Dropbox stopped working on iPad, deleted and reinstalled, will not login.

    I'm entering my email and password manually.

    I'm sorry to have wasted everyone's time, as it turns out it was a problem with my password program. I fixed it and can login.

    Thanks for all the support.

    iPadOS 15.8.2

    DB 400.2

     

    The App Store stated it was compatible with the iPad before I installed it.

      It should work....

       

      Have you tried to delete the app, reboot and press and hold the side buttons till Apple icon appears and then reinstall?
