Unable to open available offline file on my Android.
Hi. I'm using the Android version of the Dropbox app. (ver. 450.2.2) I set the text file to "Available offline" and edit it offline. In certain circumstances, offline files cannot be opened. 1. Connect your Android device to the Internet and sync files. 2. Edit the text file marked "Available offline", save it, and synchronize it with the server. 3. Disconnect your Android device from the internet. 4. Tap the file you just synced. 5. I can't open a file and get the error message "Network error. Retry later." If you open a synced text file while your device is online, you can then open the text file even if your device is offline. If you sync a text file and then go offline without opening it online, you will not be able to open the text file. Please fix this behavior.

My Windows 11 File Explorer freezes, when I take an action on my Dropbox files.
Since the upgrade of my computer on mid august, I suffer an unbearable bug with dropbox. Note that only the dropbox folder is making issues ; all options work well on the website, and that problme occurs ONLY while I'm in dropbox folder. The issue When I double-click on a subfolder, when I right-click on a file (in order to share it as a link for example) or when I replace a file (like copy/paste a new version), 90% of the time this file explorer window freezes. If I let it runs, it may or may not eventually make the action after 1 to 10 minuts. If, during this time, I open a new file explorer window and navigate into it until I reach Dropbox, the exact same problem occurs on this second window. That makes Dropbox totally unusable to me, so I consider switching to google drive instead of Dropbox after many loyal years. My workflow is badly and painly handicaped by this bug. I tried to uninstall and reinstall dropbox, to move it from a Sata SSD to an NVME SSD (and back), to update it, update windows, update nvidia drivers. I even udpated my bios. I also tried to disable my firewall. Nothing works. I readed many other users topics encountering the exact or almost same issue. I tried all suggested solutions in those posts i readed, but nothing worked for me. I'm about to give up, but maybe will you have an idea to fix this. Last chance. Hardware infos Application Affected : Dropbox Device : PC (Asrock Z890 wifi legend, Core ultra 7 265K, 48Go DDR5, RTX 4070) Operating System/Browser : Windows 11 24H2 (on NVME SSD) - Firefox. Dropbox Version : Dropbox Plus (23% of 2TB), v236.4.5918. PS : sorry for the approximative english, not native.

Can't attach Dropbox files to emails on iOS 15, app version 444.2.2
I'm unable to attach dropbox files to my emails from iphone 15 pro max. I have Dropbox app version 444.2.2 installed. I don't know if this is relevant, but I read that I should go to the "Files" app. When I do that, I see a screen that says at top "ALLOW FILES TO ACCESS" and below that it lists "Apple intelligence & Siri," "Search," and "Cellular Data."
Unable to access HDD saved files that are in Dropbox. Stuck spinning icon and then gives up.
I my Dropbox sync to a dedicated HDD and save my files, photo, etc on that drive which is then syned to Dropbox. Since about July25, I haven't been able to access even the folders on the drive.
