Integration Affected 1Password version 7.9.4 Device Google Pixel 9 Pro Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Android 16.6.3.855170483-release-arm64-v8a175632286 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 458.2.4 Question or Issue I recently noticed that when I open the 1Password app on my Google Pixel phone I get an error message saying the following: Sync error There may be a temporary problem with your network or the Dropbox server. Please check your connection and try again after some time. The version of 1Password I'm using is old and is no longer supported by them. The new version requires a subscription service. Also, the Dropbox account I have is the basic account, and is not the subscription service. Could the fact that I'm using an older version of 1Password and my Dropbox account is the basic one, and not the subscription service be part of the problem. I'm thinking of dropping 1Passwpord and using a difference password database.

Dropbox files will not open, except occasionally, in word on my s25ultra phone. Got a message from phone. "dropbox app keeps crashing. put to sleep to avoid excess battery use.'

Hello, I’m trying to connect Dropbox in the Excel SMS app on my smartphone. During the Dropbox sign-in process, the app keeps asking me to grant access permissions. After I accept, it returns me to the same consent screen again and again, so I can’t complete the connection.
