Dropbox unstable in iPad OS Files App.
The problem I have is that Dropbox seems to crash when running on an iPAD via the apple files app. If I open an application that uses the files app, such as Pages or Final Draft, when saving to the D...
We recently upgraded the syncing experience between the Files and Dropbox and it should be more reliable now. Ensure that your Dropbox app is upgraded to receive the full benefits of this experience!

I have the same problem!
it works for some minutes, then all of a sudden it hangs for a few seconds and then I canât access Dropbox folders in the files app unless I reboot the iPad. This is really frustrating because it renders Dropbox useless for professional use.
- Hi, I did some research myself and also raised a support ticket with Dropbox support people who looked into this for me the conclusion that we came to was that this is probably an Apple issue as in itâs part of the files app thatâs blocking dropbox, it has improved a little bit of late but it is still happening for me. The problem is trying to go through this with Apple would be frustrating because they would just say I suspect it was a Dropbox problem. It doesnât seem to happen with other apps, but to be fair if you use the dropbox app directly there are no issues itâs only when youâre trying to access a file through the MyFiles application so I suspect the problem is with the Apple operating system blocking access for some reason or as I suspect there is some demon running that is falling over. I used to work in IT support so Iâm always interested in trying to resolve things I spent a long time working on this but unfortunately just kept coming up against the same brick wall, as I say Iâm not sure itâs a Dropbox problem.
