How can we get an older version of the Dropbox app for iOS?

I represent a scout band where we have recently been donated some older ipad 2's and cannot afford to purchase more up to date models.

We are now unable to download the compatible IOS app from app store. How can I get hold of the odler app and get it on all of our Ipads?

    Hey champton, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community with your question today.

     

    I'm afraid that there's no official Dropbox way to download and install an older version of the Dropbox app on your iPads.

     

    And even if you could somehow, I'm not sure it would work either, so it's not something we'd recommend. 😕

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi champton 

    Older versions have been stopped from accessing the Dropbox services. The only work around would be to use the Dropbox website.
