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 Dropbox via the files app, it crashes the app and for the next 4 to 5 minutes if I click on drop box via the files app it just doesn’t load.
Apple has confirmed this is a Dropbox issue (I raised it with them first), and I have not been able to crash the application(s) using Google Drive via files in the same way.
Can anyone help?
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’m experiencing the same issue. On ipad pro, the files app freezes when opening dropbox files. Very annoying! Is there any news?
This has been going on for over 6 months with more and more people having to deal with this problem and there seems to be little in the way of effort to actually fix it other than asking people to submit cases. I personally ended up moving to use iCloud for my needs as it works ALWAYS. However as my team continues using Dropbox, I end up having to copy anything over from Dropbox to iCloud using my PC so I can reliably access it from my iPad. The Dropbox integration with the Files app is clearly broken and anyone can reproduce the problem in a matter of a minute or so by loading files. Please get it fixed!
Sure!
hi. I have been trying so many things to solve this same issue. I have read multiple threads with people having the same problem.
No one seems able to fix it.
When i speak to Dropbox direct they don’t have a solve either.

Thanks for sending over your ticket number! I appreciate it.
Can you let me know if you also cleared your mobile app’s cache, before reinstalling it? You should be able to do this via the app’s settings.
Besides that, I’d like you to send me the Dropbox app’s version that should be showing on the same page.
