    Hi there,

     

    Apologies for the trouble with the Dropbox and Files.app integration. Could you try opening the Files app directly, going into the “Edit” menu in the upper right, then re-enabling the Dropbox integration?

     

    We have heard reports that when people uninstall and re-install the Dropbox app, or when they do an iCloud restore, this integration needs to be re-enabled manually.

     

    Let us know if that works!

I have problema with both accounts. The file app does not read dropbox.

However if I go into the dropbox app, export files to mail it does work.

I cannot drag files from dropbox to mail directly, which is quite inconvenient.

Hi, did you solve your issue? I’m also seeing the message:

Content Unavailable. The Folder contents could not be displayed because of an unknown error.

It’s been like this for a few weeks now. Toggling DropBox off and back on in Files doesn’t change anything. This is super annoying as I have all my business files in Dropbox, and basically can’t email them as an attachment from the Mail app, making working from my phone impossible.

I’m on an IPhone 11, latest iOS version. I have a Dropbox business account, no personal account.

Please tell me how to solve this.
