you tried to clear your app's cache? If not, can you try accessing your Dropbox settings, and giving it a go?
- Jodes3 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Megan how would you clear the cache of an app? I don't appear to have any controls to clear app caches in the settings of dropbox, it only shows me what dropbox can access, and under settings my only options are to delete it or offload it but offloading will keep all the data anyway so no effect on cache. I tried googling how but there appears no real way of clearing a cache, just deleting apps.

Hi Jodes, if you access the app, under Account, then click on the gear icon, and then clear cache.
- Jodes3 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Hey Megan thanks for that. I cleared the cache, exited the app and restarted it and unfortunately the exact same issue is still there.

Hi Jodes, you've never clarified if you click on the + icon to upload content, or if you use camera uploads.
Can you let me know more?
If you're using the latter, can you try switching camera uploads off, then on again?
