    Just noticed today that there's a new button in Dropbox settings saying Clear cache. So hopefully the problem is now resolved :-)

Hey David5104, welcome to our forum :slight_smile:
 
Try this to find the Clear Cache feature: 
  • open the Dropbox app on your iPhone 6
  • at the bottom left of your screen, select Recents
  • at the top left of the next screen, select the Gear icon to get to settings
  • here you’ll see the Clear Cache option
I hope this helps! 
Thanks
