    As we expected, IOS 12.1 update has solved the issue. 

    Now, in Shortcus app, the action “Get File” with Dropbox, woks fine, as it dit in Workflow app in IOS 11.

I’m sorry Jay, but the initial question remains unsolved: the “Get file” action in Shortcuts app DON’T returns the list of the files in a given Dropbox folder. With or without the “/“ at the end of the path.

The solution given by nuwen refers to the “Save file” action, that works fine.

Same issue here with ios 14.2.1 Shortcut to Get File(s) to merge PDFs no longer shows a list of files to select. It shows the list of folders in Dropbox, but won’t advance to the files themselves.
