Any way to allow the iPad's screen to shut off when a file is displayed in the Dropbox app?

Hi,  I just came home from work to discover my ipad screen still on, 9 hours after I left it. I realised that when the dropbox app is open, and a document is being displayed (full screen or not),...

Hi Walter, 

These first time I've noticed it but I've rarely use my iPad for this purpose until recently. 

It's a 9th gen ipad with the latest update, iOS 18.4.1. Dropbox app update 422.2.2.

The screen sleeps fine when just browsing the dropbox app. It stops sleeping as soon as a document is selected to view.

Thanks!

Jon
