    Hi Jay,

    There is nothing in either of those.

     

    However, the popup message no longer appears on either my phone or my wife's! I have not changed anything but the result is good!

     

    I guess our phones were scared because I started talking to you - you rock!

     

    Thanks,

    Tony

Hi AlBauer, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Is this a shared link to a file, or a shared file? How is it blocking the usage of the Dropbox mobile app?

 

Could you attach a screenshot showing the message you're getting, while hiding any names or emails?

 

This will help me to assist further!

  • Hi Jay,

it is a shared file via Dropbox.
I can use the app but this message keeps popping up and it is a nuisance.

i can’t see the option to attach a screenshot 😞

Kind regards,
Al Bauer

    This should work. I linked the screenshot.

      Hey AlBauer, sorry to jump in but did you clear the app's cache at all since you first noticed this?

       

      If not, could you give it a go, uninstall the app completely and re-install it and let us know how it goes?
