    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 Megan 

Dropbox version 294.2

software 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'.

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?

    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.

        Hey Megan thanks for that. I cleared the cache, exited the app and restarted it and unfortunately the exact same issue is still there.
