Re: 'An error occurred loading activity' on the mobile app

Hi JackYue9099, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

In order to help us out a bit more, could you let me know the version of the app and OS you're running on your device? 

 

As a first step, I'd recommend using a different network to see if this helps with the mobile app.

 

Keep me posted!

    If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try clearing the cache in the app, uninstalling it, rebooting the device, and re-installing it to see if this helps?

    i've done them all. But only when i went to the app store to download it indicated that it was in the cloud and thats where i downloaded from. Was i supposed to do something else to get a fresh,new copy?

    Could you clarify what you mean by 'it was in the cloud'?

     

    Are you able to mark the file as available offline to view it?

    Hey JackYue9099 - sorry to jump in here, but have you tried clearing the app's cache at all since you first noticed this?

    In that case, I'd recommend getting in touch with the support team for further assistance with account and device specific information at this point JackYue9099 

     

    You can let us know the ticket ID if you do so so that we can look it up as well if needed.
