Hey mockswede, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Can you let us know your device's exact OS version and the version of the Dropbox mobile app installed there as well?

 

Have you tried another wifi or doing it via cellular data perhaps?

"Have you tried another wifi or doing it via cellular data perhaps? "

 

Really?  I'm gonna do the work for trhe developers?

 

I need it to work on my WiFi and do NOT need to use up my cellphone DATA capped connection.

 

I'm NOT a 'roamer' or a 'world traveler'.

 

Just need this to work AUTOMATICALLY, within my HOME WiFi range, to save cellphone pictures to DropBox, when I'm INrange.

 

I should NOT have to 'remember' that this POS software needs to be DISABLED when I come home, so that my more important pictures are saved from any unexpected demise of this cellphone, which has NON-removeable internal memory.  Not any SIM or DRAM or SDRAM hard storage within it's CARCASS..

 

Have a good day.

 

Thank you for your interest in this pervasive problem between Nord VPN and DropBox
