View, download, and export

Hello
I am often downloading PDF files from the web, e. g. bank account statements and so on.
When these documents are generated on the go (url starts with blob://), I cannot save them to Dropbox.
To be precise: I am running the iOS Dropbox app (latest version) and Safari on iOS 14.5.1 (iPhone 7). As far as I know I had the same problem on Chrome and iOS 14.4.
The work-around is to use Apple's Files.app to save the file to Dropbox... it works but it's weird.
When saving directly the file to Dropbox using the "Share" menu, I get an error message from Dropbox (Impossible to save the file, check your Internet connection) or - worse - it creates an empty file instead of saving the actual file.
Did anyone else experience this problem? Is it a know Dropbox issue on iOS?
