Dropbox became very slow and freezes after iOS 12 update
After the update to iOS 12 on my iPhone 7 Dropbox started to behave really bad. It freezes very often, minutes of charging time to just show me a portion of the files in the folder Iâm working on. Alr...
Quick update on this: it appears that this primarily affects users with many (at least 25 or so) starred files. We have identified the cause and fixed the issue.
The fix will be in Dropbox for iOS v120, going out early next week (around Nov 6).
Thank you very much to those of you who wrote in and contributed by giving detailed descriptions of the issue, and extra thanks to those who sent in videos and crash logs.
So this has been a problem since I installed iOS 12. The app takes forever to load the files on my screen (IPad Pro). Desktop loading works fine. Before you ask, please note that I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app many times. I have logged out, cleared the cache, restarted my device, and logged in again many times over only to have the problem come back almost immediately. Looking at the other posts on this forum, it looks like itâs an issue with the app. The app is basically useless at this point and does not work. While I appreciate all the workarounds and the âpush this to clear that so it helpsâ directions, I really shouldnât have to do anything except open up the app and it works - especially as I am a subscribing customer. I have plenty of screenshots if needed but they basically just show âloadingâ. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey there AwpDk and everyone affected by this (users on iOS 12+ with more than 25 starred files) - thanks for your reports and patience on this matter.
I am just writing to let you know that this update is now live and you should be able to download it from your iPhone's (or iPad's) app store. If you don't see it right away, please try again in a few hours.
Thanks again for you diligence and have a wonderful week ahead!
- Great to hear. Just letting you know that it hasnât reached the appstore here in Denmark yet. Looking forward to it though. :-)
