Android 14: Camera Uploads needs access to storage
Those of you who have this error:
1. In Android Settings, go to Apps. Select Dropbox.
2. Click "Force Stop".
3. Click "Permissions".
4. Click on "Photos and Videos".
5. Select "Don't Allow".
6. Restart Dropbox. Open Dropbox Settings.
7. Click on Camera Uploads.
8. Dropbox will ask you for permission again. Select "Allow All".
9. Done. It's fixed.
Hi Everybody,
This should be fixed with the newest release, and the workaround should no longer necessary. Please update your apps and let us know if the access request persists.
Regards,
Ben

2024 Worked, be sure to follow all instructions to reset Android and DB settings.
Thank you! It's work, Greate!
problem still exists
Not touched Linux in a while but looks like chmod is sure getting complicated to set the right permissions these days.
I've updated the newest version, still had the same problem. But thanks to the above tip it works again!
This is still an active ongoing issue as of today, 3 months after you said a fix would be issued. Thank goodness I found @James S.5 fix above today.
This worked for me, thanks!
I just got a new phone today and it installed dropbox so assuming its the newest version, updated to android 14 and went to set up my dropbox app and still had this problem. galaxy s23 work around fixed the issue.
Still seeing this issue on app v358.2.2 (12-Dec-23) where it keeps asking for storage permissions to enable camera uploads even though it already has Permissions to access Photos and videos. The workaround to remove all perms first etc. works.
That's numberwang!
